Wajah Fana
Pijar Lyrics

The lyrics of Pijar's song "Wajah Fana" speak of the various aspects of life, love, and the transience of it all. The first line 'cinta, melintasi jalan yang panjang dan tak bertapak ini' or 'love, traversing this long and unpaved path' alludes to the path that love takes and the unpredictable nature of it. The next line 'hidup adalah imaji melingkari waktu tak akan pernah bertemu' translates to 'life is an image circling time that will never meet' and suggests the idea that life is fleeting and elusive.

The following lines 'dunia, ku hentakkan kaki ketanah untuk dia yang fana, melihat seisi bumi bagai telah hilang' or 'world, I stamp my feet on the ground for that which is transient, seeing the entire earth as though it has disappeared' reflects on the transient nature of life and how it can make the entire world feel lost and disconnected. The chorus 'tatap mata wajah fana dan oooh, perlahan tenggelam dan menghilang' which translates to 'gaze into the face of the transient, and slowly sink and vanish' furthers this idea of life being transient and momentary. The last few lines 'datang dan dia pun pergi dan diapun datang dan diapun pergi' or 'coming and then leaving, and then coming and then leaving' reflects on the cycle of life and death, and how it is just an endless succession of arrivals and departures.
