Tumbuh dewasa itu menyakitkan. Jon Jon mengakuinya terang-terangan di I See You, lalu menyanyikannya sambil tancap gas.
Liriknya cemas, racikannya justru riang. Lapisan synthesizer yang renyah ditumpuk di atas detak drum yang mantap dan disiplin, sementara gitar elektrik merajut tekstur tipis-tipis supaya ruangnya tidak terasa steril. Ada denyut Pop Rock yang lapang di sana, dengan sedikit kabut dream pop menggantung di pinggirnya. Vokalnya melodius, dan harmoni di belakangnya menebalkan cerita tanpa menenggelamkannya. Kita dibuat mengangguk-anggukkan kepala justru ketika liriknya sedang membicarakan rasa takut.
Saya tidak bisa menjelaskan kenapa kombinasi itu bekerja. Pokoknya bekerja.
“Mom and Dad their blooming grey,” nyanyinya di tengah lagu. Tata bahasanya agak berantakan (belum lagi soal fastly), dan justru di situ ia terdengar jujur.
Hanya saja, bagian akhirnya sedikit ragu-ragu. Ia seperti orang yang sudah pamit tapi masih berdiri di depan pintu.
I See You adalah gubahan senyum-sambil-gemetar yang menemani kita menua pelan-pelan.
Lirik Lagu Jon Jon – I See You
I see you Running in a forest far away I see you Tripping over words that you didn’t say We’ve seemed to Replay our thoughts from yesterday It’s up to Us to forget it and fade away Yeah Staring at the sunset And indeed I find release That I wouldn’t get if I was by myself Life is moving so fast Mom and Dad their blooming grey And looking back at The life God gave Ain’t it bittersweet That the time keeps rolling on (where is it all going) Things are changing so fastly Right up under me Livin' fever dreams (echoes) Grasping fading leaves (echoes) Still I’m moving on (echoes) Shouldn’t You Yeah Shouldn’t You Growing up Comes with pain Its necessary But don’t you believe The weight you bear You cannot carry Be strong Stand tall Be strong Stay calm I see you Running in a forest far away I see you Tripping over words that you didn’t say We’ve seemed to Replay our thoughts of yesterday It’s up to Us to forget it and fade away I would be lying if I said I wasn’t terrified Mirror staring at me showing me my younger life (You should) Take a look at yourself Don’t let fear take hold Just gotta have a little faith What’s lies ahead in the future I can’t wait to see Kaleidoscopic pretty shrouded in a mystery Get away Misery Life is a symphony Just gotta have a little faith
