Sempat tidak aktif selama beberapa bulan belakangan, karena saat ini mereka sedang menyiapkan studio album kedua yang akan diberi judul ‘cyber superstar’. Recording, Mixing dan Mastering telah selesai, hingga saat ini proses pembuatan album kedua mereka sedang memasuki tahap design dan penggandaan.
Pemilihan judul album ini bukan tanpa alasan. Fenomena youtube sebagai salah satu media yang sanggup menjadikan orang biasa menjadi superstar di jagad maya (cyber superstar) dan kebutuhan mendasar manusia atas pengakuan jati diri di lingkungan sosial tempat ia berinteraksi, menjadi alasan utama tema ini dipilih.
Agar cover yang dirilis sejalan dengan tema yang diusung sekaligus memiliki ikatan emosional dengan pendengarnya, maka stereomantic akan membuat cover berupa kolase foto-foto pendengarnya yang bergaya di depan webcam a la ‘youtube superstar’ dan meminta mereka mengirimkan foto tersebut, tanpa proses seleksi (selain seleksi SARA dan PORNOGRAFI), sebagai bagian dari cover stereomantic.
I Can't Marry You
Stereomantic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eye contact ordinary.
Life is a fool that's all I see.
A maid you serve.
You give something more than I would ask.
True love seems to me on best.
Romance tends to be so fast why can't you see?
Can't marry you.
Can't marry you.
I can't marry you.
The lyrics of Stereomantic's song, "I Can't Marry You," are potentially emotional and thought-provoking. The first line, "All my life is strengthened thanks to me," suggests that the person singing these lyrics has always been self-reliant and doesn't require anyone else's assistance. The second line, "Eye contact ordinary," indicates that the singer is used to being alone and doesn't seek out romantic companionship.
The third line, "Life is a fool that's all I see," provides a hint that the singer might have been hurt in the past or might have observed others' heartbreak, since it implies a sense of resignation about the inevitability of hurt in romantic relationships. The fourth line, "A maid you serve," could suggest that the person the singer is singing to (presumably, the person they can't marry) is in a subservient position, or is perhaps a domestic worker.
The chorus, "Can't marry you," repeated three times, is short and impactful in its simplicity. It's clear that the singer is unable or unwilling to commit to the person they're addressing. The line "You give something more than I would ask" suggests that the person being addressed might be too good for the singer, or that they're putting too much effort into the relationship. The line "True love seems to me on best" implies that the singer has high expectations about what "real" love looks like, which the person being addressed might not meet. Finally, "Romance tends to be so fast why can't you see? / You're good to me" could indicate that the person being addressed is moving too quickly in the relationship, or that the singer has commitment issues.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Can't Marry You" are open to interpretation and could mean different things to different listeners. However, the themes of self-reliance, past hurts, high expectations, and commitment issues are all present in the song, making it potentially moving and relatable to many.
