Touchable Songs - Part 1

There are certain songs, when listened carefully and when thinking of the lyrics critically, coupled with your mood at that time, can make you feel happy and even sad. A sudden sad, that is...

Now, here is the list of the songs that can makes me sad, and even cry, at times:

1. Bleeding in Love & Better in Time - Leona Lewis

These two songs contain a very deep meaning and touching lyrics....and yet sometimes, i asked, whether my heart is currently bleeding in love, and whether i will get better as time passes by.

This is part of the song "Bleeding in Love" that i like:

"Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding in love"

After listening to this song, i have to say that old and painful memories keep coming back to memory. To those who have cut my heart open, lemme just say that i now have recovered, but i can't forget the pain that i have endured during the process.

2. Teringin - Shima

The word "teringin" can be loosely translated as "desire" or "something that you wants". In this song, the desire described is love. A betrayed love, that is...you see, the singer is trying to convey that "sometimes, i desire of getting close to you..., and sometime, my heart beats so fast, and it can get lonely too..."

Oh god, this song has a very meaningful meaning...

3. Ingkar - Bunga Cinta Lestari

This song is about losing your love...here's a portion of this song which illustrates what i mean: "Disaat cinta tercipta
Semestinya kumerasa
Dikala hasrat mendalam
Semestinya kuberbalas Dari hati kini kusadari
Tak semestinya kuberkasih
Jika hati tak dapat berbagi
Baiknya rasa itu tersimpan dalam" which i loosely translated as follows:

"Ever since love was created
I have always enjoyed the feeling that it has to offer
Sometimes, my wish is too deep
Which I must complement it with my life

Now i know from my heart that,
I may not necessarily love someone
if my heart could not afford it
then i think it is best that it is kept in my heart only"

4. Permintaan Hati & Ruang Rindu - Letto

The gist of the former song is succintly put by Letto in the following words:

"Dengarkanlah permintaan hati yang teraniaya sunyi
Dan berikanlah arti pada hidupku
Yang terhempas yang terlepas
Pelukanmu bersamamu dan tanpamu aku hilang selalu
Bersamamu dan tanpamu aku hilang selalu"

which i loosely translated as follows:

"Please listen to the request of my victimized and lonely heart,
And give me a meaning to my life
Which is currently shattered and loosed
Wish that i could hug you, and without you, i'll be lost
I wanted to be with you, and without you, i'll be lost"

While, in the latter song, it merely talks about meeting up in a love space.

5. Last Night on Earth & I Can't Break it to My Heart - Delta Goodrem

This is the part of the song that i like the most:

"If tomorrow never comes I want you to know right now that I
I'm gonna love you until the day I die
If tomorrow falls asleep can you hold me first
I'm gonna love you like it's the last night on earth
Like it's the last night on earth"

And for the latter song, this is the part that i like the most:

"But if i still believe you love me
Maybe i'll survive
So i tell myself you're coming home
Like you've done a million times
And if it's alright
I'll still be loving you
'cause i can't break it to my hear"

Oh God, whenever i listened this song during the night time, i'll feel sad....
The lyrics are certainly a meaningful one!
