Ephemeral
Sandrayati Fay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Memburu lini hingga di kehampaan
Ombak meraung menjelma gunung
Namun karang kering ingin sendiri
Kala kebeneran milik kuasa
Semua terbungkam
Lidah takut tak bernyawa
Namun sunyi jadinya
Ketika manusia terbisu oleh keadaan
Malaikat tak lagi datang
Suara hilang
Dan abadi
Tuan-tuan besar
Tuntut kami hingga kami tunduk
Pancing kami hingga dibudak cacing
Kupas rahang kami jika kalian mau
Darah merindu tubuh
Hingga mencium tanah
Sukma ku lumpuh
Batas tak lagi
tampak
Tuan-tuan
berdiri melonggarkan celana
Memanja perut tambun
Penuh mereka yang tak bernama
Aksara merebah dalam secarik kertas
Tak bergerak
Hanya diam
Tertodong
Cacing - cacing peliharaan tuan
Kami ada
Maka
Suara akan menjelma aksara
Dan semua
Akan berakhir disana
The song "Ephemeral" by Sandrayati Fay portrays a sense of fleetingness and impermanence through its lyrics. The first verse talks about chasing an elusive goal until it leads to emptiness, likening the crashing waves to mountains and the dry rocks to seeking solitude. The second verse describes the helplessness and silence that ensues when humans are silenced by their circumstances and the angels no longer appear. The third verse portrays the oppression of the powerful, who demand submission and obedience, reducing their subordinates to nothing more than worms. The last verse speaks of a final ending, where voices turn into script, and everything ends there.
The lyrics of this song offer an insightful, introspective look into the human experience, showcasing our struggles and setbacks, as well as the futility of resistance in the face of greater powers. It is a reminder to cherish every moment, to live life to the fullest, as all things come to an end eventually.

Mati hinggap perlahan
Death arrives slowly
Memburu lini hingga di kehampaan
Chasing lines until emptiness
Ombak meraung menjelma gunung
Roaring waves become mountains
Namun karang kering ingin sendiri
Yet dry corals want to be alone
Kala kebeneran milik kuasa
When fate belongs to a higher power
Semua terbungkam
All becomes silent
Lidah takut tak bernyawa
Fearful tongue, lifeless
Jerit mencoba
Attempt to scream
Namun sunyi jadinya
But silence prevails
Ketika manusia terbisu oleh keadaan
When humans are speechless by circumstances
Malaikat tak lagi datang
Angels no longer come
Suara hilang
Voices disappear
Dan abadi
And eternity
Tuan-tuan besar
Mighty lords
Tuntut kami hingga kami tunduk
Demanding us until we submit
Pancing kami hingga dibudak cacing
Luring us until we become worm slaves
Kupas rahang kami jika kalian mau
Peel off our jaws if you wish
Darah merindu tubuh
Blood yearns for the body
Hingga mencium tanah
Until it kisses the ground
Sukma ku lumpuh
My soul is paralyzed
Batas tak lagi tampak
Boundaries no longer visible
Tuan-tuan berdiri melonggarkan celana
Lords standing loosening their pants
Memanja perut tambun
Pampering their big bellies
Penuh mereka yang tak bernama
Full with the unnamed ones
Aksara merebah dalam secarik kertas
Letters lying on a piece of paper
Tak bergerak
Not moving
Hanya diam
Only silence
Tertodong
Pointing
Cacing-cacing peliharaan tuan
The lords' pet worms
Kami ada
We exist
Maka suara akan menjelma aksara
Then, the voice will become letters
Dan semua akan berakhir disana
And everything will end there

Siapa dia si wanita itu....
Duduk bercumbu dengan gitar....
Yang orgasme bukan keduanya....
Melainkan wajah anantatoer dan burung burung di sekitarnya...
Pepohonan juga...
Desir angin juga...
Gemercik air juga barangkali...
Sampai wanita itu menghela nafas...
Hai kawan, aku sedang di sorga.

Will I ever learn to let go of
Painted illusions that I live in?
Pretending to know
What I look like, where I've been
Oh, body, voices, beauty
I forgot to listen
Oh, the corrections in the lessons
That I exist
Oh realization
That breath is my only gift
Will I ever learn to let go of
Watching the sunrise on the end, the end sea
And her scent behind the Appalachian spine
I'm learning hope is on my inside
And I realize I'm only here for a little while
Only here
Only here for a little while
Will I ever learn to let go of
The sweet touch
Of my love?
Intimacy is art
Ocean of trust
Moving free
Oh, we're only here
Only here for a little while
I was here
From the moment of beginning
Here I am still
I shall remain
In the waves of songs in the wind
And when i die
I am open
We're only here
Only here
For a little while
A little while
For a little while
