Inilah satu cerita
Pernah berlaku di Kota Singa
Todak menyerang tiada terkira
Ramailah gugur orang-orang Raja
Ikan todak
Ikan todak

Segala akal telah diguna
Untuk melindung orang-orang kota
Todak masih menyerang juga
Bertambahlah gugur orang Raja
Ikan todak
Ikan todak

Budak cerdik menyembah Raja
Memberi akal melindung nyawa
Batang pisang telah diguna
Serangan todak tak dapat kena
Ikan todak
Ikan todak

Sedih sungguh di akhir cerita
Budak cerdik telah dimurka
Kerana fitnah dan dusta
Budak dibuang di laut kota

Ikan todak
Ikan todak

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Xpdc's song "Ikan Todak" tell a story set in the city of Singa where a fierce and unexpected attack by a school of todak fish took place. The first verse describes the chaos and devastation caused by the todak fish as people, including those of royal lineage, fell victim to their aggression. The repetition of the words "Ikan todak" serves as a reminder of the relentless nature of these fish and the recurring threat they pose.


The second verse highlights the efforts made by the city's residents to protect themselves from the todak fish. They use all their knowledge and intelligence to devise strategies and defenses, but unfortunately, their attempts are in vain as the todak fish continue to attack, resulting in the demise of even more royal figures. This ongoing struggle depicts the tenacity and unrelenting nature of the todak fish.


In the third verse, a clever servant or slave humbly approaches the king and offers a solution to their problem. Through his resourcefulness and cunning, he suggests using a banana tree trunk as a clever decoy to divert the attacks of the todak fish, saving lives and preventing further casualties. This verse highlights the power of intellect and thinking outside the box to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges.


The final verse takes an unexpected turn as the story concludes with a bittersweet ending. The clever servant, unfortunately, suffers the consequences of being falsely accused and punished by the king. Fueled by rumors and deceit, he is cast away and thrown into the sea. This ending reminds us of the harsh reality of life, where noble actions can sometimes be met with unjust punishments and betrayals.


Overall, the lyrics of "Ikan Todak" weave a tale of a devastating attack by todak fish, the futile efforts of the people to defend themselves, and the ultimate triumph and tragedy faced by a clever servant.
