Zack Tabudlo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hindi ka sigurado ('di ka sigurado)
Nalilito nalilito ang 'yong utak
Kung tunay bang pag ibig 'to (tunay bang pag ibig 'to)
Ano ba ang problema mo
Sabihin na ang totoo
At nararamdaman nito
Kung 'di pa aminin ang gusto
Baka kasi mawala na ako
Nagulat ka nagulat ka no'ng
May kasama na 'kong iba (kasama na 'kong iba)
Pakipot ka 'wag nang pakipot pa
Baka maagaw pa ng iba (maagaw pa ng iba)
Wala nang magbabago
Kung 'di mo pa aminin 'to
Sabihin mo na nilalaman ng puso mo
At nararamdaman nito
Kung 'di pa aminin ang gusto
Baka kasi mawala na ako
Ito na ang pagkakataon
Wala nang pipigil sa 'yo
'Wag ka nang mahihiya
Sabihin na ang totoo
Sabihin mo na nilalaman ng puso mo
At nararamdaman nito
Kung 'di pa aminin ang gusto oh
Sabihin mo na nilalaman ng puso mo
At nararamdaman nito
Kung 'di pa aminin ang gusto
Baka kasi mawala na ako
The lyrics of Zack Tabudlo's song "Nangangamba" convey a feeling of uncertainty and confusion that one feels when grappling with the decision to express their true feelings towards someone they love. The persona seems to be in love with someone who is not sure if they reciprocate it or not. The continuous repetition of the phrase "Nangangamba ang 'yong puso" ("Your heart is anxious") reinforces this theme of distress and ruminations. The persona wants the person to reveal what is truly in their heart and mind, to put an end to the confusion and doubts that haunt them both. The lines, "Kung 'di pa aminin ang gusto / Baka kasi mapawala na ako" ("If you won't admit your feelings, I might disappear") underscore the urgency and the high stakes of the situation.
The second stanza talks about how the persona was surprised to find out that the person they love has someone else. They ask the person not to play hard to get anymore, as there is a possibility of losing them to someone else if they don't act fast. The chorus is repeated twice, with a slight variation in the lines "Ito na ang pagkakataon / Wala nang pipigil sa 'yo" ("This is your chance / Nothing is holding you back now"), emphasizing the importance of seizing the opportunity to speak their truth.
Overall, the song is a plea for honesty and vulnerability in a relationship where one's heart is uncertain. It is a reminder that love requires courage and the willingness to take risks.

I remember the not-so-sure if it's a lovestory I had before.
Jhs kami nang makilala ko siya dahil magkaklase kami. Mindset ko na noon na ayaw kong magkaroon ng malalim na pagkakaibigan sa mga lalaki dahil takot akong masabihan ng malandi which is before (until now ig) is quite prevalent. He was my groupmate dahil na rin sa apelyido namin and that's how I got to know him. Mathematics is my fav subject kaya it wasn't a suprise na nag-be-best in Math ako. He was smart as well but he never saw me as his competitor for the rankings. He was rather proud, and became my lowkey source of inspiration. I'm shy so I don't raise my hand during recitations but he would call my name aloud in the class so our teacher will call me. Kapag tama ang sagot ko, palakpak niya ang pinakamalakas at ngiti niya ang pinakamalawak. He knew I wasn't good sa ibang subjects yet he would still look for me para magkagrupo kami.
We would talk casually about random topics. Ginugulo-gulo niya ang buhok ko, malawak ang ngiti sa'kin, he would also pinch my cheek, and wants me to be around him. I thought it's because we were just friends but I noticed he wasn't like that towards his other friends but me. Minsan pa nga kapag I'm on his sight, he would walk out or show pissed reaction kasi tinutukso siya sa nagkaka-crush sa kaniya. One time nag-lunch ako because I was hungry and he grabbed my spoon, ate on my food, pinched my cheek, messed with my hair before he left with his sly smile.
It was a blissful moment. Ang clingy niya sa'kin. Not until my friend confessed to me that she likes him.
She was there during his clingy moments. She saw everything even our exchanges of stares, smile, or jokes. She was silently falling for his humorous personality. She fell in love with the same person I was wondering if I like. She saw that canteen scenery and her mood changes. Tinanong siya ng kaibigan namin kung bakit, and she whispered on her the reason like it was forbidden for me to hear it knowing it was just us three. She told her she was jealous. I told her we were just friends.
Speech choir kinausap niya 'ko to let me know that she wants to exchange place with me so she could hold his hand. I told him that and he got mad. He held my hand in front of her and just focus on what we were doing.
Then the girl his friends were teasing on him is actually my friend. She told me before that she really likes him. That's why I was hesitant to accomodate the acknowledgement of what was blooming inside me. I couldn't focus on what my heart was saying because I know that the more I will think about it, the deeper my fall would be. It felt surreal; it felt like a sin. I shouldn't fall for the same person my friends like because for me, it's betrayal.
I got a boyfriend who showed me interest so I could forget about him. He wasn't aware. Few people only knew about it but we were obvious. It already came to his knowledge and that's when our gap started. He wasn't talking to me like before. He was already smiling on the playful remarks of his friends, he doesn't ask me to eat lunch with him anymore.
Last year of jhs, I broke up with my boyfriend. I came to know about his relationship with my friend who likes him since we were sophomore. I wasn't shock but I wasn't expecting it either. It hurts but I smiled and whispered to myself, "Swerte mo dahil naging kayo na ng crush mo." because she was really looking forward for it.
I was frustrated but just like before, I didn't acknowledge it. I simply told myself on how young I was. We were on the stage where we find people who would be with us no matter how irrelevant their purpose is in our life just because we want to be happy. I told myself it was nothing but stupid illusion of what love really is. I didn't acknowledge it because they like him, and I don't want to lose my friends for a man.
I'm still wondering if it was love because the eyes never lie. His eyes were telling me something his mouth couldn't say.
5 years later, I'm still confuse if I fell in love. If he liked me, too. If he got hurt by what I did. If he was jealous. If I was special. If we were a thing. If it would have been me and not her. I was full of what ifs. 5 years and I'm still confused while inside that 5 years, he is already dating his second girlfriend.
That would have been me but I will never know because I didn't want to know.
I wasn't able to save the butterflies in my stomach from when I was 14.
I wasn't able to know the feeling of being loved by him.
I wasn't able to save our friendship utmost.
It must have been a lovestory but I will never know because I was busy taking care of the hearts that might break than my heart that will ache for the unsaid emotions he made me feel.
After 5 years, I am now able to let this out. It's been 5 years of keeping it. Thank you.

Worried, your heart is worried
You are not sure (you're not sure)
Confused, your mind1 is confused if is this real love
(Is this real love)
What is your problem
Tell the truth
Tell what's in your heart
And what it feels
If you won't admit what you want
'Cause I might already be gone
You're shocked
You're shocked when I'm already with someone else
(I'm already with someone else)
You're playing hard to get
Don't play hard to get or someone else might snatch me2
(Someone else might snatch me)
Nothing will change
If you won't admit this
Tell what's in your heart
And what it feels
If you won't admit what you want
'Cause I might already be gone
This is the chance
Nothing will stop you
Don't be shy
Tell the truth
Tell what's in your heart
And what it feels
If you won't admit what you want
Ohh
Tell what's in your heart
And what it feels
If you won't admit what you want
'Cause I might already be gone
