My Old Controller – Ghosts

Antrean kasir, seorang ibu yang menangis, senin yang lesu, tatapan marah orang-orang di jalan. My Old Controller menumpuk potongan hari biasa itu di Ghosts, lalu menyela setiap barisnya dengan pertanyaan yang sama, “Where are you?”

Bunyinya tidak ikut murung. Gitar dan ketukannya bergerak rapat, temponya bersemangat, dan ia terus melaju tanpa sempat berhenti untuk meratap. Racikan folk rock ini membuat pertanyaan getir di liriknya terasa ringan dikunyah. Kita diajak mengangguk-anggukkan kepala sambil ditanya apakah dunia sedang kehilangan arah.

Reff menjawabnya setengah yakin. “Are we losing the plot? I hope not”, nyanyinya, lalu ia menawarkan sesuatu yang sederhana, kayu bakar untuk perapian. Ada kehangatan yang dijaga di situ, sekecil apa pun.

Menjelang akhir, single ini menyebut dunia sebagai pulau yang dihuni hantu, dan baru di sana judulnya masuk akal. Satu baris di reff terakhir juga bergeser diam-diam, dari kita yang kehilangan akal menjadi aku seorang. Saya suka geseran kecil itu lebih dari yang bisa saya jelaskan.

Lalu orang yang dicari sepanjang Ghosts, sebenarnya ia di mana?

Lirik Lagu My Old Controller – Ghosts

Grocery lines a mother cries as dusk descending into night alright
Where are you?
Monday blues and morning rust all melt away with human touch its true
Where are you?

Are we losing our way? Are we losing our minds?
Are we losing the plot? I hope not
We could weather the storm get lost in desire
We’ve got a good thing
Some wood for the fire

Angry stares nobody cares the freaks are out they’re shouting at the moon
Where are you?
Gold is lust they lied to us and all of this will end for us too soon
Where are you?

Are we losing our way? Are we losing our minds?
Are we losing the plot? I hope not
We could weather the storm get lost in desire
We’ve got a good thing
Some wood for the fire

In a world so cold
Do we wanna be alone?
On an island of ghosts
Everywhere I go

Are we losing our way? Am I losing my mind?
Are we losing the plot? I hope not
We could weather the storm, get lost in desire
We’ve got a good thing
Some wood for the fire
