Berjalan kusendiri di tengah hangatnya
Di depan mata
Ramainya suasana kusemakin tergoda
Uh lama ku berjalan
Uh di dalam kehidupan
Senja telah membiru bangkit kan gairah ku
Telah ku ikuti
Perputaran waktu dalam kesendirianku
Uh langit pun menghitam

The lyrics to Gugun Blues Shelter's song "Satu Untuk Berbagi" describe the experience of walking alone in the heart of the city and feeling increasingly drawn to the bustling atmosphere around. The singer has become aware of the dusk and the way it has brought forth a new energy within him. He follows the passage of time in his solitude, as the sky turns black and the darkness seems all-consuming. However, he makes a conscious effort to seek out the light and ignite his passion once more.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of searching and longing for something greater. The repetition of the phrase "lama ku mencari" (I have been searching for so long) highlights the singer's sense of restlessness and yearning. He is searching for a sense of unity or connection, embodied by the phrase "satu untuk berbagi" (one to share with). This may refer to a desire for a romantic partner, or simply a sense of companionship or community. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of hopefulness in the face of loneliness and an unwavering belief in the power of human connection.
