Whatever It Takes
Basic Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ke laut di musim dingin
Turun dari dalam bis yang kosong
Di tengah udara yang dingin
Kopi kaleng dari vending machine
Ku masukkan dalam saku
Menggandeng tangan dan menghangatkan
Walau ku tahu sekarang
Kamu pacarnya dia
Maafkan aku telah
Mengajak kamu ke sini
Kamu cukup menemani saja
Di sampingku menjadi orang terdekat
Sama seperti dahulu tanpa berubah
Untuk terakhir kalinya
Ikutilah cintaku yang konyol ini
Sampai mentari terbenam nanti
Kamu menemaniku tanpa ada penolakkan
Hari ini bagiku adalah momen abadi
Kamu cukup menemani saja
Di sampingku menjadi orang terdekat
Sama seperti dahulu tanpa berubah
Untuk terakhir kalinya
Ikutilah cintaku yang konyol ini
Sampai mentari terbenam nanti
Kamu cukup menemani saja
Di pasir pantai yg kurindukan ini
Ayo lihat mentari senja bersama
Berdua ‘tuk hari ini
Jika esok tiba semua kembali
Dan menjadi tiga orang teman
The lyrics to Basic Black's song "Whatever It Takes" tell the story of a man who is willing to do whatever it takes to spend time with the person he loves. The singer longs to take a trip to the sea during winter, and imagines holding hands and staying warm in the cold air. However, he knows that the person he loves is in a relationship with someone else, and he regrets asking her to come with him. Despite this, he asks her to accompany him just one more time, to be close to him like they used to be. He wants her to follow his foolish love until the setting sun, and to see the sunset together on the beach.
The song captures the emotions of unrequited love and the longing for a relationship that may never be. The singer knows that the person he loves will never be his, but he still wants to spend time with her, just to be close and to feel the warmth of her presence. The song is bittersweet, filled with a sense of longing and sadness, but also with a sense of hope and the beauty of the moment.
The lyrics are accompanied by a slow, melodic tune that captures the melancholic but romantic mood of the song. The music is simple and haunting, with a repeating melody that echoes the singer's longing and desire. The song is a beautiful expression of love and the power of human connection, even in the face of heartbreak and loss.

Bagaimanapun juga ku ingin
No matter what, I want to
Ke laut di musim dingin
Go to the ocean in winter
Turun dari dalam bis yang kosong
Get off from an empty bus
Di tengah udara yang dingin
In the midst of cold air
Kopi kaleng dari vending machine
Canned coffee from a vending machine
Ku masukkan dalam saku
I put it in my pocket
Menggandeng tangan dan menghangatkan
Holding hands and staying warm
Dunia tanpa siapapun
A world with no one else
Walau ku tahu sekarang
Although I know now
Kamu pacarnya dia
You are his girlfriend
Maafkan aku telah
I'm sorry that I
Mengajak kamu ke sini
Invited you here
Kamu cukup menemani saja
Just being with you is enough
Di sampingku menjadi orang terdekat
Being the closest person next to me
Sama seperti dahulu tanpa berubah
Just like before, without change
Untuk terakhir kalinya
For the last time
Ikutilah cintaku yang konyol ini
Follow my foolish love
Sampai mentari terbenam nanti
Until the sun sets
Kamu menemaniku tanpa ada penolakkan
You accompany me without refusal
Hari ini bagiku adalah momen abadi
Today is an eternal moment for me
Di pasir pantai yg kurindukan ini
On the sandy beach that I miss
Ayo lihat mentari senja bersama
Let's watch the sunset together
Berdua ‘tuk hari ini
Just the two of us today
Jika esok tiba semua kembali
If tomorrow comes, everything goes back
Dan menjadi tiga orang teman
And we become three friends
