mengadili persepsi
Seringai Lyrics

Individu, individu merdeka
The song emphasizes the value of individual freedom, so it repeats the phrase for emphasis.

Selamat datang di era kemunduran,
The present era is regrettably a time of decline.

Pikiran tertutup jadi andalan.
People rely on closed-mindedness as a crutch or support.

Praduga tumbuh tenteram,
Prejudice flourishes and spreads easily.

Menghakimi sepihak, sebar ketakutan.
These prejudices lead to one-sided judgments and spreading fear.

Membakukan persepsi, bukan jadi jawaban
Imposing perceptions on others isn't a solution or wise idea.

Atau gagasan bijak.
Instead, sharing wise ideas and considering other perspectives is helpful.

Selangkah maju ke depan,
Though progress is made,

Empat langkah ke belakang,
Stepping four times back,

Kita takkan beranjak.
We won't make any progress overall.

Mereka, bermain Tuhan.
People in power act like they're in control of everything.

Merasa benar, menjajah nalar.
They feel right and colonize our minds.

Dan kalau kita membiarkan saja, anak kita berikutnya.
If we let this continue, our next generation will suffer the same fate.

Selamat tinggal, era kemajuan,
The era of progress is long gone.

Lupakan harapan dan kehidupan.
We should forget our hopes and lives now.

Menjauh dari akar masalah,
We should distance ourselves from the root problem.

Mendekatkan kepada kebodohan yang dipertahankan.
Instead, we're holding strong onto ignorance.

Privasi. Seni.
The song calls for privacy and respect for art.

Siapa engkau yang menghakimi?
Who are you to judge?

Masih banyak masalah, dan lebih krusial,
There are still many problems, and they're even more crucial now.

Tidak bicara asal.
We shouldn't just talk without meaning or purpose.

Berikutnya.
The song urges us to think about the next generation and take action now.

Sudahkah merdeka??
Have we truly gained our freedom?

Sudahkah dirimu merdeka??
Have you truly gained your freedom?

Tu wa ga pat!
This final phrase in Indonesian means 'Whatever.'
