The meaning of ‘Dua Empat’ is the number twenty four, which is their first date (or jadian in the Indonesian slang). A tradition where couples made the relationship an official one and since been going strong. It was the night before Christmas where Alvin decided to confess his feeling for Misi.

Dua Empat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And eyes, at least try to focus when I'm talking to him
Oh, is it that hard? Or do I bore him dear?
Why is it so hard to love me?
Well, he may get easily distracted
But it doesn't mean he don't listen to you, girl
Oh it isn't that hard, I'm sure you don't bore him, dear
Don't defend him (I don't defend him, I'm on your side)
I'm getting tired, why does he have to be so different with me?
Don't hesitate (I don't hesitate, it's called thinking)
Then better stop doing it
Why do you have to complicate all things?
Okay, I might sometimes complicate some things
(Well, you might sometimes complicate things a lot)
But, it's not something I could control on my own
Oh please understand, won't you please at least try?
Look and listen if you love him
Ears, I need him listen to what I say
And eyes, at least try to focus when I'm talking to him
Oh, is it that hard? Or do I bore him dear?
Why is it so hard to love me?
Oh well, he might get easily distracted
But, it doesn't mean he don't listen to you, dear
It isn't that hard, I'm sure you don't bore him, girl
Why is it so hard to trust him?
Don't defend him (I don't defend him, I'm on your side, girl)
I'm getting tired (uh-uh)
Why does he have to be so different with me?
Don't hesitate (I don't hesitate, it's called smart)
Then better stop doing it
Why do you have to complicate all things?
Okay, I might sometimes complicate some things
(You complicate some things a lot)
But, it's not something I could control on my own (here we start again)
Oh please understand, won't you please at least try?
Look and listen if you love me
Look and listen if you love me (yeah, come on girl, you gotta try)
Look and listen if you love him
The lyrics of Dua Empat's song Piccadilly convey a conversation between two people, with one person expressing their frustration and insecurities in a relationship. The singer is asking the other person to listen to them, and to try to focus when they are talking. They wonder if they bore the other person, and why it is so difficult to be loved and trusted. The other person tries to reassure them, saying that they do listen, but they get easily distracted. The first person continues to express their frustration, feeling like the other person is different with them and that they complicate things. However, they acknowledge that they might also be contributing to the problem.
