Demikianlah
Melly Goeslaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yang berhati penuh cinta dan rindu
Sejenak kemudian saling benci
Keangkuhan datang
Bisakah kau bayangkan
Anak dara menari
Diiringi penyair cinta
Asmara yang membara
Kan dahaga di kegersangan rindu
Laksana ku yang ratu
Kau yang raja
Terbaring lupa terbangun
Demikianlah hidup
Slalu membimbing manis
Tapi terkadang terluka
Lihatlah para insan
Yang berhati penuh cinta dan rindu
Sejenak kemudian saling benci
Keangkuhan datang
Bisakah kau bayangkan
Anak dara menari
Diiringi penyair cinta
Demikianlah hidup
Slalu membimbing manis
Tapi terkadang terluka
The lyrics of Melly Goeslaw's song Demikianlah reflect on the fleeting and uncertain nature of life and love. The song begins with a plea to observe the people around us, who may seem full of love and longing at one moment, only to turn hostile towards each other the next. The root cause of this sudden shift in demeanor is often arrogance or pride, which can quickly sour even the strongest of relationships.
The next verse urges listeners to imagine a young woman dancing to the tunes of a love poet, fanning the flames of an intense passion that will eventually leave her hungering for more. The lines "Laksana ku yang ratu/Kau yang raja/Terbaring lupa terbangun" evoke a sense of imbalance in this relationship, where one partner has power over the other, leading to a state of forgetfulness and disillusionment.
Overall, the lyrics of Demikianlah point to the fact that life is a constant journey of sweet and bitter experiences, where love and joy may be tempered by sadness and pain. The song serves as a reminder to cherish and appreciate the fleeting moments of happiness that we often take for granted, as they can disappear in an instant.

Lihatlah para insan
Observe the people
Yang berhati penuh cinta dan rindu
Who have hearts full of love and longing
Sejenak kemudian saling benci
But who, in a moment, turn against each other
Keangkuhan datang
Pride sets in
Bisakah kau bayangkan
Can you imagine
Anak dara menari
A young girl dancing
Diiringi penyair cinta
Followed by a love poet
Asmara yang membara
A burning love
Kan dahaga di kegersangan rindu
Will thirst in the parchedness of longing
Laksana ku yang ratu
Like I am the queen
Kau yang raja
You are the king
Terbaring lupa terbangun
Lying down, forgotten, awakened
Demikianlah hidup
Such is life
Slalu membimbing manis
Always guiding us with sweetness
Tapi terkadang terluka
But sometimes, it hurts us
