Sandiwara Semu
rumahsakit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Layaknya permaisuri sang raja
Dia duduk bermahkota di singgasana
Bertaburkan kilau intan permata
Dan menyilaukan mata yang melihatnya

Semua terpesona padanya
Wajah nan jelita
Senyum manis ramah menggoda
Pada siapa saja

Ahhh...

Namun sayang semuanya tak nyata
Kau hanyalah fatamorgana
Tak seindah tampaknya
Dan kau buat orang tergila-gila
Memuja lalu terpedaya
Tertipu sandiwara semu

Mudahnya kau mainkan logika
Semuanya tipu daya dan pura-pura
Tak kuasa ku pun ikut percaya
Terjerat janji surga terbawa suasana

Semua terpesona padanya
Wajah nan jelita
Senyum manis ramah menggoda
Pada siapa saja

Ahhh...

Namun sayang semuanya tak nyata
Kau hanyalah fatamorgana
Tak seindah tampaknya
Dan kau buat orang tergila-gila
Memuja lalu terpedaya
Tertipu sandiwara semu

Kau beri harapan yang palsu
Semua... hanya tuk puaskan hasratmu
Bila... telah habis kau hisap madu
Kau tinggalkan dia tertunduk layu...

Namun sayang semuanya tak nyata
Kau hanyalah fatamorgana
Tak seindah tampaknya
Dan kau buat orang tergila-gila
Memuja lalu terpedaya
Tertipu sandiwara




Terjerat janji surga
Semu...

Overall Meaning

The song "Sandiwara Semu" by rumahsakit is about a deceptive illusion that is so alluring that people are willing to believe in it, only to eventually be disillusioned. The lyrics liken this illusion to a queen who sits regally on her throne, bedecked in jewels that dazzle the onlooker's eyes. Everyone is entranced and taken by her beauty, charisma, and charm, but as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this queen is nothing more than a mirage.


The song speaks of the Queen's illusory nature, and how despite appearing so glorious, she is nothing more than a passing dream. The chorus emphasizes the point that everything about her is merely a "sandiwara semu," or a false facade. The verse that follows also reveals the dangers of believing in an illusion, as one can end up a victim to its alluring charms, only to then feel betrayed and let down when they realize the truth.


In essence, this song is a warning against blindly following something without questioning its nature and reality. The Queen is a metaphor for anything that is too good to be true and is a reminder not to be fooled by surface-level appearances.
