Andi Meriem Mattalatta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seandainya kau datang
T'lah kutulis kata janjimu
Di dalam buku hidupku
Jangan kau mencoba
Permainkan diriku
Ou-uo-uo-oo
'Kan kututup pintu hatiku
Apabila kau tak datang
Cukup sudah kata janjimu
Bosan diriku menerima
Jangan kau mengira
Kau dapat berdusta
Ou-uo-uo-oo
'Kan sia-sia
Diriku kini tak lagi seperti dulu
Segala ulahmu t'lah dapat kubaca
Hou-uo
Dan haraplah kau tahu
Ku t'lah jenuh menunggu
Ku tak mau kau datang
Hanya dalam mimpiku
Seribu janji teramat indah
Yang terucap di bibirmu
Walau terdengar lembut merdu
Semua hanya ciri dirimu yang semu
Ho-oo-oo
Jangan kau mencoba
Permainkan diriku
Ou-uo-uo-oo
'Kan sia-sia
Diriku kini tak lagi seperti dulu
Segala ulahmu t'lah dapat kubaca
Hou-uo
Dan haraplah kau tahu
Ku t'lah jenuh menunggu
Ku tak mau kau datang
Hanya dalam mimpiku
Seribu janji teramat indah
Yang terucap di bibirmu
Walau terdengar lembut merdu
Semua hanya ciri dirimu yang semu
Oo-oo-oo
The lyrics of Andi Meriem Mattalatta's song "Bosan" (Bored) speaks of a person's desire to open their heart and let someone in, but also the fear that they will be hurt. The person has written down the promises made by the other person in their book of life, and they warn the other person not to try and manipulate or lie to them. The song also touches on the idea of experiencing boredom and being tired of waiting for something or someone.
In the first verse, the person sings about how they will open the door to their heart if the other person comes, but they have written down their promises in their book of life. They want to make sure that they are not being played with or lied to, warning the other person not to manipulate them.
In the second verse, the person sings about how they will close the door to their heart if the other person does not come. They are tired of waiting for the promises to be fulfilled and are bored of the situation. They again warn the other person not to think they can lie to them.
The chorus reiterates that the person is no longer the same as before and they have learned from the other person's behaviors. They warn the other person not to manipulate them, and they don't want them to come only in their dreams. The person has heard the promises made but realizes they were temporary and lies, and they will not wait anymore.
Overall, the song speaks to the fear of being hurt, the desire to be loved and let someone in, and the frustration and boredom that comes with waiting for promises that are never fulfilled.
