Biography
Formed in 2017, Knuckle Bones consisted of four members; they are Raka (Guitars), Revi (Vocals), Riki (Bass) and Michy (Drums). This modern rock/melodic metalcore band came from South Jakarta. The ambience they add fits perfectly in their heavy music; even darker with the emotional lyrics.
Strata
Knuckle Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tertutupnya mata untuk merubah semua yang tak sejalan
Semua yang tak terjawab
Tidakkah hatimu pilu melihat derai air mata mereka?
Letih ku mendengar suara teduh tak bermakna
Terdengar jelas tangisan mereka
Sisi batin yang terlihat terpendam
Membuatmu berlari pergi
Tak akan terlihat
Tak akan terdengar
Tak akan terasa
Sangatlah percuma
Tidakkah hatimu pilu melihat derai air mata mereka?
Letih ku mendengar suara teduh tak bermakna
These lyrics are from the song Strata by Knuckle Bones. The song talks about the importance of justice and the devastating consequences of ignoring the suffering around us. The first verse talks about how a troubled heart can prevent someone from seeking justice, and how turning a blind eye to injustice only perpetuates the problems. It's emphasized that unanswered questions only create more heartache and pain.
The chorus asks whether one's heart is not moved by the tears of those who suffer. The singer is tired of hearing meaningless words that do nothing to help people in need. The second verse highlights the disparity between what is seen on the surface and what is going on inside. The song ends powerfully by saying that ignoring injustice is pointless.
In summary, the song Strata is a call for empathy and action towards those who suffer. It asserts that turning a blind eye to injustice only perpetuates it, and that we should pay attention to the pain and tears of others.
