Rossa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rasa cinta yang ada untuk dirimu
Kulelah dengan semua yang ada
Inginku lepas semua
Setan dalam hati ikut bicara
Bagaimana kalau kuselingkuh saja
Kupunya banyak teman lelaki
Mestinya kau cari pengganti diriku saja
Karena kita sudah tak saling bicara
Pastikan cerita tentang kita yang telah lalu
Hanya ada dalam ingatan hatimu
Maafkan aku jika kau kecewa
Bintangmu bukanlah untuk diriku
Jika memang semua kan jadi cerita
Kutahu kau semakin terluka
Kurasakan pudar dalam hatiku
Rasa cinta yang ada untuk dirimu
Kulelah dengan semua yang ada
Inginku lepas semua
Setan dalam hati ikut bicara
Bagaimana kalau kuselingkuh saja
Kupunya banyak teman lelaki
Sepertinya kukan bahagia
The lyrics of Rossa's song "Pudar" tell the story of a relationship that has lost its spark. The singer expresses a feeling of fading love in their heart and a desire to let go of everything. The thought of cheating enters their mind, as the devil whispers in their ear, tempting them to have an affair. The singer has many male friends and feels as though she would be happier with them. However, she acknowledges that it is time to move on from the past, as her and her partner no longer communicate. She wants her partner to find someone else who can replace her, and she hopes that their memories together will only remain in their hearts.
The lyrics are poignant and speak to the difficult decision of letting go of a relationship that no longer makes us happy. The devil, representing temptation, is something that we all experience and have to battle against. The lyrics suggest that even though we might be tempted to stray, it is important to consider the impact our actions will have on others.
