ESCAPE ALBUM LYRICS

Silence Island

Welcome to reality
You may have to see
Live in children’s fantasy
Dreams will set you free

Calling for imagination
Powered by the brain invention
Losing all the saturation
Flying underneath the stars

Animate the tragedy
Freedom of the land
Craving for technology
It never comes to an end

I use to play with my mind
Acting as somebody else
To switch my point of view in many things
I learn how people can survive in Silence Island
And send a message to through the knowledge
To build an empire of the world

 

Someday

I have found myself in paradise
With flowers in my hand
I can see some gorgeous butterflies
They’re dancing in the air

After long-waited you’re finally here
Knock on my deepest heart
I remember you smile and I laugh
To see the morning light

Would you please.. stay
Don’t wanna wake up from this dream
Don’t wanna wake up
Is this real?
We’ll be together… someday

I have found myself so terrified of losing you again
I can see our future
Bright so bright
We’re dancing in the air

 

Spacybilly

I use my mind to measure up the gravity
And make a system for the world of prodigy
Stick on quality to bring quantity
Uuuh.. my destiny

Sometimes I push the O2 right in front of me
Collecting air to fill the engine, it’s all me
Numerology, curiousity
Uuuh.. it’s a prophecy

Lost is space among the maze of words you can’t rephrase
When your brain starts to decay your heart needs to stay awake

Come closer look at the mock-ups then you will see
A magnificent place of ideology
Play spacybilly, raise ability
Uuuh.. it’s an odessy… why can’t you see
It’s my destiny
My destiny

 

Just Tonight

Do you remember all the things I’ve said?
Walking down the street go staight ahead
Cause you… you know I’ll be there
Time will pass we’ll miss the good old day
Nothing’s left but future, that’s okay
Cause you… you know I’ll be there

Just tonight, just tonight
Wish for the star
Just tonight, just tonight
Sleep in your arm
Just tonight, just tonight
We are in our dreams awake

Freeze the moment save the memories
Store the pictures find the melodies
Cause you… you know I’ll be there

From the space I see your face
Through the cloud I write your name
Wait me in a promise land

 

Somewhere in Between

Summer in the east
Winter in the coast
Seven days I stay on my own
Somewhere in between
The ocean and the sun
Listen to your voice on the phone
Just to hear the words
That will change the world

Lost in labyrinth
Pressure in my vein
Miss you every beat of my heart
Letter’s in my hand
Written by your hand
Looking for the phrase on my notes
Just to read the words
That will change the world

“I want you… I want you to be mine”
And you need to know
That I love you so
Yes I do

 

No Tears From My Eyes 

The time is tickin’, I’m waiting for my turn
To find a way out from point of no return
While you’re hiding in the place where you and me were separated
When will it end?
When will it end?

So I cry
No tears from my eyes
No.. no tears from my eyes
And the water pouring from the sky

I pray in silence, I see the lightning strike
No one here but me, I have to be alive
Holding my breath under water, inside caves over the hill
To survive
To survive

Maybe I’ll give it another try
You feel me right upon the sky

I send my last words through the air
And this is my sweetest goodbye

 

Alone in the Loneliness 

I can reach the sky above the mountain
And pick a star then I give it to you
The sun is giving up to shine
But I still feel its warmth
The moon will smile and watch me ’till I’m gone

I will stay and wait for you in silence
And I will let the time come true
Until you realize that someone’s watching over you
To hold you in a blanket of truth

But you don’t come
You leave me in a sadness of broken heart
And I am here… alone in the loneliness

Take me to the place where I belong to
Before I met and fell in love with you
I shouldn’t have chosen the path that brought me to your arm
Now I realize I’m not the chosen one

You crash me down
You leave me in the sadness of broken heart
And I am dying… alone in the loneliness

How can you do that to someone that loves you from the heart?
I can’t believe what you’ve done to me, it really hurts

 

Gone Forever

Life depends on the machinary way
No more celebration on a brand new day
Looking for a place for me to stay away
From the fear… I believe

Shadows grow along together with my pain
It’s hard for me to wait forever and a day
But when the time has come I need to stay awake
And I wish I could say… I’m sorry

Don’t you grieve for me
Will you stay with me
And I hold you close
And I’m cold
I’ll be gone
Forever

 

Sun Goes Down

Life will give you hundred times to cry
Million ways to smile it’s worth to try
Sun goes down

Hold back all your tears and walk away
Moving on is better than you stay
Sun goes down
Sun goes down everyday

You said you’ll be fine
We fall for many times
Life goes on.. you know why
Sun goes down everyday

You learn how to live from yesterday
You took all the pain and swept away
Sun goes down
Sun goes down everyday

LIBURAN INDIE (SINGLE) – LYRICS

Saat ku berjalan, tanpa ragu, tanpa bimbang
Takkan kulepaskan engkau dari genggaman tanganku…

(uuu ..uu..uu..)

Melepas lelah, pergi jauh tuk kembali lagi
Bersamamu s’lalu, tak ingin berakhir waktuku

Menikmati pagi, sore, dan malam
Secangkir kopi panas, santai tanpa batas.
Lalu ada Sir Dandy bernyanyi, Mocca kembali lagi
Musik indie di tivi

Menikmati pagi, sore, dan malam
Jimi-Buluk siaran, Otong “Koil” twitteran
Lalu ada kabar Trio Lestari akan tampil di sini
Kami pun hampiri

Menikmati pagi, sore, dan malam
Ditemani lagu Efek Rumah Kaca
Lalu ada Barry Likumahuwa di majalah ternama
Kami turut bangga

Menikmati pagi, sore, dan malam
Navicula bertandang, S.I.D berjuang
Lalu ada GIGI, Anji, Tohpati
White Shoes (and the) Couples Company
dan RAN terus berlari…

(uu..uu..uu..uu)

Tiba-tiba panggilan kerjaan tak bisa diabaikan
kami harus lakukan….kembali…

ps : single ini hadir di album kompilasi berjudul Radio Killed TV Stars rilisan Organic Records.

 

LOOK WHAT WE’VE FOUND – LYRICS

Monkey Song

There’s a monkey who lives somewhere far away, far away from here
Maybe we can call the place the Eden of the East
The Monkey climbs a tree and sees a rainbow in the sky
And sees the jungle from the top of that Dreaming Tree

He is looking for a banana tree, it’s so hard to find
He will never stop until the night has come
Swinging from the vines

Swing and sway, seize the day
You will find the way
Swing and sway, everyday?Lighten up your day

Finally he found the banana tree… Yes, he is so happy
But there’s only one that’s ripe, he can’t wait to eat it
The monkey climbs the tree and grabs the banana with his hand
But when he wants to eat, he sees little monkey on the ground

Little monkey can’t jump, he just stares at him
And cries, he is starving

The monkey thinks so hard and doesn’t bear to ignore him
And then he gives the banana to the little monkey
Oh he is so insane..
What a life… is to care and share

Remember Me

I walk alone in beach sand
And I don’t know which way to go
I left my heart in this island
But I should take it slow

Now I go straight to the ocean
Swimming and dancing in the sea
Hey don’t worry I’ll find my way home
Back to you and our family

I’m trying to be strong, I’m here standing alone
But it’s time for me to face the future
I promise to come back and I hope that you’ll remember me as yours

I stare at a moon and thousands of stars in the sky
I wish I could see you now
Hey don’t forget the thing we used to talk about
Love.. love… love

Midnight Sun

Sometimes you hate me, sometimes you love me
But you realize, you realize that you can’t leave me behind
I can be your best friend, I can be your enemy
I can be anything, anything you want me to be

You can run, run, run
In the midnight sun, sun, sun

Sometimes you hope, sometimes you forget that I am here
But you’ll be sorry, you’ll be sorry when you are losing me

Kou Kou the Fisherman

I’m Kou Kou the Fisherman that lives near the coast of this island
Wind and stars are my friends, they told me where to go
Life is tough, yes it’s tough, but don’t give up

I’m sailing in the sea, surviving in this blue ocean
I’m taking my fishing rod, here I am stay on my boat
Life is tough, yes it’s tough, but don’t give up

I feel the air, it whispers my name
The water is calm and it’ll be as right as rain

The time is running I said to myself , “Fish or cut bait, Kou?”
But then there’s something big, swimming towards my boat
Life is tough, yes it’s tough, but don’t give up
Life is good, yes it’s good, I’ve got food!

Wish You Were Here

I always be here waiting for you to come back home
I keep our flowers grow, since we planted the seed many years ago

And I stare at the moon and hope we’ll meet there, hope we’ll meet there?‘cause I miss you
I wish you were here

I know it’s hard for you to stay and so I let you go
But you promised to never let me down and said that you love me so

And I stare at the moon and hope we’ll meet there, hope we’ll meet there
‘cause I miss you?I wish you were here

Make your dreams fulfilled, and don’t forget to take me with you someday

It’s Gone

Rain don’t stop falling
Sun don’t stop shining
Tears won’t stop streaming,
when I see my friends leaving

Home, it falls to pieces
Life is filled with despair
They burn, they took everything?‘till nothing’s left .. they are gone

There will be no future, don’t want to live
It suffers
There will be no river, blood will change the water

Crows are flying in the sky
I pray, I stay, I die

The King

I climb the highest mountain across the savannah
Dreams of every creatures, dreams of everyone

I look up to the sky, I see you in the clouds
Running trough the night, waiting for a dawn

I’m stopping by a river, staring at the sea
I swim in deep blue oceans, and you are still with me

The flowers and the bees
The birds and the trees
They belong together just like you and me

Waiting

I start to write a love letter, when I first met you there
But I still keep it on my secret place
I’m not the only one who adores you anyway
But someday you will know that I am here

I’m just waiting for a moment to tell you
I’m waiting, and I’ll make you all mine
I’m just waiting, waiting, waiting…

I don’t care what people say about who you are and what you do
And all I see is that perfect lies in you
I believe that the time will come and we will be together
Oh I am so in love with you, and I’m falling, I’m falling for you

Tuimbe (Let’s Sing)

When you start the day, my friend
Come on hold my hand
Start to sing and start to dance, come on take a chance
You can run and catch the sun, and your day has begun
Put a smile on your face, my friend?Praise the holy land

When you feel so sad, my friend
Come on hold my hand
Lift your life with a smile, my friend
Forget the bitter end
You can be a better man, the future is in your hand
Listen to your heart, my friend
Praise the holy land

Sing en das met my ah (sing and dance together)

Teman-teman, sedikit catatan khusus bahwa lirik lagu di album “Look What We’ve Found” di halaman ini ada beberapa kata yang berbeda dengan yang saya nyanyikan di album. Saya sudah berkonsultasi dengan teman saya, Brandon Van Slyke dari www.getitright.co.id , seorang konsultan dokumen/ karya/ presentasi dalam penulisan menggunakan Bahasa Inggris.

Setelah lirik album Look What We’ve Found saya kirim via email ke Brandon, memang ada beberapa tata bahasa yang kurang tepat… meskipun tidak fatal. Mungkin tidak bisa dikatakan salah juga, karena untuk sebuah lirik lagu lebih mengejar estetika bunyi.. seperti puisi pun juga begitu. Seperti misalnya, ada beberapa kata hasil edit Brandon yang tidak saya cantumkan di sini, karena terlalu jauh dengan estetika bunyi yang saya inginkan. Namun tentu saja saya lebih memilih untuk terus mengkonsultasikan karya saya kepada orang yang jauh lebih mengerti Bahasa Inggris. Tujuannya supaya saya tahu bagaimana penulisan yang benar sesuai tata bahasa meskipun lebih enak bunyi yang “salah” itu.

Sejak awal, salah satu motivasi saya menulis lirik dalam Bahasa Inggris adalah untuk belajar. Saya termasuk orang yang lemah/ kurang bakat dalam mempelajari bahasa.. tidak semudah saat saya belajar musik. Perlu waktu lebih lama dan motivasi untuk belajar bahasa. Almarhumah ibu saya pernah berkata bahwa salah satu motivasi dan kegiatan yang menyenangkan untuk belajar bahasa asing adalah dengan menyanyikannya. Menulis merupakan tingkatan setelah itu.. dan sampai saat ini saya pun masih terus belajar.

Saya tidak pernah tinggal di luar negeri. Nilai Bahasa Inggris di sekolah pun hanya rata-rata, tidak istimewa. Bahkan pertama kali ke luar negeri saat album Nowhere to Go sudah rilis, yaitu tahun 2009. Saya pun tidak menyangka bahwa pekerjaan saya yang menyenangkan ini bisa membawa saya pergi ke tempat yang saya belum pernah kunjungi sebelumnya. Betapa saya beruntung… sembari belajar, saya pun diberkahi pengalaman baru dan teman-teman baru.

Semoga kisah saya ini bermanfaat untuk teman-teman..

Sincerely,

Endah

NOWHERE TO GO – LYRICS

I DON’T REMEMBER

I don’t know where I live
Don’t know what im doing over here
I cant remember all these streets
Im just walking my way and im asking to the people all around
But they pay no heed to me at all
Suddenly after few minutes, I hear a whisper in my ears
It says : “find me when you know what you’ve been through,
Im a white black beager with a brown pelt on my left eye”
I just can say : “I don’t remember”
Oh I lost my mind and I just can say : “I don’t remember”
I just can say : “I don’t remember”
Oh I lost my mind and I just can say
I’ve finally found you dog but you’re running down to the road
Im stealing a bike, im chasing you up
Cause you are the answer of my questions
Oh im really tired, I cant move anymore
But the dog stops in the end of the street
The dog is right, I’ve got my memories back
Cause I see my body lays over there
Im a deadman walking, I’ve met my destiny
I saved the dog and let my soul free
The truck came when the dog was on the street
I was trying to get him and it’s not too late but.. yeah
I know I was there… and then I’m here

BLUE DAY

Monday was a blue day
Because he left me, and kept some secret
I tried to find him and followed the rainbow
I met his family and the story flowed
I didn’t realize that he never tell lies
But hiding something, pain inside his heart
He stared at my eyes and he let me know everything
I was so surprised, the news wasn’t so nice
How do I know the truth if you didn’t say so
I would understand if you trust and believe in me
How do I know the truth if you didn’t say so
But you have to know that my love would last forever
He’s laying in bed, I’ll never forget
He smiled and ask forgiveness without tears fell from his eyes
How do I know the truth if you didn’t say so
I would understand if you trust and believe in me
How do I know the truth if you didn’t say so
But you have to know that my love would last forever

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE

I love you but it’s not so easy to make you here with me
I wanna touch and hold you forever but you’re still in my dream
And I can’t stand to wait ’till night is coming to my life
But I still have a time to break a silence
When you love someone just be brave to say
That you want him to be with you
When you hold your love don’t ever let him go
Or you will loose your chance to make your dream come true
I used to hide and watch you from a distance
And I knew you realized
I was looking for a time to get closer
At least to say “Hello”
And I can’t stand to wait ‘till night is coming to my life
When you love someone just be brave to say
That you want him to be with you
When you hold your love don’t ever let him go
Or you will loose your chance to make your dream come true
I never thought that Im so strong
I stuck on you and wait so long
But when love comes it can’t be wrong
Don’t ever give up, just try and try to get what you want
Cause love will find the way
When you love someone just be brave to say
That you want him to be with you
When you hold your love don’t ever let him go
Or you will loose your chance to make your dream come true

LIVING WITH PIRATES

In this old ship I spend my life
With stupid captain and his stinky hat .. it’s pathetic
I don’t care which way to go
North, east, west oh.. I don’t know.. is it south? Or maybe is not..
Storm and thunder, the sea’s like a monster
The captain shouted that we have some problems..oh yeah..
I feel cold and I feel so bored
I am trapped in this silly boat
The captain’s ship has drown away
Find a land just to relax for a day
but now he goes to the biggest harbour
steals a ship and brings some crews, it’s fantastic
that’s the one that I like..
living with pirates and we will do it all again
living with pirates and we will do it all again
unfortunately, the captain’s caught by military
and he’s brought to jail and im locked up in a cage
but he’s taking me with him.. and we runaway
we runaway.. we runaway..and we run
living with pirates and we will do it all again
living with pirates and we will do it all again

CATCH THE WINDBLOWS

When I wake up everyday
I smell coffee near my window
I realize it’s summer day
Then I start leaving my pillow
i don’t wanna miss a greatest thing I’ll have today
suddenly I thank God im still alive in this beautiful day
whole world seems so wonderful to me
even though im blind and cannot see the sunrise
even though im blind, I only catch the windblows in my hand
I am happy
Yellow, green, sunburst, pink many colors don’t mean a thing
They don’t disturb me at all
Real world not so complicated to me until I die
The more I feel the more I see in everything that passion me
The more I feel the more I believe in everything that makes me want to
live
whole world seems so wonderful to me
even though im blind and cannot see the sunrise
even though im blind, I only catch the windblows in my hand
I am happy

A THOUSAND CANDLES LIGHTED

Thousand Candles Lighted, and each candle is a prayer
Let us break the darkness through this little candle light
Let us throw the darkness through this little candle light
Thousand flowers bloom, and each flower is a hope
Let us be the people who bring a better tomorrow
With strength and hope we cover it by love
Only with strength and hope we bring a better tomorrow
Only with strength and hope we build a better tomorrow
I know someone standing forward in his believe in
The most person with a big hope and strength
And a part of him has grown in me
Inspired my whole life
he brings me to a new vision of life.. as time goes by
even death do us part
separate us in a distance but not in heart
but the spirit stay somewhere in my heart
give me a reason to never giving up
and he’s not afraid of the dark cause the dark is part of our life
but he’s worry for the dimness, cause the dimness means you’re giving up

UNCLE JIM

There is a man whose called Uncle Jim
Doesn’t have home, he’s sleeping on the street
He use to play his old violin
Singing while tap dancing with his feet
I always see him every morning
He gives me strength and spirit with his smile
I wait the train until it’s coming
Wave my hand and then he says “Goodbye”
Rising up to major notes, falling down to minor chords
I always remember all the words
Don’t worry, be happy.. he shout at me that im so pretty
Maybe people think that he’s so crazy
Uncle Jim, you make my world becomes beautiful
Play the melody once more
Rising up to major notes, falling down to minor chords
I always remember all the words
Don’t worry, be happy.. he shout at me that im so pretty
Maybe people think that he’s so crazy
But now he’s gone and cant be found
Maybe he has left this town.. oh..
I only hear an empty sound..
I’m so worry and unhappy… I feel the world no longer pretty
what my day is gonna be?
Uncle Jim, I heard the latest news today..
I send my message to you when I pray

BABY IT’S YOU

I don’t know you.. I don’t know you
I don’t know you who is standing next to me
And I don’t care about all the things you do
I love you.. I love you
I love you who is looking back to me
I love you oh.. maybe .. baby it’s you

BEFORE YOU SLEEP

Tonight I bring the voice of dream
In time you laugh and shed a tear
And you will find my love devine
Before you sleep tonight
Just close your eyes and rest for a while
Reflect your life for one more time
In graceful moment, amazing part
Before you sleep tonight
In graceful moment, amazing part
Before you sleep tonight

TAKE ME HOME

When Im lost at the desert
No one look for me.. and I keep going on
Something wrong.. there’s something wrong
That I cant find my way back home
Im so tired.. im really tired
Im still waiting.. waiting for a ride
I close my eyes, I hope I can see my oldman smile and hold me tight
Please somebody please
Take me home… take me home
Take me home
