Melangkah
Raisa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kisah cinta abadi bersamamu
Ternyata semua berakhir
Tak seperti yang ku harapkan
Baru ku mengerti ku sadari
Oh ku tak sendiri
Pancaran sinar mentari Menemani tiada henti
Oh dan tak ku sesali
Tlah ku lupakan dirimu
Tak mengapa, aku melangkah
Sendiri dapat ku jalani
Ternyata semua berakhir
Tak seperti yang ku harapkan
Baru ku mengerti ku sadari
Oh ku tak sendiri
Pancaran sinar mentari
Menemani tiada henti
Pernah ku terhanyut dalam sepi
Namun ku berani melangkah pasti
Tanpa dirimu
Oh ku tak sendiri
Pancaran sinar mentari
Menemani tiada henti
Oh ku tak sendiri
Pancaran sinar mentari
Menemani tiada henti
Sendiri dapat ku jalani
Sendiri dapat ku jalani
In Raisa's song "Melangkah", she talks about a relationship that she once thought would be eternal. She dreamed of a love story that would last forever, but in reality, it all came to an end. This person that she once loved and thought she would be with forever is no longer with her, and she realizes that it's not what she hoped for. It's through this realization that she understands that she's not alone. She's accompanied by the ever-radiant sunshine, which shines on without stopping.
While she doesn't regret forgetting about this person, she knows that she can walk forward on her own. She may have been lost in loneliness before, but now she's brave enough to take a step towards the future without this person. The sunshine that accompanies her is a reminder that even in the toughest times, there's still beauty and light to be found.
This song is about the end of a relationship and the strength that we find in ourselves when we are left alone. While the end of any relationship can be difficult, Raisa reminds us that we can still find warmth in the ever-present sunshine and that we can move forward on our own.
