When Your Life Relates to A Song : "LATHI" by Weird Genius feat Sara Fajira | Toxic Relationships

3 months ago

Hello dear Hivers and all music lovers! How are you doing today? Hopefully you are all doing great. I still want to reminisce a little about music. I invite you to flashback for a few moments. It feels like today's music will never be able to restore the glory of the music of the past. Even so, those of us who were in that era, will always remember the time when music and songs used to be something extraordinary, which we still feel today and for some people.

Before I get to the topic and song that we will explore, I want to tell you a little about my past because it is related to the song that I will discuss. I once had a boyfriend in the past and to this day the memories still linger. At that time I was in college and dating my ex-boyfriend. So, in short, I have an unhealthy relationship with him or what we usually call a toxic relationship. He has a tough, rude, possessive and jealous character. Hmmm... maybe you can get a little picture of it, right?

He always forbade me to be friends with boys, he didn't allow me to have any contact with any guy, even if he was my classmate at college. If he saw me with another man even though it was just chatting then he will be angry with me. I once had a fight with him and he was violent towards me, that time he hit me in the face quite hard. The memories still linger and I can't forget the pain. We often fight over small things, even shouting at each other. I often cried when fighting with him and I actually felt uncomfortable with him but at that time I felt in love with him so I couldn't break the relationship or leave him. I regret that at that time I didn't quickly break up with him and leave him. I feel like my time with him for almost 4 years was a waste. I've heard that it's not easy to end a relationship like this. It was not easy when you experienced it yourself. Trust me!

My story was very related to the song that I will analyze this time, about toxic relationships and you can see for yourself through the song entitled Lathi by Weird Genius feat Sara Fajira. Here it is!

LATHI

I was born a fool
Broken all the rules
Seeing all null
Denying all of the truth

Chorus :
Everything has changed
It all happened for a reason
Down from the first stage
It isn't something we fought for
Never wanted this kind of pain
Turned myself so cold and heartless
But one thing you should know
Kowe ra iso mlayu saka kesalahan Ajining diri ana ing lathi

Pushing through the countless pain
And all I know that this love's a bless and curse
Everything has changed
It all happened for a reason
Down from the first stage
It isn't something we fought for
Never wanted this kind of pain
Turned myself so cold and heartless
But one thing you should know
Kowe ra iso mlayu saka kesalahan Ajining diri ana ing lathi

What do you think the lyrics of the song Lathi mean? The song Lathi is a song that went viral about 3 years ago and is a collaboration song between Weird Genius and Sara Fajira. Both managed to create records on Spotify and were included as the best local songs. Apart from that, this song produces a unique sound. When you play this song, you will feel something different, anti mainstream, because there is a combination of Javanese gamelan music and electronic music. The two are combined and become an extraordinary musical work. Looking at the music video for the song Lathi, maybe we will see that there is something mystical in it. In fact, looking at the meaning of the song has nothing to do with mystical elements.

I took the screenshots above from the music video and that is the sequence of the story of this music video, at first she and her lover were in love but in the end that love turned out to hurt her and left pain, then the woman rebelled and had the courage not to be trapped in her toxic relationship.

One of the meanings that you can take from this song is that it is related to love. In the lyrics it is written that love is a gift and a curse. Love is a relationship that makes one person understand each other. Love also makes two different people complement each other.

However, if in a love relationship there is an unhealthy or detrimental relationship, then love can become a curse. For those of you who are in a relationship, whether in friendship or romance, look again at whether your relationship is healthy or not. If the person or yourself has a negative aura, it's best to stay away from it. If love can produce a perfect relationship, so it is a gift, but on the contrary, love can be a terrible curse that must be avoided or released.

The second deep and positive meaning that I can get from this song is having the courage to break off an unhealthy relationship. If you think there is pain and discomfort in a relationship, the relationship is something that is not worth maintaining. If you experience this or are in a toxic environment, you should get out of there quickly or you yourself will feel the consequences or losses. For that, you have to love yourself, that's something important. Don't get trapped or fall into bad things.

In the chorus of the song, you can get the meaning that someone who has made a mistake cannot escape that shadow. In other words, the action taken will leave an impression on the person who receives it. Apart from that, words are one of a person's honors. In the chorus there are lyrics in Javanese : Kowe ra iso mlayu saka kesalahan ajining diri ana ing lathi means you can’t run away from mistakes that you have talked to others or bad things that came out from your tongue / your words, so you have to maintain good speech or politeness.

The third positive meaning that I can take from Lathi's song is that karma really exists, karma is real. So, don't play around with anything we do or say to other people. We never know whether the other person turns out to be holding pain for us so that we can get the karma, karma from what we have done. What we sow is what we reap, if we sow good things we will reap good things and if we sow bad things we will reap bad things too.

These are some interesting scenes and a little extreme to look at, but quite impressive.

That's all my music content this time, I hope you like the songs I recommend this song to you to check it out! Don't miss it, you have to watch it because this song and music video are very cool and the meaning of the song is also very good.
