Sondre Lerche – Two Way Monologue
Mum
All the other options that you had in mind startle me
`Cause I'm optionless and turkey-free and blind
Pa
Won't you listen and I'll let you in on this
Blind me!
Won't you listen I'll reduce advice to dust
Oh no!
I shouldn't have to spell my name
Ma!
If it's worth the made up smiles, to quiet fights
Oh mother!
It is hard not to look in the mirror's eye
I have come to this while you have come along
So it's alright if you change your mind the other way around again
I shouldn't have to spell my name
So start the two way monologues that speak your mind
We're talking two way monologues with words that rhyme
We
Can't reclaim the shirts we threw away last twirl
Uncurl the note-in-pocket, personal brochures that dust
Machine-washed, that's how paper rusts
Days you spend wanting some of Michael Landon's grace
Strike back, now they shape your life as stony as his face
Oh no! I shouldn't have to spell his name
So start the two way monologues that speak your mind
Start the two way monologues with words that rhyme
Start the two way monologues that speak your mind
We're talking two way monologues
We were chasing rabbits on the hill
And that prairie-life was great, but never real
`Cause we never saw no rabbits out there, ever, no, not once
All we did was put a fire up and watch it burn for months
And I miss the sound of stairs and walls and maladjusted doors
And too little space for holding all the soldiers and the war
All the other options that you had in mind startle me
`Cause I'm optionless and turkey-free and blind
Pa
Won't you listen and I'll let you in on this
Blind me!

Ma, semua ide yang kau
lontarkan Sungguh mengejutkanku
Karena aku terlalu santai
dan tidak mau pusing
Pa, maukah kau mendengarkan
dahulu kalau mau ikutan dalam hal ini
Bodohnya diriku
Kalau ga juga, aku ga akan
ambil pusing kau mau mengoceh apapun
harusnya aku tak mengeja
namaku
Ma, sampai perlu bersenyum
palsu untuk meredakan keributan
Oh, ibuku
Sesulit itukah menatap mata
di cermin itu
Aku akan turun tangan kau
boleh ikut bersamaku
Tapi tidak apa, kalau kau
berubah pikiran juga
Harusnya aku tak mengeja
namaku
Jadi bicarahlah pada diri
sendiri secara dua arah untuk menyuarakan pikiranmu
Kita bicara pada diri
sendiri secara dua arah dengan kata-kata yang berirama
Kita, takkan bisa mengambil
kembali kaos yg sudah kita buang
Meluruskan kertas catatan di
brosur yg mulai rontok
Karena masuk ke mesin cuci
Hari hari yang kau habiskan
mendapatkan pujian dari Michael Landon
Serang balik, saat ini
mereka mencoba membuatmu muram seperti dirinya
Oh tidak, harusnya aku tak
mengeja namaku
Jadi mulailah bicara pada
diri sendiri dengan dua arah untuk menyuarakan pikiranmu
Mulai bicara sendiri dua
arah dengan irama
Kita bicara sendiri dari dua
sisi
Kita sedang mengejar kelinci
di bukit
Semua kehidupan padang
rumput itu keren tapi tidak nyata
Karena kita tidak pernah
melihat kelinci bahkan seeokorpun
Yang ada kita malah membakar
tempat itu dan menonton kebakarannya berbulan-bulan
Dan betapa aku rindu suara
derit tangga tembok dan engsel pintu yg ga rapih
Dan sedikit tempat menampung
tentara dalam perangKesan:
Lagu ini berkisah tentang seorang pemuda dengan dilema dalam hidupnya dan mencoba bertanya pada dirinya dengan 2 sisi monolog. Lagu ini sungguh berkesan untuk saya terutama saat pertama mendengarkannya kebetulan hidup saya juga mengalami dilema seperti pemuda di dalam lagu ini.
