Jamrud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nanti malam kita mojok di sofa
Setelah langit gelap, dandan habis
Semprot kiri, semprot kanan, lenzo pun kering
Di halaman rumahmu nongkrong mercy
Gonjang-ganjing rada janggal, kujadi panik
Sambil tiarap dekati mobil
Aku terkejut, sumpah terkejut
Kau dan dia saling raba di kursi belakang
Aku cemburu, aku tertipu
Kau malah makin semangat, kencan dengan sejenismu
Aku lari tanpa pamit
Entah marah, atau malah simpatik
Masih tak habis pikir yang terjadi
Untuk gaya atau memang ada yang lain
Aku terkejut, sumpah terkejut
Kau dan dia saling raba di kursi belakang
Aku cemburu, aku tertipu
Kau malah makin semangat, kencan dengan sejenismu
Aku terkejut, sumpah terkejut
Kau dan dia saling raba di kursi belakang
Aku cemburu, aku tertipu
Kau malah makin semangat, kencan dengan sejenismu
The lyrics of Jamrud's song Gaya tells the story of a person who made plans to meet up with their lover on a Saturday morning and spend the night together on the sofa. After the sky turned dark, they got ready and sprayed perfume all over themselves. As the person arrived at their lover's house, they noticed that their lover's car was parked out in the front yard, where they sat down while feeling a bit awkward. However, while checking out their lover's car, they saw their lover and another person touching each other on the back seat, which made them shocked and jealous. They ran away without saying goodbye or knowing what had really happened.
The song seems to describe a story of a person who is frustrated and confused about their romantic relationship. They thought they had plans with their lover, only to find out that their lover was with someone else. The person feels betrayed and suspicious of their lover, wondering if their lover is just putting on a show for them, or if their lover really has feelings for someone else. The song's title, "Gaya," which translates to "style" in English, implies that the story is about the surface-level appearances of a romantic relationship, rather than its genuine feelings.
