Pusara
Bin Idris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kita terus berkarya
Sampai akhirnya habis tak berdaya
Kita terus bergerak
Kita terus beranjak
Sampai akhirnya tak mampu lagi mengelak
Kita terus bermimpi
Kita terus menggali
Sampai akhirnya terbenam tak kembali
Kita terus berjuang
Kita terus mendulang
Sampai akhirnya hilang dan berpulang
Oh pusara... Oh pusara... Oh pusara...
Semua yang engkau genggam
Biarpun erat kelak kan lolos dari cengraman
Pudar menghilang entah kemana perginya
Semua yang engkau cinta
Kelak kan sirna dan kan menunda menjadi visi
Dan yang berima di sudut hening kepala
Semua yang engkau bangun
Kelak kan runtuh diterpa derasnya habis waktu
Dan kan terurai menjadi peradaban yang baru
The lyrics of Bin Idris's song Pusara convey the idea that we keep working and creating, constantly moving forward until we reach a point where we've exhausted all our energy and can no longer resist the end or death. We continue to dream and dig deep until we reach a point of no return, where we must face our inevitable fate, the grave. The repetition of the phrase 'Oh pusara' (oh grave, in English) serves as a reminder of this fate, that no matter how hard we try, we will all inevitably return to the earth.
The second verse talks about how everything we hold onto will eventually slip through our fingers and fade away. The things we love and cherish will all be lost and become only memories. Everything we build will eventually crumble and dissolve into new civilizations. The song is an ode to the temporary nature of life and serves to remind us to cherish every moment and make the most of our time.
Overall, the lyrics of Pusara are touching and poignant, reflecting on the nature of life and death and the inevitability of our mortality. It is a reminder that our time on this earth is short and that we should strive to leave a positive impact.
