Water Song<br />

Song/Lyric: Dee Lestari<br />

Icy cold, that’s how they see<br />

I’m hiding my crying<br />

Freedom <strong>of</strong> fire is not what I meant to be<br />

Not till you came and dived in me<br />

Will you hold on?<br />

Hold it on…<br />

And how I flow was meant to be<br />

The light <strong>of</strong> my halo<br />

See how it shines whenever I’m dying to be<br />

A feather <strong>of</strong> arrow<br />

Fly by, high<br />

Will you hold on?<br />

Hold it…<br />

Only water would wash my soul<br />

And the water could sing my song<br />

But it’s you that I’ll keep inside<br />

So stay beside<br />

A spark <strong>of</strong> my spotlight will brighten your way<br />

Makes it crystal and clear<br />

The feeling you feel<br />

Freedom <strong>of</strong> fire is now what I meant to be<br />

So watch how I’m burning<br />

Deep and alive<br />

Will you hold on?<br />

Hold it on…<br />

Only water…<br />

Only water would wash my soul<br />

Only water could sing my song<br />

But it’s you that I’ll keep inside<br />

It’s you I want to stay beside


Simply<br />

Song/Lyric: Dee Lestari<br />

I stand here with a thousand words and tons <strong>of</strong> hopes<br />

But blankness is the place they ended up the most<br />

I’m lost in the frequency <strong>of</strong> the oddities<br />

It feels so hard to breathe<br />

I’m like a hapless piece <strong>of</strong> symphony that no one really cares to hear<br />

Chorus<br />

You simply inspire me<br />

Collide into me<br />

But no one’s there<br />

So why don’t you hold me<br />

Why don’t you move me<br />

So I know you care<br />

I wonder how far to go<br />

To simply have you and simply keep you<br />

And now, when everything has been said and done<br />

In silence I can only wish I am the one<br />

I’m floating like a bubble that will pop and be gone<br />

Just trying to make you see<br />

The simplicity <strong>of</strong> lock and key<br />

And how you’re never ever there to free me<br />

Narration:<br />

From all <strong>of</strong> the thousand thunders<br />

Why was it you who struck me?<br />

The sky is cracking and nothing can patch the leak<br />

Why was it me who dripped from the broken horizon,<br />

gliding against the wall and never be rescued?<br />

From all <strong>of</strong> the thousand places<br />

Why was it me you chose to love,<br />

Why was it me?


Uncommon<br />

Song/Lyric: Dee Lestari<br />

I want to show, that I…<br />

I’m the rainbow<br />

I’m the star that fell on you<br />

But you don’t see<br />

You think <strong>of</strong> me as an ordinary canary<br />

Well, I am different<br />

I am solid gold and only one I’ll be<br />

Only sing for you to hear<br />

For just one pair <strong>of</strong> ears<br />

Shoot me with your rubberbands and take me with a laugh<br />

But somehow I know the things that were never written in the sky<br />

Give me a little trust<br />

Have faith in what you haven’t seen<br />

Cause I’m afraid that I’ll be as you said:<br />

… Common, ordinary, unspecial …<br />

So look at me with your real eyes<br />

Then you’d never be so foolishly<br />

Leaving me on the way<br />

‘Thought you’re right, but no<br />

I’m still the only one<br />

One and only<br />

Who never gives in a commonly loving way<br />

To someone I see so uncommonly<br />

Likes me…<br />

‘Wish you’d never be so foolishly<br />

Leaving me on the way<br />

For someone I see<br />

So common, ordinary, unspecial<br />

Who cannot see an uncommonly loving way<br />

from someone like me:<br />

… Uncommon …<br />

I am the only one<br />

Did I wake you?<br />

I am the only one<br />

for thee


Plastic Cup<br />

Song/Lyric: Dee Lestari<br />

Hi, feels like years since we last talked<br />

And kissed each other’s favorite spot<br />

You must still taste like clove cigarettes<br />

And the way you read the paper, no one ever was so graceful<br />

And I… I’m a walking diary<br />

Pages full <strong>of</strong> memory<br />

Blindness caught me, as they say<br />

And people’s trying to safe my day<br />

I… never thought I could be right<br />

So this is the real matter, this is the real battle…<br />

They try to wake me up<br />

Don’t I have all the rights<br />

To keep my life in circle with no one else entangled<br />

Hi, don’t you miss us holding hands<br />

Sat by the apartment’s window pane<br />

You must still think the rain is silver<br />

I watched you lit the candle, no one looked so good in boxer<br />

And I… I just look for my missing part<br />

How come it could be so hard?<br />

All I get is blasphemy<br />

Peace is such a luxury<br />

I… never thought love could be so true<br />

This is the real challenge now, welcome to the battle…<br />

They try to wake me up<br />

Don’t I have all the rights<br />

To keep my life in circle with no one else entangled<br />

Try to lift me up<br />

Cause I, I’m about to give up<br />

So stir me like your c<strong>of</strong>fee, and keep me in that plastic cup<br />

A milestone or a brain disease<br />

Name it for my reveries<br />

Love is here to purify what people’s trying to falsify<br />

I… always know the reason why<br />

It’s you I’ll never sacrifice<br />

Better have me crucified…<br />

Chorus.<br />

… Just stir me like your c<strong>of</strong>fee …<br />

… And keep me in that plastic cup …


Fire and Ice<br />

Song/Lyric: Dee Lestari<br />

An angel I used to be<br />

Cast away your fears, your rusting tears<br />

I follow till the downfall, and bring you joy<br />

I should be right, I should be true<br />

Closer we used to be<br />

If time might change me, chemically<br />

Till I define with some plastic mind<br />

Have I lost you, or did I have you?<br />

Chorus:<br />

Kala malam tinggalkan<br />

Keinginan, kenangan<br />

Angin menangisimu…<br />

Did I bring fire… or did I freeze you?<br />

For I should be right, I should be true<br />

Strangers we both can be<br />

Cause love can’t quench you more than your due<br />

While I’m somewhere between the two:<br />

Will I be the one, or will I be the none?<br />

Will I be the one… will I be the none?<br />

Should I be here… should I be gone?<br />

Show me the way out <strong>of</strong> your soul<br />

Cause I’m falling farther in<br />

And I can’t let go<br />

Trapped inside my fear <strong>of</strong> the fire and ice you made<br />

But I keep coming back here<br />

Coming back here<br />

Will I be the one… or will I be the none?<br />

Shouldn’t I be right… shouldn’t I be true?<br />

Show me the way into your soul<br />

Cause I’m falling farther in<br />

But I won’t let go<br />

Trapped inside my love <strong>of</strong> the fire and ice you’re bring me now<br />

Dan ku terus berlari, dan ku terus bersembunyi<br />

Dan ku terus berlari… menangisimu<br />

Keep coming back here…


The End<br />

Song/Lyric: Dee Lestari<br />

Are we ready, if this is the end?<br />

The last <strong>of</strong> our scene<br />

With a starry evening screen<br />

And no line’s here to say<br />

We’re just pain on display<br />

Who can’t put on a smile<br />

Am we ready, if this is the end?<br />

And you and I were just seams in a grander scheme<br />

And no one’s here to blame<br />

So why be ashamed?<br />

Mmm… still I can’t put on a smile<br />

Mmm…<br />

Am I ready?<br />

Cause if this is fate then I won’t escape<br />

Let the truth release the chains<br />

Though I cannot block the pain<br />

From entering our veins<br />

Are you ready?<br />

We’re close to the end<br />

I’ve chosen a way without you portrayed<br />

So be ready, cause this is the end<br />

But I can’t stop the pain<br />

So just hold on…<br />

Mmm… still I can’t put on a smile<br />

Mmm…<br />

You’re not alone<br />

Just hold on


<strong>Out</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shell</strong><br />

Song/Lyric: Dee Lestari<br />

Your moonless horizon so my tide is lost<br />

Teach me to cope with the heat <strong>of</strong> some burning lust<br />

No infatuation, I’m invidious<br />

In this naked soul, there’s nothing but a hole<br />

Share me the pain in your swollen vein<br />

Thousands <strong>of</strong> suns in your crowded orbit, and you’ll add more<br />

I have a stormy desire to be as delirious<br />

With some suicidal blindness, crossing the edges<br />

Chorus:<br />

If you’re sky high<br />

Then there’s no one to blame<br />

If you’re burned down<br />

You won’t feel the flame<br />

But I’m cold and sore<br />

… out <strong>of</strong> shell …<br />

I’m soaked and I long to complete<br />

(the incomplete)<br />

Read to me lines in highfalutin’ speech<br />

Do I have to kneel down to show genuflection, gallantries?<br />

Well, wasn’t that the price to pay: being ridiculous<br />

Stay in a love nest, rush to the edges<br />

I’d stop you from falling but you will stop at nothing…<br />

But now I’ll stop at nothing<br />

Cause I’m sky high and there’s no one to blame<br />

I’m burned down but I don’t feel the flame<br />

I was cold and sore<br />

I’m out <strong>of</strong> my shell<br />

And it’s you that I long to complete<br />

… out <strong>of</strong> shell …<br />

Hey, it’s you that I long to complete


It’s Me<br />

Song/Lyric: Dee Lestari<br />

Come with me, my sweet<br />

We’ve got a heaven there to seek<br />

A little place in the universe<br />

Where stillness can be vigorous<br />

And our silence is so luminous…<br />

An epic is being told<br />

About how honesty unfolds<br />

And kills all the common wills<br />

She’s peering through the murk<br />

For she’s too tired to lurk…<br />

Chorus<br />

It’s me, from the Castle <strong>of</strong> Freedom<br />

It’s me, on a path <strong>of</strong> my own wisdom<br />

So who’s there that’s willing to love you more<br />

Brave enough to wait forever more<br />

It’s me…<br />

Come with me my sweet, we’ve got a heaven there to seek…<br />

They said it’s a Calvary<br />

With millions who disagree<br />

But who’s there that comes out <strong>of</strong> the dark<br />

In a battle to win the light so the world has a better sight…<br />

Of me… in my Castle <strong>of</strong> Freedom<br />

It’s me, on a path <strong>of</strong> my own wisdom<br />

So who’s there that’s willing to love you more<br />

Brave enough to wait forever more<br />

It’s me…<br />

So fly like the butterflies, we’ve got nothing to disguise<br />

Fly like the butterflies, we’ve got nothing to disguise…<br />

Just fly like the butterflies…<br />

With me, in my Castle <strong>of</strong> Freedom<br />

With me, on a path <strong>of</strong> my own wisdom<br />

So who’s there that’s willing to love you more<br />

Brave enough to wait forever more<br />

It’s me…<br />

Just fly like the butterflies…
