It’s not easy to be me

Halooo!
Akhirnya ada kesempatan buat ngisi blog ini lagi...
Kali ini aku mau cerita soal salah satu lagu favoritku dari Five For
Fighting yang judulnya Superman. Lagu ini bercerita tentang kegalau-an seorang Superman yang harus
bersembunyi sebagai sosok Clark Kent. Uda pada pernah dengar? Bukan lagu
baru si... tapi buat aku, lagu ini indah dan liriknya juga sarat akan makna...
Superman
I can't
stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
It's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy, or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for a dream
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it's not easy
Its not easy to be me
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
It's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy, or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for a dream
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it's not easy
Its not easy to be me
It’s not easy to be me
Salah satu kalimat dilirik lagu ini yang benar-benar ngena banget ama
aku... ga mudah untuk jadi seorang Rendy, dan aku yakin ga mudah juga menjadi
kalian para superman atau supergirl yang mungkin saat ini lagi baca tulisan
ini... kerap kali kita harus menyamar menjadi sosok yang bukan kita,
menyembunyikan segala masalah dan kesedihan demi profesionalitas dalam bekerja... menyembunyikan rasa sakit dan kecewa agar terlihat lebih tegar... sering kali
kita mengalah, menyimpan mimpi demi kebahagiaan orang yang kita sayangi... terkadang kita harus menyamar, menahan diri, karena kita tahu keegoisan kita dapat
menyusahkan orang lain... dan itu ga mudah, ga mudah buat ngalah... kita juga
ingin orang mengerti kita, mau menerima kita apa adanya... kita juga manusia
biasa yang punya masalah, kita juga manusia biasa yang punya mimpi... tapi sekali
lagi kita harus mengalah demi mereka yang kita sayangi :)
Warm hug,
Rendy Willyanto
