8. ONLY HOPE ( SWITCHFOOT )

There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.

So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
7. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE ( JET )
Lagunya rada-rada mirip dengan lagu when i'm gone. bercerita tentang seseorang yang sangat merindukan kekasihnya. berikut cuplikan liriknya.
take my photo off the wall
if it just wont sing for you.
coz' all thats left has gone away
and theres nothing there for you to prove.

oh, well, it seems like such fun
until you lose what you have won.
Lagu ini juga termasuk lagu yang belum banyak diketahui orang. Lagu ini bercerita tentang seseorang yang telah disakiti oleh kekasihnya. berikut penggalan liriknya.
A phrasing that’s a single tear,
Is harder than I ever feared
And you were left feeling so alone.
Because these days aren’t easy
Like they have been once before
These days aren’t easy anymore.
Why do you do this to me?
Why do you do this so easily?
You make it hard to smile because
You make it hard to breathe
Why do you do this to me?
To me, to me, to me.
5. THE SCIENTIST ( COLDPLAY )
Lagu ini bisa dibilang lagu yang paling lirih dari band ini. lagu ini bercerita tentang kekasih yang ingin meminta maaf dan kembali bersama pacarnya. berikut penggalan liriknya.
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
I know lets go back to the start
Running in circles, chaseing our tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
Oh It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
4. UNTITLED ( SIMPLE PLAN )
Lagu ini pasti sudah tidak asing lagi di telinga para penggemar simple plan. lagu ini bercerita tentang seseorang yang sudah tidak tahan lagi untuk menjalani cobaan hidup. berikut penggalan liriknya.
I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight
And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
3. RIGHT HERE WAITING FOR YOU ( RICHARD MARX )
lagu yang dinyanyikan oleh pria kelahiran tahun 1963 ini sangat senduhdan liriknya juga sangat menyentuh. lagunya bercerita tentang seseorang yang bersedia menunggu kekasihnya dimanapun kekasihnya berada dan apapun yang telah dilakukan oleh kekasihnya sampai kapanpun. berikut penggalan liriknya.
Oceans apart
Day after day
And I slowly grow insane
I hear your voice
On the line
But it doesnt stop the pain
If i see you next to never
Well how can we stay forever
(chorus)
Wherever you go whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted all the times
That i thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter
I taste the tears
But i cant get near you now
Oh cant you see it baby
You got me going crazy
(chorus)
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if im with you
I'll take the chance
Oh cant you see it baby
You got me going crazy
(chorus)
Waiting for You.
2. CANCER ( MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE )
Lagu ini bisa dibilang sebagai lagu yang paling lirih yang pernah dinyanyikan oleh band ini. lagu ini bercerita tentang seseorang yang terkena kanker dan akan meninggalkan orang-orang tercintanya. berikut cuplikan liriknya.
Turn away,
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.
Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
All my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say (if you say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Lagu ini memang tidak bernada lirih seperti lagu-lagu diatas. namun, yang membuat saya menempatkan lagu ini diurutan pertama adalah liriknya yang sangat membekas dihati kebanyakan orang. kebanyakan orang yang mendengar lagu ini setelah HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION ( kalau di Indonesia pelulusan siswa kelas 3 SMU) akan menangis mengingat masa-masa indah di SMA.
lirik lagu vitamin c-grduation
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
( 1 )
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny ?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school ?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man ?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan ?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
( repeat 1 )
La, la, la, la
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now ?
Can we survive it out there ?
Can we make it somehow ?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round ?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
( repeat 1 3X )
Masa SMA memang adalah masa terindah dalam hidup kita. Di SMA, kita menemukan teman dan juga sahabat. saat kita masuk SMA, kita sudah harus mulai menentukan pilihan yang akan kita ambil untuk masa depan kita. Di SMA, kita juga mulai belajar tentang cinta dan belajar bertanggung jawab. pada masa itu juga adalah masa terakhir kita memakai pakaian seragam, menunggu waktu bel istrahat dibunyikan, dan juga mengobrol dengan teman sewaktu jam istrahat. ada kalanya kita membolos pelajaran matematika atau fisika dan lari di kantin, melarikan diri dari kejaran pak satpam saat tidak mengikuti upacara bendera, memanjat pagar, dan juga menyontek saat ulangan.
tapi, saat-saat itulah yang akan kita rindukan suatu saat nanti. entah saat kita lewat di depan SMA tempat kita sekolah, ataupun membuka album kenangan SMA.
dan pada saat acara perpisahan kelas 3, terkadang kita tercengang melihat tempat yang sering kita gunakan untuk mengobrol dengan teman saat istrahat, ruangan kelas kita, kantin sekolah, maupun lapangan di sekolah itu.
lalu kita akan diam sejenak dan berkata dalam hati........
pada hari ini.........
SAAT AKU MELANGKAHKAN KAKI KELUAR DARI GERBANG SEKOLAH INI,
AKU TIDAK AKAN BISA KEMBALI LAGI.........
