“Saya bukan Si Kreatif dalam membuat suatu karya. Lagu-lagu yang saya sajikan disini hanya berpegang pada kesederhanaan dan ketulusan. Karena dua hal itu yang menurut saya memberi kehidupan pada suatu atau banyak karya” tutur Dini.

Setelah merilis videoklip “Mistress” pada tahun 2010 akhirnya DINI akan membawakan 12 lagu ciptaannya yang terangkum dalam bentuk full-length yang dikerjakan selama dua tahun. Nuansa gelap dari harmoni akustik sederhana yang bercampur vokal tipis yang dalam dan berkarakter akan dihadirkan DINI di acara Album Release-nya di Marley Bar, Jakarta. Ia optimis karyanya akan mendapat perhatian karena atmosfer lagu-lagunya yang menangkan dan dapat menemani perjalanan di sore hari.

Lewat malam yang akan dihadiri keluarga, para sahabat dan penikmat karyanya itu ia berharap dapat merangkul pendengar yang lebih luas, dan berbagi sudut pandang dengan lebih banyak orang tentang hal-hal yang ia lihat, dengar dan rasakan.

Mistress
Dini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm stoned
I'm a lie
And I'm addicted
I'm done and I'm away
From those lies behind me
Just whisper
Either something to be told
Cause now

I entering in the rain
Screaming in my pain
Freezing and I'm dead
So stop saying my name
Holding in my bed
Falling in my trees
Vanishing in time
Like a miss into the dark
I'm gone
And I'm a mistress
Is not a mystery
I'm sad but I'm alright
Just whisper
Either something to be told
Cause now
I entering in the rain
Screaming in my pain
Freezing and I"m dead
So stop saying my name
Holding in my bed
Falling in my trees
Vanishing in time
Like a miss into the dark
Uhh uhhh
Haaa haaa
I'm stoned I'm a lie and addicted
I'm so done I'm so done
I'm bout have a mistress
It's not a mystery as it go in
It chokes me
It judges me

I'm sung last
I'm a lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dini's song "Mistress" seem to describe a person who is struggling with addiction and the consequences it brings. The person admits to being "stoned" and a "lie", and also uses the word "mistress" which could be interpreted to mean that they have a secret they are keeping, perhaps related to their addiction. They are experiencing pain and feel like they are disappearing into the darkness, yet they are still holding onto a sense of hope, as they ask for someone to whisper something to them. It is unclear whether this whisper is meant to be comforting or revealing, but it suggests that the person is longing for some sort of connection or clarity amidst their struggles.

The repetition of the phrases "entering in the rain", "screaming in my pain", and "freezing and I'm dead" creates a sense of despair and loneliness. The person seems to be trapped in their own private agony, but they are also aware that their addiction is causing harm to others, as they ask people to "stop saying my name" and hold themselves in their bed. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of isolation and struggle, while also hinting at a deeper desire for connection and understanding.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm stoned
I'm under the influence of drugs

I'm a lie
I'm not truthful about who I really am

And I'm addicted
I have a strong dependency on something

I'm done and I'm away
I have finished with someone or something and moved on

From those lies behind me
I have left behind the deceitful things in my past

Just whisper
Speak softly to me

Either something to be told
Either you have something important to say or I have something important to share

Cause now I entering in the rain
Because I am now entering a difficult or melancholic time in my life

Screaming in my pain
I'm expressing my agony loudly

Freezing and I'm dead
I feel paralyzed and numb

So stop saying my name
Stop trying to get my attention or involving me in things I don't want to be involved in
