Pesona
Figura Renata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Memutuskan 'tuk menyimpulkan lewat bencana
Kanan kiri menghampiri tubuh
Dalam merintih, diam dan meringkuk
Tertawa menangis beradu pada kalbu
Dalam merintih, diam meringkuk
Berpaling memahami, mengais perih
Ooh
Lalu bermain tunjuk
Sahut dia benar, sahut yang lain kelam
Sahut dia kejam, sahut dia geram
Mereka, bukan kita
(Bukan kita)
Bukan kita
Bukan kita
Bukan kita
Bukan kita
Ah, ah, oh-oh
Ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, oh-oh
Ah, ah, oh-oh
Ah, ah, oh-oh
Ah, ah, oh
Ah, ah, oh-oh
Ah, ah, oh-oh
Bukan kita
Bukan kita
Bukan kita
Bukan kita
Bukan kita
Bukan kita (kita semua terpikat, dengan tangan terikat)
Bukan kita (semua raut yang pucat, pada malam yang pekat)
(Kita semua terpikat) ah, ah, oh-oh
(Dengan tangan terikat) ah, ah, oh-oh
The lyrics to Figura Renata's song Pesona explore the emotions and struggles that arise when faced with adversity. The opening lines speak of a "red thread" being severed through disaster, signaling a turning point where everything becomes chaotic and individuals are besieged with troubles from all sides. The following lines describe an individual's reaction to this turmoil - they curl up in agony, laughing and crying at the same time, alternating between feeling overwhelmed and powerless to cope. The final lines express a sense of frustration and anger towards those who aren't experiencing this struggle, declaring "they" are not like "us".
Throughout the song, there are clear indications that the singer is grappling with feelings of isolation and marginalization. In the chorus, they repeat "Bukan kita" - "not us" - as if attempting to draw a line between themselves and others who are not having the same experience. The bridge seems to suggest that everyone is "bound" in some way, unable to escape the struggles they face despite how they differ from one another. The overall tone of the song is one of pain, confusion, and the search for meaning in chaos.

Memutuskan 'tuk menyimpulkan lewat bencana
Decides to conclude through disasters
Kanan kiri menghampiri tubuh
Left and right approaching the body
Dalam merintih, diam dan meringkuk
In groaning, silent and curled up
Tertawa menangis beradu pada kalbu
Laughing and crying colliding with the heart
Dalam merintih, diam meringkuk
In groaning, silent and curled up
Berpaling memahami, mengais perih
Turning to understand, fetching the pain
Ooh
Ooh
Lalu bermain tunjuk
Then pointing fingers
Sahut dia benar, sahut yang lain kelam
He approves, others respond darkly
Sahut dia kejam, sahut dia geram
He responds cruelly, he responds angrily

(With our hands tied) ah, ah, oh-oh
