To Me You're Perfect
Let them say what they say
Let them smile their condescending way
To me you're perfect
Let them laugh and mock
Close your ears, ignore their talk
To me you're perfect
Look within
And see the beauty
That nobody else can see
Don't be shy, don't be mad
Don't you cry, don't be sad
You're beautiful as you are
And to me you're perfect

To Me You're Perfect
thank you
I guess the journey ended too soon
We have only scaled a few peaks thus far
And there's many more to go
And a few valleys too
But we'll move on nonetheless
The road is still long ahead, neverending
Thank you for being part of this great adventure
A Better Place
A Better Place
All the times that I made you sad
All the times that I made you mad
Came back to haunt me today
When you said you were going away
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Nothing that I do will repay you
Nothing that I say will be okay
Cos you came and told me
That you can no longer stay
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
May you go to a better place
Somewhere where there's no pain
Where beautiful things await
And the angels know your name
There's a better place for you somewhere
A heaven full of love and care
For people who lived their lives believing
That there's some good in everything
And I will wipe away these tears on my face
Cos I know you're in a better place
The Bend
The Bend
The bend round the road
Where we..
Used to meet
Used to walk
Used to laugh
Used to run
Used to say goodbye
And as the hand of time moved along
So did we..
All forgotten
All covered in soot
All memories
All haunting
All shadows of the past
I passed the bend today
And I..
Reminisced
Smiled
Sighed
Dreamed
Teared
And I turned away..
from Yesterday
Fake Plastic People
Fake Plastic People
Fake plastic people
Planting fake plastic trees
I can see through you
Fake plastic people
Smiling fake plastic smiles
I'm laughing at you
Fake plastic people
Acting high and mighty
Proud of their emptiness
Fake plastic people
Will melt away
And resume
Their fake plastic lives
Anak Muda
Anak Muda
Hamba anak muda
Masih mencari jalan
Masih mencari erti
Hamba anak muda
Mudah dilenturi
Mudah dipengaruhi
Hamba anak muda
Makin hari makin tua
Makin hari ditelan masa
Hamba anak muda
Masih dibuai mimpi
Masih dibelai lagi
Hamba anak muda
Mudah putus asa
Mudah syakwasangka
Hamba anak muda
Makin hari makin tua
Makin hari ditelan masa
Akhirnya hamba pergi
Akhirnya hamba mati
Akhirnya hamba sedari
Akhirnya hamba mengerti
Akhirnya hamba mengerti
Akhirnya hamba mengerti
I Have Grown Up
I Have Grown Up
Screw all my role models and heroes
They're only humans; never perfect
I'll live my life the way I want
And die with a smile upon my face
I have thrown away the pedestals
Everyone is equal before my eyes
I see all the warts
That I've never seen before
I have grown up.
We all want someone to shout for
Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore
But your heroes aren't what they seem
When you've been where we've been
Arctic Monkeys - Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?
A Face to Remember
A Face to Remember
Scribbling on the wall
To pass the time
Browsing through pages
Line after line
Searching in vain
For a long lost name
Happiness abounds
When friendship is found
Labeling pictures for posterity
Remembering the memories
Of days gone by
The groups I've been in
The events I've missed
Someday this will all just be a dream
A footnote in time
Just another lost face
In a collector's album
Smirk
Smirk
Skies may fall
Planets may collide
Volcanoes may erupt
Chaos may reign
Despair may set
Tears which have drowned the Sahara
Mountains that trembled under the strain
But the human will remains strong
Is this all you've got?
Hard Times
Hard Times
Nobody likes hard times
But such is life
Hard times will make clear
What's in the bottom layer
And we'll see the difference
Between coal and diamond
Nobody likes hard times
But such is life
True Love
True Love
If I I could tell you just one final thing
It's that I've always loved you all this time
Though the words I say now won't mean a thing
Like hoping water would turn into wine
I never make a promise I can't keep
But I'll make an exception for you now
If there are nights where you can't fall asleep
Call me and I'll be there for you somehow
Loving you is bitter sweet
A delicious painful treat
Like wet rain in the sunshine
But it's a feeling divine
If I could go back in time
I'll give myself a few tips
Like how you love lemon lime
And adore potato chips
No vegetables for you
And no cigarrette smoke too
You love everything blue
Like the laces of your shoe
But now you have gone away to a better place
And I'm left here alone with my thoughts and sorrow
I still bear the memories I cannot erase
Heaven knows if there'll be a better tomorrow
So as I continue on this journey of life
I try to be positive and think good thoughts
Hey, at least I survived and I am still alive
Alas, true love is not something which can be bought
Note: As per Ivan's suggestion, I've changed some parts of the poem to be more 'passive', haha.. I think it's a bit better now. And gender neutral too! haha..
Antara Mimpi Dan Nyata
Antara Mimpi Dan Nyata
Wahai saudagar mimpi
Izinkan saya berbicara
Buat seketika
Sekejap sahaja
Bukakan mata
Dunia ini indah
Mimpi hanya permainan belaka
Kita harus mencari, saudara
Keindahan tidak menjelma
Selain kepada mereka
Yang berilmu
Yang berusaha
Dan mahu menerima
Bangun, saudara
Sudah terlalu lama kita terlena
Ayuh, saudara
Tiada guna kita terus bersengkang mata
Matahari sudah menjelma
Kemudian terbenam
Satu hari lagi terlepas
Tetapi kita masih terlena
Kita ketinggalan, saudara
Kerana mimpi bukan realiti
Kita tersalah tumpu dunia
Kita tersalah tumpu dunia
Baik, saudara mahu tidur
Penat, kata saudara
Jika begitu
Izinkan saya
Berundur sahaja...
BANGUNLAH SAUDARA!!!
I Wish I Was Like You
how i wished i was like you
no preconceptions
no premonitions
you are free
you follow your heart
unbounded by society
you danced
sang
shouted
wondered
rolled on the floor
and it feels so natural
may your light shine the world
dedicated to the little girl who came on the train and innocently waved hello to me, before finding a pole and began circling it for her whole train journey.
Dear Brother (Poem)
Dear Brother
Dear brother
You ain't like what you was before
You're talking a different story
Whistling a mysterious tune unconsciously
Please brother stop acting provocatively
You're bringing shame upon our family
Dear brother
You ain't seeing reality no more
Something is wrong somewhere deep inside
You're raving and attempting suicide
A martyr doesn't blow himself up alright
He stands his ground, fights with all his might
Dear brother
You ain't never gonna win this 'war'
Your methods are cruel and wrong
And you will find before too long
That you were wrong all along
Yes, you were wrong all along
Dear brother
You ain't my brother no more
Our Father did not teach us hate
Murdering innocents does not make us great
Come back brother before it's too late
This is all not part of your 'fate'
Wind
I am but a gust of wind
Blowing gently through the night
I'll be gone by the day
I do not stay, nay
For that is not my nature
I'll do what I must do
But I'll be on my way
So close your eyes
And enjoy my presence
For I will not be here long
And all that will be left
are memories of me...
Stop That's My Seat
Stop That's My Seat
What's up with all the aunties and uncles?
Who scramble into the train it's such a debacle
I gotta close my eyes it's such a crying shame
To watch the greedy looks on their faces
And the worst part is, you bring your children along
You teach them winning at all cost is the law of the land
For goodness sake, it's just a stupid seat on the train
If you can't stand for 20 mins, then get a bloody wheelchair
It's not like Singapore is the size of USA
Here, if you want to sit down so much
Have my seat, I know you also paid the ticket price
Can't stand the smug look on their faces
When they've managed to rush in and elbow people outta their way
And get that 100 million dollar seat
The smirk, ugh
Like what, you got a seat, now you're the king of the world?
Step back, step back
The train's not even stopped
And you're standing here blocking the door
Waiting to enter, with anticipation on your face
Like waiting for the starter gun in an Olympic race
For goodness sake, let the people inside come out!
You bitch when its the other way around
So practice what you preach, you assclown!
My legs hurt you said, I need a seat real bad
I can't stand all the way for the next 20 mins
Well yeah? I would have believed your stupid excuses
If I didn't just see you sprint and hurdle the masses
Just to get to any empty seat with your name on it
Oh, disappointed now I see?
There's no empty seat left for you, hehe
Thank you for that moment of comic
Now if you please, allow me to pretend and mimic
That I'm falling asleep so that I won't have to give up my seat to you!
It's not that I'm mean or something
But it's so damn obvious to see
That this is a sport and achievement to you
You don't need the seat, it's a game yeah it's a game
And I think it's a damn shame
That you've been reduced to this
Might as well make full use of your talent
Be a musical chair professional, I think you'll be a billionaire
Here Today
Lynching in America occurred a mere 100 years ago, during the time of your great-grandparents.
Here Today
Well I was lying in my bed
And these thoughts came to my head
I'm not trying to impress
Sometimes my mind is just a mess
But have you ever wondered
About those little things in life
Like where would you be today
If you were born as someone else?
What if I was born in Bosnia or Calcutta
Would I be here today? Would I be here today?
Would I even see my parents before they pass away?
Would they be here today? Would they be here today?
If I was born in another different time and different place
Would I choose the same religion even though I'm a different race?
If I was a little girl instead of a little boy
Would I be here today? Would I be here today?
Think about it
Would I be here today?
If I was blind, if I was deaf, if I was somebody else
Would I be here today? Would I be here today?
If I was a black man in old America
Would I be here today? Would I be here today?
If I was a Jew in World War Two
Would I be here today? Would I be here today?
A billion different lives
A billion different souls
We are living our lives
Trying to reach our goals
But spare a moment to think
About these little things in life
Would you have made the same decisions?
Would you have the very same intentions?
Would you be here today?
Syawal (2007)
Syawal
Syawal kali ini tak seindah yang sudah
Terasa sesuatu yang tidak kena, tidak enak dirasa
Berlinang di fikiran...
Baru kurung berwarna-warni dan senyuman plastik
Menjadi benteng perasaan, benteng hati
Yang sebak dimamah pilu...
Namun aku redha
InsyaAllah semuanya akan kembali
Menjadi sediakala...
Floating
Floating
I'm just floating along with you
You who understands me most
You who understands me best
Even though we have never met before
But something in your eyes
When I looked at them
Tells me that you understand
Everything about me
More than other people will ever do
A sense of warmness filled me
In a way I have never felt before
I do not know how long this will last
But gosh, this moment feels so amazing
Right now, this very moment
And I'm lost in this delicious feeling of contentment
And I don't care if this is real or not
Because I'm feeling so good
I don't want it to stop
As I sit beside you in silence
I feel all my life unraveling
Nothing is a secret to you
Nothing is hidden from me to you
I have never felt so comfortable before in my life
As I looked at you
I wanted to ask
Where have you been all my life?
And suddenly, I realised
You had been there all along...
