Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Menggoda perut yang kosong namun terisi angin
Yang aku ingin cepat mengambil piring
Tapi rasa kantukku menginginkan yang lain
Terasa alapar dan ngantuk kini menjadi satu
Tapi mataku memerah gerakku jadi kaku
Dan terdengar suara keroncongan menggebu gebu
Tidur tiduran dikamar sambil memeluk guling
Tapi rasa lapar membuatku terpusing pusing
Ada emping gado gado dan sepiring nasi
Mari ke meja makan mengisi perut ini
Laparnya trasa kelaparan terasa lapar benar
Suara keroncongan diperutpun masih terdengar
Ada es krim gado gado emping
Menggoda perut yang kosong namun terisi angin
Na na na
Makanan makan di meja kulahap dan kumakan
Satu persatu kupegang kukunyah dan kutelan
Semua kuhabiskan (es krim gado gado emping)
Tak ada yang tersisa kukunyah kutelan habis puas rasanya
Sekarang kusudah kenyang trasa kekenyangan
Sampai sampai tubuhku ini tak bisa bergoyang
Kembali masuk kekamar naik keatas kasur
Memeluk guling yang empuk sekarang tidur.
Es krim gado gado emping dan nasi menu hari ini
Es krim gado gado emping dan nasi menu hari ini
Na na na na na na na na
Mari kita istirahat mari kita tidur tiduran
Mari kita istirahat mari kita tidur tiduran
Mari kita istirahat mari kita tidur tiduran
Mari kita istirahat mari kita tidur tiduran
The lyrics of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. OST's song "Menu" depict the experience of intense hunger and the desire to satisfy it. The first paragraph begins with a description of the hunger caused by an empty stomach, yet it is filled with air. The singer expresses a quick desire to grab a plate, but their drowsiness pulls them in another direction. The juxtaposition of hunger and sleepiness creates a conflict within them.
The second paragraph emphasizes the increasing hunger and fatigue, resulting in physical discomfort. The singer's eyes become red, their movements stiffen, and their stomach growls loudly. They express their frustration with an exclamation that resembles the sound of a rumbling stomach. These sensations intensify the urge to find something to eat.
In the third paragraph, the singer describes their attempt to alleviate their hunger by lying down in bed and hugging a pillow. However, the hunger persists and overwhelms them, causing confusion. They mention the presence of emping gado-gado (a type of Indonesian chip) and a plate of rice, inviting themselves to the dining table to fill their empty stomach. The repetition of the phrases emphasizes the persistency of hunger and the urgency to satisfy it.
The fourth paragraph reveals the resolution of the hunger. The singer conveys their satisfaction and contentment after finishing their meal, gradually reaching a state of fullness. As a result, their body becomes unable to move or dance. They return to their room, climb onto the bed, and comfortably embrace the soft pillow, finally ready to sleep.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the theme of hunger and the subsequent longing for rest. The lyrics encourage rest and relaxation, emphasizing the importance of taking a break after satisfying one's hunger with a fulfilling meal. The repetition also serves as a reminder that rest and sleep are essential to rejuvenation and well-being.

The theme is so bleak and depressing, really captures that sense of loneliness.
Until you hear it after dying for the 300th time, it then sounds like a sarcastic sad violin mocking you

That's why you spam that quickload hotkey brother :))

One of the most haunting, atmospheric, theme music from a PC game ever. And may the zone take me if i'm lying.
