Catatan:
Red di sini tentang
kemarahan si perempuan (mungkin). Bisa jadi si perempuan ini bermaksud hendak
pergi melihat dunia, meninggalkan lelaki yang sudah menemaninya (hidup bersama).
Tapi entah kenapa, keadaan menghendaki dia untuk tetap menjalani hari-hari
seperti biasa. Dia tidak bisa pergi, dia terpaksa bohong masih mencintai ia. Antara
masih cinta, namun kenyataan di hatinya justru ingin bebas. Bisa jadi begini
maksudnya. Sorry, agak absurd emang ini lirik. Hehe…
Al Weisel of Rolling Stone
called the song a "haunting ballad about a woman trapped in a bad
relationship (Cek ke wikipedia
ternyata gak jauh jauh amat, hehe…).
