Benalu
Figura Renata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
kelabu asap pabrik senja ku tak seindah dulu kala
warna-warna biru terhempas
kelabu asap hutan langit ku tak seindah dulu kala
uuu uuu uuuuu
semua yang kau andalkan telah menjadi serpihan
jiwa-jiwa terasuki
untung di depan mata
menyingkirkan jiwa lainnya
uuu uuu uuu uuuu
sadarkah kau benalu
sudah
sudah
hentikan
sudah
sudah
hentikan
sadarkah kau benalu
dan hentikan yang kau lakukan
sadarkah kau benalu
dan hentikan yang kau lakukan
sadarkah kau benalu
dan hentikan yang kau lakukan
sadarkah kau benalu
dan hentikan yang kau lakukan
sadarkah kau benalu
dan hentikan yang kau lakukan
sadarkah kau benalu
dan hentikan yang kau lakukan
sudah
sudah hentikan

In Figura Renata's song "Benalu", the lyrics describe the destruction and degradation of the environment. The colors of the sky that used to be beautiful have been replaced by gray smoke from factories and forests. The second verse implies that the city's lungs, which are the homes and natural habitats of living beings, have been destroyed, and only those with money and power have been able to protect themselves from the destruction. The bridge speaks directly to the "benalu" or parasitic plant that feeds off the life of another, asking it to become aware of its actions and to stop.

The lyrics not only point out the problem but also urge people to take action and to stop the destruction before it is too late. The song has a strong message that resonates with many people who care about the environment and recognizes the need to take responsibility for the damage caused by human activity.
