Band pinggiran yang dibentuk akhir 90an di Yogya ini seperti sedang menulis ulang pengertian dari idiom lama "hidup segan mati tak mau". Cerita mereka cukup panjang, terlalu panjang untuk diceritakan ulang; juga tak terlalu penting. Pendeknya; mereka sudah muncul sejak jaman Parkinsound masih rutin diadakan tahunan; sesekali main band di panggung lokal, sesekali main di luar kota, sesekali main musik untuk performance dan teater, sesekali main musik untuk film, tapi lebih sering duduk-duduk, bercanda, saling memusuhi lalu berdamai sebelum permusuhan berikutnya. Sebuah band, bagaimanapun, cenderung meniru sebuah keluarga. Mengutip Anna Karenina: Seluruh keluarga bahagia selalu sama; keluarga tidak-bahagia, selalu tidak berbahagia dengan caranya masing-masing. Keluarga tidak berbahagia yang sering disingkat namanya menjadi Melbi ini disfungsional, retak, tapi selalu punya alasan untuk berkumpul di hari raya. Hari raya yang sibuk mereka ciptakan sendiri.

Apel Adam

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kau
Tak bisa mencuri sepotong roti dan kau tak bisa mencuri sebuah apel karena
Pencurian merusak kesetimbangan harga
Dunia
Sesungguhnya dia bisa saja keluar hidup-hidup dari perangkap yang disiapkan untuknya
Dia berdiri di depan lorong ruangan jingga dan biru dan magenta
Kaleng biru berisi susu darah di dalam dirinya magenta
Supermarket memerangkapnya, sebuah apel jatuh dari lubang di celananya

Apel itu
Apelmu Adam

Buah apelmu Adam (Buah apelmu Adam)
Buah apelmu (buah apelmu)
Buah apelmu Adam (Buah apelmu Adam)
Buah apelmu (buah apelmu)

Pada orang orang yang memerangkapnya
Mengurungnya
Mencekal pundaknya
Membanting punggungnya ke aspal
Pada orang - orang yang menghantamkan hukuman Tuhan di wajahnya
Joni berkata

Jangan libatkan polisi di lagu ini
Jangan libatkan polisi di cinta ini
(Buah apelmu Adam)
Jangan libatkan polisi di lagu ini (buah apelmu)
(Buah apelmu Adam)
Jangan libatkan polisi di cinta ini (buah apelmu)

(Buah apelmu Adam)
Sementara polisi datang lebih cepat dari ambulan

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Melancholic Bitch's song "Apel Adam" convey a message about the consequences of stealing and the imbalance it causes in the world. The first verse suggests that stealing even a piece of bread or an apple is detrimental and upsets the balance of prices in the world. The singer of the song is trapped by the materialism of society and is unable to escape it. The second verse describes a supermarket that traps the singer, and an apple falls out of his pocket. The apple represents the forbidden fruit, and symbolizes the singer's struggles with materialism and spirituality.

The chorus "buah apelmu Adam" (your apple, Adam) refers to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, where Eve is tempted by the apple and gives it to Adam, leading to the fall of man. The song suggests that the singer is like Adam, tempted by materialism, and ultimately giving in to it.

The bridge of the song references the violence and brutality that people face for their mistakes. The line "menghantamkan hukuman Tuhan di wajahnya" (hitting God's punishment in his face) describes the physical punishment endured by the singer for his transgressions.

Overall, the song "Apel Adam" is a powerful commentary on the impact of materialism and the struggle to remain true to oneself in a world that values possessions over humanity.
