about

Biar Ku Bersendiri is equal parts jazz and funk, and serious contemplation. It steps into a lonely inner-world, lending a voice to the ebb and flow of a personal internal struggle. The smooth vocals cut straight to the heart with lyrics that don’t bother playing pretend, in an attempt to soothe issues brewing beneath the surface – or, at the very least, to make the first step towards rationalization.

lyrics

I think it's rather strange
That the thoughts inside of me
Don't equate to what I’m saying
Or what I want you to see

I fell for this before
But still don’t know any better
So I’ve given up for now
I’ll pretend nothing’s the matter

Mengapa air mataku selalu saja mengalir
Mengapa fikiranku membebankan jiwaku
Hanya sia-sia saja ku cuba menjelaskan
Segalanya

Semakin lama hatiku bermula tak merasa apa-apa
Namun tetapku rasa segalanya
Tak mampu ku jelaskan
Kau takkan faham apa yang ada di hatiku,
Biarkan ku
Saja di sini
Bersendiri
Di sini
Biarkan ku
Bersendiri

Don’t you think it’s rather strange
That "I’m good" is my go-to reply
I don’t need or want reactions
Lest my problems amplify

I wonder why my eyes are always begging me to cry
And why my mind is telling me that I’m the bad guy
With my words, I try but I always tend to oversimplify
So I just deny

Semakin lama hatiku bermula tak merasa apa-apa
Namun tetapku rasa segalanya
Tak mampu ku jelaskan
Kau takkan faham apa yang ada di hatiku,
Biarkan ku
Saja di sini
Bersendiri
Di sini
Biarkan ku
Bersendiri

Mengapa air mataku selalu saja mengalir
Mengapa fikiranku membebankan jiwaku
