Ketika
Gribs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ketika mawar mulai merekah
Semerbakkan wanginya ke langit
Tersinari matahari setelah
Tertidur dalam kekosongan.yeah.
Ketika mahkotanya berguguran
Dan tak satupun yg memahami
Terlupakan di tengah keramaian
Tak ada harapan tuk tumbuh kembali
Ketika mawar mulai merekah
Semerbakkan wanginya ke langit
Tersinari matahari setelah
Tertidur dalam kekosongan
Ketika mahkotanya berguguran
Dan tak satupun yang memahami
Terlupakan di tengah keramaian
Tak ada harapan tuk tumbuh kembali
(Interlude)
(Saat malam ku sendiri)
Terduduk di sini.merenungkan yang pernah terjadi
(Saat malam ku sendiri)




Terduduk di sini.merenungkan yang pernah terjadi
Yeah.yeah.yeah.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of GRIBS's song Ketika speak about the fleeting nature of beauty and how even the most beautiful things can wither away and be forgotten. The song describes the moment when a rose starts to bloom and release its fragrance into the air, becoming a beautiful sight that is admired by all. However, as time passes, the rose sheds its petals and its crown falls off, leaving it forgotten amongst the crowd. The song suggests that no one understands the beauty of the rose and that there is no hope for it to bloom again.


The phrase "Tertidur dalam kekosongan" or "sleeping in emptiness" is a metaphor that highlights how even the most beautiful things can become lost and insignificant over time. The repetition of the verse and chorus emphasizes the idea that beauty is fleeting and can easily be forgotten. The interlude provides a moment of contemplation as the singer reflects on what has happened and what has been lost. The phrase "Saat malam ku sendiri" or "when I am alone at night" adds a personal touch, suggesting that the singer has experienced the same loss and is now pondering over it.
