Adelaide Sky
Adhitia Sofyan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These coffee cups are getting cold
Mind the people passing by
They don't know I'll be leaving soon
I'll fly away tomorrow
To far away
I'll admit a cliche
I'll be looking at my window seeing Adelaide sky
Would you be kind enough to remember
I'll be hearing my own foot steps under Adelaide sky
Would you be kind enough to remember me
I'll let you know what's on my mind
I wish they've made you portable
Then I'll carry you around and round
I bet you'll look good on me
I'll fly away tomorrow
It's been fun
I'll repeat the clichй
Things won't be the same without you
I'll be looking at my window seeing Adelaide sky
Would you be kind enough to remember
I'll be hearing my own foot steps under Adelaide sky
Would you be kind enough to remember me
I've been meaning to call you soon
But we're in different times
You might not be home now
Would you take a message
I'll try to stay awake
And fight your presence in my head
I'll be looking at my window seeing Adelaide sky
Would you be kind enough to remember
I'll be hearing my own foot steps under Adelaide sky
Would you be kind enough to remember me
The lyrics of Adhitia Sofyan's "Adelaide Sky" express the feelings of someone who is about to leave their loved one and fly away to a place far from home. The singer is asking their partner what's on their mind, as they realize that time is running out and they won't be able to talk to them for a while. The coffee cups on the table are getting cold, symbolizing the urgency of the situation.
The singer is aware of the people passing by, who are completely oblivious to the fact that they will soon be gone. The second verse has a melancholic feel when the singer admits to flying away tomorrow and that things won't be the same without their partner. They will be forced to leave behind many things, including the beautiful Adelaide sky, which they will miss dearly. The idea of being remembered is very important to the singer, as they ask their partner if they would be kind enough to remember them when they look at the same sky or hear their own footsteps.
In the final verse, the singer expresses their regrets about not being able to communicate because of the time difference between the places they will be. They ask their partner to take a message and assure them that they will fight their presence in their head and try to stay awake. The song ends with the singer asking, for the last time, if their partner would be kind enough to remember them when they see or hear something that reminds them of each other.
