MerahPutih.com - Setelah mencuri perhatian melalui lagu-lagu bernuansa emosional dan reflektif dalam album debut The Asylum in My Mind, musisi indie asal Surabaya, Alvin Wardiman, kembali menghadirkan karya terbaru berjudul Love You to Death.
Single tersebut menjadi penanda dimulainya perjalanan menuju album kedua bertajuk Sanctuary of the Heart, yang akan melanjutkan eksplorasi musikal sekaligus narasi personal yang selama ini menjadi ciri khasnya.
Berbeda dengan sejumlah karya sebelumnya yang banyak menyoroti pergulatan batin, kehilangan, dan pencarian makna diri, Love You to Death menawarkan sudut pandang yang lebih hangat dan kontemplatif.
Cinta yang Tetap Bertahan di Tengah Ketidaksempurnaan
Melalui lagu Love You to Death, Alvin mengangkat kisah tentang kasih sayang yang mendalam terhadap orang tua, bahkan ketika hubungan tersebut pernah diwarnai luka, kekecewaan, maupun kesalahan yang terjadi di masa lalu.
Tema tersebut menjadi benang merah yang memperlihatkan bagaimana cinta dan kedekatan keluarga dapat tetap bertahan di tengah berbagai ketidaksempurnaan manusia.

Dalam Love You to Death, Alvin berupaya menyampaikan pemahaman bahwa orang tua pada dasarnya juga merupakan individu yang terus bertumbuh dan belajar sepanjang hidup.
Sebagaimana anak-anak mereka, orang tua tidak selalu memiliki jawaban yang tepat atas setiap persoalan dan tidak luput dari kekeliruan.
Melalui pendekatan yang jujur serta penuh empati, lagu ini menghadirkan refleksi tentang penerimaan, pengampunan, dan kemampuan untuk melihat orang tua sebagai manusia yang memiliki keterbatasan sekaligus kasih sayang yang tulus.

Lirik Lagu Love You to Death - Alvin Wardiman
We were sad and feeling lonely
Even for a while
You were scared and I didn′t even know myself
You were young but I was younger
And maybe for a reason
There's a phase that we can′t understand
Had not realized it was harder on your side
Didn't know how much you loved me as I am
Now I've grown up so I′ll say
Still, I love you all the way
Even when our hearts were scattered too much
I know we′re just meant to be
You've been with me from the start
No matter how it hurts you′ll never fly
Have to say I hate being like you
But I see you in the mirror
'Cause your blood runs in my veins
Therefore I was made from you
Before it′s too late, I'll say I love you to death
Now I know that time is precious
Especially the wasted
And I still remember how we used to love
Had not realized it was harder on your side
Didn′t know how much you loved me as I am
Now I've grown up so I'll say
Still, I love you all the way
Even when our hearts were scattered too much
I know we′re just meant to be
You′ve been with me from the start
No matter how it hurts you'll never fly
Have to say I hate being like you
But I see you in the mirror
′Cause your blood runs in my veins
Therefore I was made from you
Before it's too late, I′ll say I love you to death
Oh, why is it so difficult?
Showing how hard I fell when I lost it all
But I've grown up, so I′ll say
Still, I love you all the way
Even when our hearts were scattered too much
I know we're just meant to be
You've been with me from the start
No matter how it hurts you′ll never fly
Have to say I hate being like you
But I see you in the mirror
′Cause your blood runs in my veins
Therefore I was made from you
Before it's too late, I′ll say I
Before you're gone or I′m away
Before it's too late, I′ll say I love you to death
(Far)
