'Time has stopped before us,
The sky cannot ignore us,
No one can separate us,
For we are all that is left.

The echo bounces off me,
The shadow lost beside me,
There's no more need to pretend,
Cause now I can begin again.'

"The perception that divides you from her
is a lie.
For some reason
you never asked why.

This is not a black and white world,
you can't afford to believe in your side.
This is not a black and white world.

To be alive
I say the colors must swirl,
and I believe
that maybe today,
we will all get to appreciate,
the beauty of gray."

'She has the daylight at her command,
She gives the night its dreams,
She can uncover your darkest fear,
And make you forget you feel it.

But wait just one minute more,
I can see that she's trying to free me,
(Suddenly I know).

She's going to change the world,
But she can't change me.
No she can't, change, me.

Suddenly I can see
everything that's wrong, with me
But what can I do?
I'm the only thing I really have, at all.'

American Life

DEAD BODY
Location: Metropolitan Square, Damansara Perdana

'I'm drinking a Soy latte,
I get a double shotte,
It goes through my body,
And you know I'm satisfied.

I drive my Mini Cooper,
And I'm feeling super-dooper,
Yo they tell I'm a trooper,
And you know I'm satisfied.

I do yoga and Pilates,
And the room is full of hotties,
So I'm checking out the bodies,
And you know I'm satisfied.

I'm digging on the isotopes,
This metaphysics shit is dope,
And if all this can give me hope,
You know I'm satisfied.

I got a lawyer and a manager,
An agent and a chef,
Three nannies, an assistant,
And a driver and a jet,
A trainer and a butler,
And a bodyguard or five,
A gardener and a stylist,
Do you think I'm satisfied?

I'd like to express my extreme point of view,
I'm not Christian and I'm not a Jew,
I'm just living out the American dream,

And I just realised that nothing,

Is what it seems.

Do I have to change my name,
Am I gonna be a star?
Do I have to change my name.'

"Wahai jiwa-jiwa yang tenang,
jangan sekali-kali kamu
mencoba jadi Tuhan
dengan mengadili dan menghakimi.

Bahwasanya kamu
memang tak punya daya dan upaya,
Serta kekuatan untuk menentukan kebenaran yg sejati.

Bukankah kita memang tercipta laki-laki dan wanita,
dan menjadi suku-suku bangsa yang pasti berbeda,
bukankah kita harus saling mengenal dan menghormati,
Bukan untuk saling bercerai berai
dan berperang angkat senjata."

' Fitter, happier, more productive,
comfortable,
not drinking too much,
regular exercise at the gym
(3 days a week).

. . . . . . .

Favors for favors,
fond but not in love,
charity standing orders,
on Sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants),
car wash (also on Sundays).

No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate,
nothing so childish - at a better pace,

. . . . . .

A good memory,
still cries at a good film,
still kisses with saliva.

No longer empty and frantic
like a cat
tied to a stick.'

CAT

'To see you when I wake up,
is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do,
is a three-fold, Utopian dream.

You do something to me that I can't explain,
So would I be out of line,
if I said "I miss you"?

I see your picture,
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
but already I'm wasting away..'

'You're always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art,
Baroque moved you.
Do you love Mozart?
And you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.

Well excuse me!
Cause I've mistaken you for somebody else,
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself.

These foolish games are tearing me,
you tearing me,
you tearing me apart,
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart..'

Meresap ke dalam relung sukmaku,

Coba tuk singkirkan aroma nafas tubuhmu,

Mengalir mengisi laju darahku.'

Why do we push love away..'

'I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative,
No, no, no..

So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
And this woman was singing my song;
"Lover's in love and the other's run away
Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay"
Some of us hover when we weep for the other
who was dying since the day they were born,
Well, well, this is not that
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.

And I thought I'd live forever,
but now I'm not so sure,
You try to tell me that I'm clever,
That won't take me anyhow,
or anywhere with you.

You said that I was naive and
I thought that I was strong,
I thought, "Hey, I can leave, I can leave"
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong,
'cause I..'

Bukan maksudku, bukan inginku
Melukaimu,
sadarkah kau disiniku pun terluka,
Melupakanmu, menepikanmu,
Maafkan aku.

Lupakanlah maki saja diriku,
Bila itu bisa membuatmu kembali bersinar,
Dan berpijar seperti dulu kala.

Caci maki saja diriku,

Such a beautiful mess,

Well I hide all the bruises,
I hide all the damage that's done,
But I'll show how I'm feeling,
until all the feeling has gone.

Well I can't explain, why it's not enough,
Cos I gave it all to you,
And if you leave me now,
Oh just leave me now,
It's the better thing to do.
Well it's time to surrender,
It's too long pretending,
There's no use in trying,
When the pieces don't fit,

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone,
I recommend walking around naked in your living room,
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill),
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach),
Wait until the dust settles.

[ CHORUS ]
You live you learn,
You love you learn,
You cry you learn,
You lose you learn,
You bleed you learn,
You scream you learn.

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
(I certainly, certainly, certainly do),
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at anytime (feel free),
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays),
You wait and see when the smoke clears.

[ Repeat CHORUS ]
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do),
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway),
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend.

You grieve you learn,
You choke you learn,
You laugh you learn,
You choose you learn,
You pray you learn,
You ask you learn,
You live you learn,
