There's A Cold Wind Blowing

Inspirasi membuat lirik lagu ini agak konyol sih sebenarnya: gara-gara di Depok lagi dingin. Ga gitu doang sih, tapi ya itu awal mulanya. Cuaca sudah mulai tidak bersahabat dan hampir setiap hari di depok gw harus menghadapi hujan badai, dan biasanya hujannya sore. Alhasil malemnya jadi dingin banget, dan sebagai anak Paragita, ga jarang gw baru pulang menyusuri jalan kober-barel mendekati tengah malem. Anginnya dingin, dan entah kenapa itu membuat gw takut (bukan merinding loh ya, beda cerita itu).

Di lirik ini, gw menganalogikan angin dingin itu sebagai masalah & tantangan yang sedang gw hadapi pada saat itu. About the future, about my poor socializing skills, etc, etc.. Dan selalu saja ada orang-orang tertentu yang sepertinya senang membuat kita semakin terpuruk. Atau ya mereka ga sadar bahwa apa yang mereka ucapkan telah menyinggung gw dan membikin gw semakin down. Whatever I do, it would be never good enough.

But I realized that, hey, nobody's perfect. Dan emang apa yang gw lakukan ga akan pernah cukup. All I know is that I have to always give it my best.

There's a cold wind blowing

in the middle of the night

It still hours 'til morning

Here I am alone, walking,

thinking what I should have done

Or what shouldn't have been done

So many things I wanna do

So many things I wanna have

Yet it's like I stayed the same

After all that's happened

[Chorus]

Oh, honey bee

It doesn't matter

doesn't matter anymore

Anymore

I'll enjoy this cold wind a little longer

To prove they're not always right

To prove I am not always wrong 

It chills me to the bones

It pierces through the soul

And my heart shrinks as the air escapes me

Why am I breathing slower?

Is it true that what I do

will never be good enough

It's like I stayed the same

After all that's happened

[Chorus]

 

Have you not seen how I am standing on my own two feet?

Don't you people have anything to do than to bring me down?

Is it jealousy? Is it entertaining for you

to see me fall, to see me wrong?

What if I tell you that nothing is wrong or right

There's a cold wind blowing

in the middle of the night

I'm making myself a cup of coffee

with you by my side

would you care for a humble sip?
