Via Vallen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tiga puluh menit kita di sini
Tanpa suara
Dan aku resah harus menunggu lama
Kata darimu

Mungkin butuh kursus merangkai kata
Untuk bicara
Dan aku benci harus menunggu lama

Kata darimu

Jam dinding pun tertawa
Karenaku hanya diam dan membisu
Ingin kumaki diriku sendiri
Yang tak berkutik di depanmu

Ada yang lain di senyummu
Yang membuat lidahku gugup tak bergerak
Ada pelangi di bola matamu
Dan memaksa diri tuk bilang
Aku sayang padamu

Mungkin sabtu nanti kuungkap semua isi di hati
Dan aku benci harus menunggu lama kata darimu

Jam dinding pun tertawa karenaku hanya diam dan membisu
Ingin kumaki diriku sendiri yang tak berkutik di depanmu

Ada yang lain di senyummu
Yang membuat lidahku gugup tak bergerak
Ada pelangi di bola matamu
Dan memaksa diri tuk bilang
Aku sayang padamu

Mungkin sabtu nanti kuungkap semua isi di hati
Dan aku benci harus jujur padamu tentang semua ini
Jam dinding pun tertawa karenaku hanya diam dan membisu
Ingin kumaki diriku sendiri yang tak berkutik di depanmu

Ada yang lain di senyummu
Yang membuat lidahku gugup tak bergerak
Ada pelangi di bola matamu
Dan memaksa diri tuk bilang
Aku sayang padamu

Mungkin sabtu nanti kuungkap semua isi di hati
Dan aku benci harus jujur padamu tentang semua ini
Jam dinding pun tertawa karena ku hanya diam dan membisu
Ingin kumaki diriku sendiri yang tak berkutik di depanmu

Ada yang lain di senyummu
Yang membuat lidahku gugup tak bergerak
Ada pelangi di bola matamu
Dan memaksa diri dan harus memaksa

Ada yang lain di senyummu
Yang membuat lidahku gugup tak bergerak
Ada pelangi di bola matamu
Dan memaksa diri tuk bilang
Aku sayang padamu,

Aku sayang padamu
Aku sayang padamu

Overall Meaning

In Via Vallen's song Pelangi Di Matamu, the singer and her partner are sitting in silence for thirty minutes, causing the singer to feel restless and frustrated at having to wait so long. Her partner suggests that she may need a course in verbal expression, which only annoys her more. As they sit, the singer notices something different in her partner's smile, causing her tongue to become still and nervous. She sees a rainbow in her partner's eyes and feels the need to express her affection. However, she can't seem to find the words, and the clock seems to be mocking her. She wants to be alone, to find the courage to speak her heart, but something is holding her back. Finally, she decides that next Saturday she will declare all the emotions that are bottled up within her, and that she hates having to be patient.

The lyrics, therefore, explore the difficulty of expressing oneself in a relationship due to fear, insecurity, or lack of communication skills. The singer is unable to say what she feels, even though she knows it's essential, and her frustration is palpable. The song highlights the importance of open communication and honesty to maintain healthy relationships.

Tanpa suara
Without a word

Dan aku resah harus menunggu lama
And I'm anxious about waiting so long

Kata darimu
You said

Mungkin butuh kursus merangkai kata
Maybe I need a course in putting words together

Untuk bicara
To speak

Dan aku benci harus menunggu lama
And I hate waiting so long

Jam dinding pun tertawa
Even the clock on the wall is laughing

Karenaku hanya diam dan membisu
Because I'm just silent and speechless

Ingin kumaki diriku sendiri
I want to stand on my own

Yang tak berkutik di depanmu
And not feel cornered by you
