1. Saat Kemarau
2. The Rose Kitchen
THE ROSE KITCHEN
>music & lyrics: J. Arwadi
There is a presence yet it's still silent
no words that give this night a warmth
echoes from outside ringing above us
that's the only voice i hear, none other
unparallelled mystery from the source so close
yet i can't define the signs she brings
i know, laughter just happens suddenly
and it's not representing the joy we need
when the sunset stirs our sky
prepare for another night of wonder
campfire built at a place nearby
tossing the flame, yellow and blue
we call it rose kitchen to start with a name
an expectation of beauty and peacefulness
still, the ashes of the burning woods
lock away the air and space to breathe
a time that is given, same time that we waste
seemingly forever blue and i feel so alone
we can't see even a little smile of joy
we can't hear even a little talks of life
tears are now dried from my eyes
one more experience of failure is done
tonight i will be on my own again
hoping things would change... but how?
3. Standpoint
STANDPOINT
>music & lyrics: J. Arwadi
There are four corners of the room
each who occupies a platform of view
the one near the window is mine
where I always look at the other 3
in my standpoint
take a standpoint
they want to be a lamp above
see all hear all speak all at once
any possibility for not not taking a part...
...of a corner where opinion comes from?
a game of the absurd
we always play each day, a megalomanic freak
playing god
multiperception in disorientation
in my standpoint
take a standpoint
don't be afraid for not knowing all
it is the way we've always been
draw a thin line between 2 corners
how we feed the opposite, an act of empathy
4. In This Tainted Life
IN THIS TAINTED LIFE
>music & lyrics: J. Arwadi
As an ordinary human being
i do feel a pain inside my heart
like anyone else, my brothers and sisters
i do have my own bad experiences
selfishness, arrogance, and ignorance
paint our mirrors all into black
kill or be killed has becaome the ideology
of our unnamed goals in this tainted life
everyone who lives on this planet earth
must agree about living the life of pain
but not everyone concerns about that
not everyone wants to find a solution
"why" is not a nice word to start a question
but i have used that for thousand times
i must learn to hate the world first
so i can say that i love god and others
"don't be conformed to this world
but be transformed by the renewal"
5. Saturday Rain
SATURDAY RAIN
>music & lyrics: J. Arwadi
I sense the nature sings so lovely
she brings me back to yesterday
when i was into deep feeling of love
hit me right into my heart
calling me back
to the oceans of reflection
water keeps falling
as the love keeps flowing
my heart is willing but i can't reach the sky
to holding on to what i love
hoping that someday i would fly
across the borders and through the clouds
calling me back
to the oceans of reflection
water keeps falling
as the love keeps flowing
but i think that i'm learning now
reality's far more important
i feel my maker teaches me something
a lesson from the saturday rain
6. Snowy Little Cold Rock
SNOWY LITTLE COLD ROCK
>music & lyrics: J. Arwadi
Snowy little cold rock speaks
she smiles at me right under the sun
who knows where the seasons lie
they lie to me and she just smiles
rivers overflow full of wonder
dreaming of "what is the next?"
i laughed my past when i knew it was real
i slapped my face again and again
watch her eyes staring at the night
emphasizing to what's called "coldness"
she hates a change of the seasons
confronting their lies and hypocrisy
snowy little cold rock speaks louder now
makes a tree called me impressed
i feel a pure warm honest attitude
from the one i used to call "cold"
snowy little cold rock speaks...
7. Temptation
TEMPTATION
>music & lyrics: J. Arwadi
Morbid views appear in front of me
every step i take i feel the pain
the door behind me has been closed for a long time
a dark and ugly tunnel my lifespan
must i move forward..
..to reach the opaque end of this path
future uncertainty seems so horrible
i must holding on, must holding on
someone grabbed my shoulders
tried to pull me and stop me
he told me a wisdom of desire
he taught me a knowledge of the flesh
temptation - i think i know what it means
deception - a sweet tenderness of a serpent's kiss
must i move forward..
..to reach the opaque end of this path
future uncertainty seems so horrible
i must holding on, must holding on
8. Blessing In Disguise
BLESSING IN DISGUISE
>music & lyrics: J. Arwadi
Picture of reality
carved by the sequence of history
all integrated into one
as a traumatic side of this world
we are the pilgrims of questions
search for the meaning of life
moments of joys and of sorrows
fused together in our existence
he who has "why" in his life
can bear with almost any "how"
he who has reason to live
from all his tragedies...
...come a blessing in disguise
many lives don't know where to go
walk the paths of deception
must i follow them for comfort
if i know they are far from the truth
he who has..
