Young Lex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tapi tak bisa di rewind
Putus asa dan jatuh
Itu pilihan
Tapi kuabaikan
Karena yang ku tatap
Kesuksesan instant
Ku masih tulis lirik saat semua mata sudah terpejam
Seperti tentara yang akan kalah di Medan perang
Mereka bilang ku tak punya peluang
Maka aku buat kesempatan kritik itu pahit tapi tetap ku telan
Ku tahan rasa sakit dan tetap berjalan
Dan ku tatap ke depan kaca
Ada sesosok orang
Yang beri ku dukungan
Ah waktu berputar tak pernah berhenti
Semangat merah tak luntur bahai nyala api
Garis finish masih jauh di depan menantiku jatuh
Tapi ku bangkit lagi
Badai yang besar menakutkan
Aku elang buatku terbang tinggi di awan
Mereka bilang tak mungkin gapai impian
Mereka yang lemah cari alasan
They know my name
Not my story
Tak perduli
Dengan yang iri
They know my name
Not my story
Ku tatap kaca menyemangati
Ah kuawali manggung
Penonton kosong
Sekarang penuh
Usaha keras tak pernah bohong
Video clip ku buat sendiri
Space komputer tak mampu bekerja
Ku pinjam komputer gereja
Dulu sekarang dan nanti
Ku tak akan berubah
Terkenal kaya akan harta
Tak buatku angkuh ku tetap sama
Tetap yang dulu ingat semua orang
Yang beriku dukungan dulu diremehkan
Sekarang di idolakan bagiku mereka itu
Tenaga tambahan
Anak kecil remaja orang tua
Semuanya tetap ada buatku jadi yang pertama
Ah saat ku lemah mereka ada
Saat ku lemah mereka ada
Lex sugar jadi penyemangatku bekerja
Karena mereka ku terus berkarya
Buat diriku terus ada
Haters bilang ku tak bisa usahaku sia sia ku buktikan
Mereka salah dan kutatap ke depan kaca ada seorang yang berkata
They know my name
Not my story
Tak perduli
Dengan yang iri
They know my name
Not my story
Ku tatap kaca menyemangati
They know my name
Not my story
Tak perduli
Dengan yang iri
They know my name
Not my story
Ku tatap kaca menyemangati
In "Kaca," Young Lex reflects on his rise to success and the obstacles he faced along the way. The opening lines "Ah hidup seperti film, tapi tak bisa di rewind" (life is like a movie, but can't be rewound) suggest that although he has experienced success, he cannot go back and change the difficult moments. He acknowledges that moments of despair and failure are choices he made. Despite this, he focuses on the instant success he has achieved, and notes that it has been perceived by others as easy.
The lyrics also explore the theme of perseverance. Young Lex admits to writing lyrics when others have gone to sleep and describes himself as a soldier that will not back down despite facing odds that suggest he will lose. He is determined to create opportunities for himself and take criticism in stride, even if it's bitter. The lines "Badai yang besar menakutkan, aku elang buatku terbang tinggi di awan" (big storms are scary, but I am an eagle that can fly high in the clouds) suggest that he is capable of being resilient in the face of adversity.
Lastly, the lyrics are a celebration of the support he has received from others. From the beginning stages of his career, Young Lex notes that his performances had no audience. However, because of his hard work, he is now playing to a full house. The line "ku tatap kaca menyemangati" (I look at the mirror to energize myself) suggests that he looks to himself for motivation, but is also grateful for the people in his life who provide him with encouragement. The repeated refrain "They know my name, not my story" highlights Young Lex's desire to be known for the substance of his work and not just his brand.

Ah hidup seperti film
Life is like a movie
Tapi tak bisa di rewind
But it cannot be rewound
Putus asa dan jatuh
Despair and fall
Itu pilihan
That's a choice
Tapi kuabaikan
But I ignore it
Karena yang ku tatap
Because what I see
Kesuksesan instant
Instant success
Itu yang kau bilang
That's what you say
Ku masih tulis lirik saat semua mata sudah terpejam
I still write lyrics when all eyes are closed
Seperti tentara yang akan kalah di Medan perang
Like a soldier who is about to lose on the battlefield
Mereka bilang ku tak punya peluang
They say I don't have a chance
Maka aku buat kesempatan kritik itu pahit tapi tetap ku telan
So I create opportunities, criticism is bitter but I swallow it
Ku tahan rasa sakit dan tetap berjalan
I endure the pain and keep walking
Dan ku tatap ke depan kaca
And I look forward to the mirror
Ada sesosok orang
There is someone
Yang beri ku dukungan
Who supports me
Ah waktu berputar tak pernah berhenti
Ah time never stops turning
Semangat merah tak luntur bahai nyala api
The red spirit never fades, the flame still burns
Garis finish masih jauh di depan menantiku jatuh
The finish line is still far ahead, waiting for me to fall
Tapi ku bangkit lagi
But I rise again
Badai yang besar menakutkan
The big storm is scary
Aku elang buatku terbang tinggi di awan
I am an eagle, soaring high in the clouds
Mereka bilang tak mungkin gapai impian
They say it's impossible to reach my dreams
Mereka yang lemah cari alasan
Those who are weak find excuses
They know my name
They know my name
Not my story
But not my story
Tak perduli
I don't care
Dengan yang iri
About those who are jealous
Ku tatap kaca menyemangati
I look at the mirror for motivation
Ah kuawali manggung
Ah, I start the show
Penonton kosong
Empty audience
Sekarang penuh
Now it's full
Usaha keras tak pernah bohong
Hard work never lies
Video clip ku buat sendiri
I make my own video clips
Space komputer tak mampu bekerja
Computer space cannot handle it
Ku pinjam komputer gereja
I borrow a computer from the church
Dulu sekarang dan nanti
In the past, present, and future
Ku tak akan berubah
I will not change
Terkenal kaya akan harta
Famous and rich with wealth
Tak buatku angkuh ku tetap sama
It does not make me arrogant, I remain the same
Tetap yang dulu ingat semua orang
Still the same, remember everyone
Yang beriku dukungan dulu diremehkan
Those who supported me before were underestimated
Sekarang di idolakan bagiku mereka itu
Now, they are my idols
Tenaga tambahan
Extra energy
Anak kecil remaja orang tua
Children, teenagers, and the elderly
Semuanya tetap ada buatku jadi yang pertama
They are all still there, making me the first
Ah saat ku lemah mereka ada
Ah, when I am weak, they are there
Lex sugar jadi penyemangatku bekerja
Lex sugar is my motivation to work
Karena mereka ku terus berkarya
Because of them, I continue to create
Buat diriku terus ada
To keep myself going
Haters bilang ku tak bisa usahaku sia-sia ku buktikan
Haters say I can't do it, but I prove them wrong
Mereka salah dan kutatap ke depan kaca ada seorang yang berkata
They are wrong, and as I look at the mirror, someone says
Ku tatap kaca menyemangati
I look at the mirror for motivation
They know my name
They know my name
Not my story
But not my story
Tak perduli
I don't care
Dengan yang iri
About those who are jealous
Ku tatap kaca menyemangati
I look at the mirror for motivation
