Maya Allaire – Forbidden Fire

Di reff Forbidden Fire, Maya Allaire menuduh godaannya sebagai “a firefighter committing arson”. Tuduhan paling jenaka yang saya dengar bulan ini, dan ia dinyanyikan dengan suara yang sama nakalnya.

Lagu ini tidak membuang waktu. Ketukan drum yang rapat dan bas yang memegang tempo langsung menyambut sebelum vokal Maya Allaire masuk, lalu harmoni vokal melebar begitu bagian puncak tiba. Ada aroma koboi yang ganjil di sela-selanya, seolah saloon dari film Western pindah ke kamar tidur seseorang dan lupa membawa kudanya. Bedroom pop yang renyah, santai sekaligus lincah, dan kaki kita susah diam karenanya.

Yang dirayu Forbidden Fire sebenarnya kebiasaan buruk, bukan kekasih. Kita bisa menebak sendiri kebiasaan itu apa (gorengan jam sebelas malam? keranjang belanja daring?), sebab ia memanggilnya kamu, menyalahkannya, lantas menyerah begitu saja. Di ujung lagu, ia malah berseru “pass me the lighter”.

Lagu selesai sebelum ada yang memadamkan apa pun.

Lirik Lagu Maya Allaire – Forbidden Fire

I find it hard to simmer down
when I’m heating up
And you’ve got that light inside your eyes
to electrify
And I keep running everything up a muck
And you let it all ignite

You’re so tempting keep me testing
The lines of right and wrong
It’s so confusing the way you move
It just makes me want you more
You’re a firefighter committing arson
How do I ignore?
I can’t seem to pour
Water on your door
Smoke gets us higher
My forbidden fire
Forbidden fire

So much left unsaid and in my head
So I don’t regret
But you can’t deny you recognize
That you feed the fire
And I’ve got matches sitting in my back pocket

And you let it all ignite

You’re so tempting keep me testing
The lines of right and wrong
It’s so confusing the way you move
It just makes me want you more
You’re a firefighter committing arson
How do I ignore?
I can’t seem to pour
Water on your door
Smoke gets us higher
My forbidden fire
Forbidden fire

We watch the fire getting brighter
As stakes are getting higher
And there’s a bucket we better chuck it
Before we both get burned
I can’t seem to pour
Water on your door
So pass me the lighter
My forbidden fire
Forbidden fire
Forbidden fire
