Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Wake up all alone

Mommy daddy's gone, bros all on the side

Friends are on their own, then I pick up my phone

Love left me last year

All alone, that's alright

That's alright

All alone, and that's alright

Well that's alright

Hello friend,

It's about time to aligned our perspectives

My name is Pamungkas,

born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia

and I'm gonna to tell you a story now.

So when I was 18, my family told me that I was half deaf.

I couldn't hear properly and that's how music came into my life.

They had to give me a drum lesson because drum is loud

and as a half deaf kid-

they thought by playing drums that would gave me a glimpse of how it feels to be normal.

So if you think about it, me and music, it's meant to be.

I didn't choose music,

but music chose me.

And since then I learn everything about music until it became the only language that I understand.

I learn how to play the drums and piano and guitar

and songwriting and songwriting leads me to singing.

It was interesting because I grew up as a person, yes,

but I grew up as an artist too, you know.

And with the music thing going on,

people would came to me and tell me that I was cool

and special cause I play music.

It was nice and I believed it, but-

I misunderstood what I do as what I am, you know.

I knew something was wrong with me but

I didn't know what it was, until

I get out and tasted the real world.

I found out that I was just nobody

and there's no such thing as specials

because we are all the same.

And I like that, I like being nobody,

I like being empty glass because that allows me to learn new things everyday.

And I wanted to be that-

I wanted to be that empty glass, but-

again, the thought of being nobody

scared me because in my head- that means

that I'm just gonna let them down

for not being someone they expect me to be.

So what was nice-

is now became a pressure that I have to carry.

And I didn't know what to do

so I pretended to be someone that I'm not, because-

I didn't wanna lose them, I didn't want to be alone,

I didn't wanna lose their trust,

but in the other hand, I wanted to be myself too, you know?

And after years of pretending, I realized that-

they only wants the best for me

and what's best for is for me to be myself.

So I did, I chose to be me

for the first time in my life,

I said to myself; I am what I am and that's good enough.

And when that happens-

all I wanted to do was just-

tell the world.

And because the only language that I understand is music-

I created the album, I wrote it, I sing it, I produced it,

I did every bit of it.

And I put it out

so then you know that I'm ready to start my journey

Gotta walk the talk

and I invite you to do the same.

Are you in?
