Lean Back
Tough Rhymes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ditambah lagi judi.
Masih saja abang tergoda janda kembang.
... Tak sudi. Ku tak sudi...
Banyak buktiya suami mabuk janda.
Lupa kasih sayang... juga tak pulang pulang
Istri di sengsarakan...
Lara hati... Aduh lara hati...
Kembali @ - *
Bang...
Ku tak rela. bila cintaku di bagi dua.
Bang...
Ku tak sudi. bila abang mau kawin lagi.
Judi dan minuman... masih ku maafkan
Tapi mabuk janda. aku tak terima...
Lebih baik kita bubaran saja
The lyrics to Tough Rhymes's song Lean Back are a bleak portrayal of a woman's struggle in a toxic and abusive relationship. The singer starts by talking about her partner's excessive alcohol consumption, and his constant temptation towards a younger woman. The woman in the relationship is suffering silently as her partner is negligent and has stopped showing her any love and care. The singer concludes the first stanza by saying that she cannot tolerate this anymore.
The second stanza begins with the woman expressing her helplessness and troubling thoughts. She is still in love with her partner, but the fact that he is cheating on her pushes her towards sadness and despair. Her partner's constant absence and neglect have left her feeling abandoned and alone. The woman is sleepless, and her feelings of loneliness and sorrow are so overwhelming that she cannot contain them.
The chorus is a reflection of the woman's emotions and her unwillingness to share her partner with anyone else. She does not want to see her partner get married again, and she cannot tolerate the fact that he is involved with another woman. However, she is willing to ignore his addiction to gambling and alcohol, as she believes that these are better than being with another woman.
