"What Doesn't
Kill You (Stronger)"
- Kelly Clarkson -
You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want
You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
[2x]
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in colour
And do the things I want
You think you got the best of me
Think you had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on, over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me, but you see
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Lirik lagu di atas adalah lirik lagu dari salah satu penyanyi wanita favorit saya, Kelly Clarkson. Dari judulnya aja udah keliatan kalo isi lagu ini ngasih "motivasi" buat kita-kita. Setelah saya dengerin lagunya, saya pahami liriknya, ternyata bener. Lagu ini bisa jadi motivasi.
Menurut interpretasi saya, dalam lagu ini si penyanyi cerita tentang someone special yang ninggalin dia (entah karena punya pacar lagi atau apa) lalu dia berjuang gimana caranya supaya dia tetep tegar menghadapi kenyataan itu.
Si penyanyi percaya bahwa apapun yang tidak "membunuhnya" justru membuat dia lebih kuat. Contoh yang paling gampang buat kita-kita adalah PUTUS CINTA. Putus bukan berarti kiamat, kan? Masih ada hal-hal lain yang bisa dilakukan.
Dimana-mana memang yang namanya putus itu nggak enak. Apapun alesannya, tetep, yang namanya putus itu pasti sulit diterima pada awalnya (apalagi buat para cewe'-cewe'). Cuma gini deh, kita perlu mikir juga, alesan putus itu sendiri itu apa? Kalo memang putusnya gara-gara si cowo' ninggalin si cewe' buat jalin hubungan baru sama cewe' lain, ya kenapa harus terpuruk lama-lama? Wake up, girls. Masih ada cowo' lain yang lebih baik, yang akan jadiin kalian prioritas dan bukannya pilihan.
Disini memang saya cuma menyebutkan salah satu alesan itu aja, karena saya cari alesan yang paling mendekati sama isi lirik lagu di atas. Setelah putus, jangan tunjukkan pada si mantan kalo kita jadi terpuruk, down, atau apalah. Itu justru akan membuat si mantan merasa seneng karena dia berhasil "mengobrak-abrik" kita. Lihat deh dari lirik lagu di atas, DOESN'T MEAN I'M OVER 'CAUSE YOU'RE GONE. Jadi, walaupun si mantan udah pergi, bukan berarti kita berakhir.
Lebih baik kita tunjukkan sama si mantan kalo kita masih bisa terus hidup, masih bisa seneng, masih bisa melakukan apapun yang bikin kita seneng, walaupun udah nggak bareng sama dia lagi. Apa yang perlu kita lakuin pertama kali cuma berpikir positif kok. Berpikirlah bahwa, "berkat dia kita bisa dapet hal atau pelajaran baru", "berkat dia kita nggak jadi patah hati", "berkat dia akhirnya kita punya kesempatan untuk lebih mengenal dan menyayangi diri kita sendiri". Bisa juga berpikir bahwa di hari dia meninggalkan kita, di saat itulah awal yang baru sedang menghampiri kita. Si mantan baru sadar akan hal ini di akhir-akhir, setelah lihat kalo kita udah berhasil MOVE ON.
Yakinlah walaupun kita sendirian, bukan berarti kita kesepian. Putus cinta juga nggak akan membunuh kita, apalagi kalo alesannya seperti yang saya sebutin sebelumnya. Justru itu akan lebih memotivasi kita buat terus maju dan MOVE ON.
Menurut saya pribadi sih lagu Kelly Clarkson ini enak didengerin. Suara powerful-nya Kelly nyantel banget di kuping dan kerasa banget motivasinya. Yah...sekiranya lagu ini beneran bisa jadi motivasi buat kita, terutama para cewe'-cewe' yang lagi patah hati karena putus cinta, hehe...
XOXO
