Metropolutan
Navicula Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Emosi mau tumpah
Kota ini parah
Jalan macet bikin gerah
Di kaki gedung pongah
Injak siapa yang kalah
Aku terjebak di sini Hey, aku ada di dalam kota Metropolutan
Slalu banjir tiap hujan
Asap jalan jadi awan
Di jantung Metropolutan
Orang-orang tak peduli
Alam berkonspirasi
Tenggelamkan kota ini
Aku terjebak di sini Hey, aku ada di dalam kota Metropolutan
Orang anti kata antri
Semua mau berlari
Berlarilah sampai mati
Aku terjebak di sini Hey, aku ada di dalam kota Metropolutan
Hey, aku ada di dalam kota yang mau tenggelam
The song Metropolitan by Navicula speaks about the struggles of living in a metropolitan city. The lyrics are in Indonesian, but the English translation describes how the singer's head almost bursts with frustration and how their emotions want to overflow, with the city being in a terrible state. The song then goes on to describe how the packed roads create frustration, with arrogant buildings standing tall and the winner being the one who gets stepped on. The singer feels stuck, trapped in this metropolitan area.
The song goes on to describe how the city is always flooded when it rains, and how the smoke creates a mist-like cloud in the core of the urban city. The people do not care for the environment and nature, which is conspiring against them and sinking the city. The singer feels trapped, and with the chaos of daily life with people who hate waiting in line, everyone wants to run and keep running until they die. The singer is trapped in a city that is destined for destruction.
In essence, Metropolitan speaks about the devastating effects of the urban lifestyle on nature, its people and the city that is slowly sinking. It highlights how people ignore these facts and continue to live carelessly in their fast-paced concrete jungle.

Rock in Peace (R.I.P.), 'Bli Made. He was damn good while he lasted, and we must celebrate his life, and the music he made with Navicula, too. I'm glad I knew him. Now, get a load of the "Made smile" in this video, at about 1:49! That's the Made I remember best, with a smile like a huge rainbow ( #busurhujan ) beaming out at everyone, just naturally. We are all so very lucky that Made was here. And we are all so very, very lucky that Made can never be "lost" to any of us. His music, his smile, his heart, his spirit, and his life . . . live on! :) :) :)
