Lirik 'Drifting Away' vouga, Hidupkan Nuansa Musik Elektronik era 80an

MerahPutih.com - Proyek solo dari musisi asal Swiss Samuel Vouga yaitu vouga belum lama ini merilis single perdana berjudul Drifting Away yang kental akan suasana synth-pop/rock dan sentuhan musik elektronik modern ala Prancis, bayangkan rilisan label rekaman Kitsuné yang keluar pada dekade ‘80-an.

“Kini saya hanya menciptakan lagu yang ingin saya dengar, dan ternyata itu melibatkan banyak synth. Kecintaan saya terhadap synth datang dari mendengarkan banyak lagu Prince,” terang vouga.

Sementara itu, dalam konteks lirik, lagu ini memuat metafora untuk menggambarkan perasaan tak berdaya dan tanpa tujuan yang pernah dialami oleh vouga pribadi. Seperti tertuang pada lirik refrain: “Drifting away on an empty shell/This is the story that we never tell/Drifting away cause it hurts like hell.”

Lirik Lagu Drifting Away vouga

Drifting on the ocean

And beyond the waves

Over the horizon

Lies a broken day

Is this truly what we are

Oh, you can't be serious

We could only go so far

As the wind will take us

Drifting away on an empty shell

This is a story that we never tell

Drifting away cause we hurt like hell

Drifting away on an empty shell

This is a story that we'll never sell

Drifting away cause we hurt like hell

Drifting on the ocean

And beneath the waves

There's a void that beckons

Nothing in the way

Late at night I've been dreaming

Of all the things I'd come to miss

If I decided on a fine day

To just jump into the abyss

Drifting away on an empty shell

This is a story that we never tell

Drifting away cause we hurt like hell

Drifting away on an empty shell

This is a story that we'll never sell

Drifting away cause we hurt like hell

Is it a light that's shining through

Maybe the chance of a rescue

If you come for me, I'll come for you

I'll come for you

Yeah

I'll come for you

Yeah

Drifting away on an empty shell

This is a story that we never tell

Drifting away cause we hurt like hell

Drifting away on an empty shell

This is a story that we'll never sell

Drifting away cause we hurt like hell
