The Dog Days are Over

Mengartikan lagu dari sudut pandang gw sendiri,
cekidot.

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

Seneng, seneng banget. Alhamdulillah. Semuanya.
Dapet sekolah. Dapet dokter gigi, dapet desain produk industri.
Bener-bener seneng banget, ga bisa gambarin betapa senengnya gw dengan kata-kata.
Ya, pada akhirnya, gw ambil adalah Desain Produk Industri Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember :)

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Hari-hari gila itu udah selesai. Udah selesai.
Udah ngga deg-degan phobia nunggu pengumuman di internet,
Bisa tidur nyenyak sekarang,
Bisa makan enak,
Tapi tantangan yang selanjutnya bakal dateng, yaitu kehidupan kuliah di kota lain. Tanpa ortu yang selalu melebarkan tangannya buat meluk gw dan rumah yang superduper nyaman.
Gw harus mandiri.

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

Berjuang, belajar di kota orang bukan cuma buat gw sendiri. Tapi biat ngebahagiain ayah, ibu dan keluarga gw.
Ninggalin serepetan masa lalu, yah, sebut saja move on.
Ninggalin semua hal-hal yang udah memanjakan gw selama 18 tahun hidup di Jakarta.
Memulai hidup mandiri.

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

Hari-hari gila itu udah lewat. Udah selesai.
Sekarang waktunya bebenah, memulai lembaran buat hidup yang lebih menantang.
Nggak lama lagi, kehidupan itu bakalan mulai.

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that

Mungkin maksudnya orang tua gw nggak minta lebih. Cuma supaya gw sungguh-sungguh, nggak main-main dan sukses kedepannya.
Pokoknya intinya bikin mereka bangga.

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
'Cause here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
