Lifehouse, It Is What It Is

I was only looking for a shortcut home
But it’s complicated
So complicated

Somewhere in this city is a road I know
Where we could make it
But maybe there’s no making it now

Too long we’ve been denying
Now we’re both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can’t get over it

Nothing to relive
It’s water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is

I was only trying to bury the pain
But I made you cry and I can’t stop the crying

Was only trying to save me
But I lost you again
Now there’s only lying
Wish I could say it’s only me

Too long we’ve been denying
Now we’re both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can’t get over it

Nothing to relive
It’s water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is

Here it comes ready or not
We both found out it’s not how we thought
That it would be, how it would be

If the time could turn us around
What once was lost may be found
For you and me, for you and me

Too long we’ve been denying

Now we’re both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can’t get over it

Nothing to relive
It’s water under the bridge
You said it, I get it
I guess it is what it is

I was only looking for a shortcut home
But it’s complicated
So complicated

Saya tidak tahu kenapakah saya sangat suka ini lagu. Dalam masa seminggu ni, tiap malam saya akan menjadikannya 'ubat tidur' saya. Mungkin sebab musik nya yang indah. Dan mungkin kerana susunan bait lirik yang sangat bermakna.

Too long we've been denying, now we're both tired of trying
We hit a wall and we can't get over it

Bait lirik ni dalam makna dia. Apa yang saya faham ialah berkaitan dengan pergaduhan dalam sesuatu hubungan. Kedua-dua pihak merasakan perkara tersebut (clash), tapi masing2 menafi kerana tidak sampai hati.

Tapi apabila mereka sudah lelah mencuba meneruskan hubungan, mereka gagal. Jadi it is what it is bermakna perkara yang mereka khuatirkan sudah pun berlaku. Situasi ni pernah jadi pada saya suatu ketika dulu. huhu.

Dan ada juga situasi sebaliknya. Dua pihak saling menyayangi dan memendam perasaan. Mereka saling cuba meluahkan perasaan dengan cara menunjukkan perhatian dan kasih sayang. Itu dimaksudkan dengan hit the wall tapi, entah di mana silapnya, mesej itu tidak kesampaian. huhu.... lagi sedih lau jadi camni kan.

Dari lagu ni saya belajar something. Lau kita sangat menyayangi seseorang, cuba terus terang. biarlah mungkin segalanya akan mengundang perkara yang tidak diingini, tapi sekurang-kurangnya dia tahu perasaan kita. Lau tidak, last sekali jadi macam lagu ni lah. It's complicated. So complicated. *sigh*
