Persimpangan
Fariz RM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Terasa Semakin Hangat
Gejolak Nada Cinta
Mengalun Indah Dalam Hati
Terbayang Kau Disini

Masihkah Kau Ingat Dulu
Masa Kita Memendam Rindu
Cerita Lama Yang

Tak Mungkin Kembali

Kuyakin Kau Menyadari
Semua Tlah Terjadi
Disini Kita Berdiri
Persimpangan Tak Pasti

Jika Memang Seharusnya
Cinta Kita Mesti Berpisah
Mengapa Kau Biarkan
Kita Berjumpa

Setidaknya Kita Mengerti Sudah
Takkan Mungkin Lagi Kita Bersatu

Selamat Tinggal Persimpangan Cinta
Dalam Kenangan Hampa Ini

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fariz RM's song Persimpangan describe the mixed emotions associated with a relationship that has ended. The singer expresses how the feeling of warmth and love still lingers as memories flood his mind. The melody of the song carries a sense of beauty and nostalgia. The lyrics also speak of a past longing for each other, but now acknowledging that the possibility of getting back together is unrealistic. The chorus highlights the uncertainty of their future by using the metaphor of standing at the intersection of life, with no clear direction to take.

Towards the end of the song, the singer asks a crucial question - if their love was supposed to end, then why did they meet again? He ends with a bittersweet farewell to their intersection of love, acknowledging the emptiness of memories with no possibility of a future together.

This song shows Fariz RM's ability to capture the essence of complex emotions in a simple and poetic way. The soft melody, combined with the poignant lyrics, results in a beautiful and melancholic song that speaks to anyone who has been through the ups and downs of love.
