Alibi
Andra & The Backbone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kau tahu sesuatu
Yang ku ingin kau tak tahu
Kau tanya ini itu
Ku terdiam membisu

Kau terus memburuku
Dan tetap menuduhku
Kau terus pancing aku

Berusaha menjebakku

Terdesak tak bisa menjelaskan
Ku tak mau membagi rahasia
Ku tak bisa cerita yang kau minta
Seandainya ku bisa berkata

Alibi alibi alibi
Alibi ooo tolong aku
Alibi alibi alibi
Alibi ooo tolong aku
Alibi alibi alibi yeehhh

Kau terus memburuku
Dan tetap menungguku
Kau terus pancing aku
Berusaha menjabakku

Terdesak tak bisa menjelaskan
Ku tak mau membagi rahasia
Ku tak bisa cerita yang kau minta
Seandainya ku bisa berkata

Alibi alibi alibi
Alibi ooo tolong aku
Alibi alibi alibi
Alibi ooo tolong aku

Alibi alibi alibi yeehhh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Alibi" by Andra & The Backbone depict a situation where the singer is being accused of something, but they are unable to defend themselves because they have a secret they cannot reveal. The first stanza talks about the singer's desire to keep something a secret but being asked about it anyway. Despite being interrogated, the singer remains silent, leading to more suspicion and accusations.

In the chorus, the singer repeatedly asks for an alibi, someone to come to their aid and provide a defense or an excuse for their behavior. The second verse mirrors the first, with the singer still remaining silent and feeling trapped. They cannot offer a satisfactory explanation and feel like they are being set up or framed for something they did not do.

Overall, the song creates a sense of frustration and desperation as the singer tries to navigate a situation where they are being unfairly accused. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the need for someone to come to their aid and provide an alibi.
