Kereta Pulang
Pijar Lyrics

The lyrics to Pijar's song "Kereta Pulang" tells a story of a person who is returning home to their hometown after a long time away. It is expressed through the simple desire to fulfill the deep yearning and longing that the singer experiences in their heart. When the singer boards the train to make their journey, they travel alone, lost in their thoughts and memories, remembering their home, their father who awaits them, and their mother who loves them unconditionally.

Once they reach their destination, they encounter a woman who appears to be sad and melancholic. The woman looks at the singer with a heavy heart, as if she wants to hold them and never let them go. The woman begins to talk about her daughter, who has passed away due to an incurable disease. The daughter, it is revealed, bears a striking resemblance to the singer, leading the music to suggest that perhaps the singer may have been a long-lost sibling or a child of the same father. The song culminates in the realization and reconciliation of the singer with their hometown and family while also illuminating the broader issues of loss, grief, and also the beauty of cultural origin.

Overall, "Kereta Pulang" is a reflective and emotional depiction of the yearning for home, and the unbreakable bond of family, all through the perspective of the singer's personal journey.
