Hangatkan suasana
Ada seorang sosok indah
Dia berdansa
Semua hasrat tertuju padanya
Oh cantik kau panaskan pesta
Lalu kuhampiri dirinya ho ho
Ku menyapa siapa nama dirimu terucap kata
Namun dia hanya menatapku tajam
Tak melihat didekatnya telah ada yang lainnya
Malu rasa ku ingin mati saja
Ku terkejap membayangkan
Bersama dengannya
Menghirup aroma tubuhnya
Oh indahnya
Semua hasrat tertuju padanya
Oh cantik kau panaskan pesta
Lalu kuhampiri dirinya wo
Ku menyapa siapa nama dirimu terucap kata
Namun dia hanya menatapku tajam
Tak melihat didekatnya telah ada yang lainnya
Malu rasa ku ingin mati saja
Semua hasrat tertuju padanya
Oh cantik kau panaskan pesta
Lalu kuhampiri dirinya wo
Ku menyapa siapa nama dirimu terucap kata
Namun dia hanya menatapku tajam
Tak melihat didekatnya telah ada yang lainnya
Malu rasa ku ingin mati saja
Ku menyapa siapa nama dirimu terucap kata
Namun dia hanya menatapku tajam
Tak melihat didekatnya telah ada yang lainnya
Malu rasa ku ingin mati saja
Ku menyapa siapa nama dirimu terucap kata
Namun dia hanya menatapku tajam
Tak melihat didekatnya telah ada yang lainnya
Malu rasa ku ingin mati saja
Ku menyapa siapa nama dirimu terucap kata
Namun dia hanya menatapku tajam
Tak melihat didekatnya telah ada yang lainnya
Malu rasa ku ingin mati saja
The lyrics to Barry Likumahuwa's song Mati Saja are about a man who is attracted to a beautiful woman at a party. He sees her dancing and all his desires are focused on her. He approaches her to introduce himself, but she only looks at him sharply and doesn't seem to notice that there is someone else nearby. The man feels embarrassed and wishes he could just die. He daydreams about being with the woman and imagines what it would be like to smell her scent. However, he is overwhelmed by his desire for her and the thought of being with her, coupled with his embarrassment, make him feel like he just wants to disappear.
The lyrics are about desire, attraction, and how those feelings can sometimes lead to embarrassment and shame. The man in the song is so focused on his desire for the woman that he doesn't notice the other people around him, and when he tries to talk to her, he is rebuffed. The song captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by attraction, of wanting something so badly that it almost hurts. It also speaks to the fear of rejection and the embarrassment that can come from putting yourself out there and being rejected.
Overall, Mati Saja is a poignant song about desire, shame, and the pain of unrequited love. The lyrics are beautifully written and the music complements them perfectly, creating a haunting melody that will stay with you long after the song has ended.
