Biru
Barefood Lyrics

The lyrics of Barefood's song Biru convey a sense of isolation and the overwhelming nature of internal struggles. The opening lines describe how everything that was once pure and white has faded away and disappeared, leaving the singer alone and unsteady. The use of the word "melayang" or "floating" suggests a lack of control over the situation at hand. The darkness of night is then described as a force that is killing the singer, with the pain penetrating their mind. Despite this, the singer is still standing frozen in this moment.

The repetition of the phrase "ku 'kan semaput" or "I will be extinguished" adds a sense of finality to the lyrics, and the use of the metaphor of blue skin or "parasku membiru" could be interpreted as the suffocation of the self or the feeling of being choked by one's own emotions. The chorus repeats the sense of being lost and unsteady, but this time there is a plea or a call for help, the singer asks to be "Sadarkan aku" or "wake me up". Overall, the song portrays a sense of mental anguish paired with a desire for something that can cut through the darkness and make the singer feel alive again.
