Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yang s'lalu kau hitung hari dan waktu
Ku tak peduli sampai kapan
Kau lakukan itu
Tapi biarlah cinta kita hanya
Menjadi cerita kita nanti
Walau seakan ingin kulupakan
Biarkanlah dan ikuti langkah di hari ini
Lupakanlah kejadian dulu itu itu saja
Hei wanitaku aku disini tak akan lari
Ku mau dirimu percaya padaku
Bertahanlah seakan kita hidup untuk s'lamanya
Tapi biarlah cinta kita hanya
Menjadi cerita kita nanti
Walau seakan ingin ku lupakan
Biarkanlah dan ikuti langkah di hari ini
Lupakanlah kejadian dulu itu-itu saja
Aw-wow
Tapi biarlah cinta kita hanya
Menjadi cerita kita nanti
Walau seakan ingin ku lupakan
Biarkanlah dan ikuti langkah di hari ini
Lupakanlah kejadian dulu itu-itu saja
Aw-wow
Biarkanlah dan ikuti langkah di hari ini
Lupakanlah kejadian dulu itu itu saja
Aw-aw yeah
The song "Ikuti Langkah" by Gugun Blues Shelter talks about living life together with someone and ignoring the fact that time is counting down. The singer proclaims that he doesn't care for how long they can be together because he wants to enjoy the moment they have. However, he understands that their love story might not last forever and acknowledges the possibility of wanting to forget the memories they have made. The chorus reassures his partner that he is there to stay, and they should forget about the past and focus on the present.
The song conveys an optimistic message about cherishing the present and going with the flow instead of worrying about the future. The lyrics are a reminder that love stories don't always last forever, but the memories will always be there to keep. The line "biarkanlah dan ikuti langkah di hari ini" (let go and follow the step of today) emphasizes living in the moment and making the most of it.
