Fix You – Cold Play (versi mahasiswa yang lagi nulis skripsi)

I bet that most of you know this song. It is one of the best one from Coldplay. Dan dengerin deh liriknya. Dalem abis. Kalo didengerin di tengah malam pas sendirian, berasa pengen goret-goret pasir, tau gak sih. Yang gak tau lagu ini, you can check it here. (But, really? Seriously, you don’ know this song?)

Anyway, tweets from the account @yeahmahasiswa has given a whole new meaning of this song. Kenapa oh mengapa? Karena ternyata, hasil analisis @yeahmahasiswa menunjukkan betapa lagu ini merupakan soundtrack sejati bagi mahasiswa yang lagi nulis skripsi.

Here’s why. 

This is the original lyric of the song.

When you try your best but you don’t succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face, when you lose something you can’t replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste, could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home, and ignite your bone

I will try to fix you.

And high up above and down below

When you’re too in love to let it go

But if you’ll never try you’ll never knew

Just what you’re worth.

Tears streaming down your face when you lose something you can’t replace

Tears streaming down your face,

I promise you I will learn from my mistake

And here’s how it explain the life of mahasiswa-yang-lagi-berjuang-menulis-skripsi.

When you try your best but you don’t succeed

à udah nyiapin diri buat sidang, tapi gak berkutik waktu ditanya penguji

When you get what you want but not what you need

à waktu udah dapet judul, tapi ngga disetujuin dosen pembimbing

When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep

à capek banget tapi gak bisa tidur karena banyak revisian

Stuck in reverse

à bolak balik revisi melululu

And the tears come streaming down your face, when you lose something you can’t replace

à lembar pengesahan yang sudah ditandatangani hilang entah kemana

When you love someone but it goes to waste, could it be worse?

à udah enak sama dosen pembimbing, tapi beliau jadwalnya sibuk terus mejelang deadline

Lights will guide you home , and ignite your bone

à kalo revisian kelar, baru bisa pulang kampung dengan tenang

I will try to fix you

à I will try to fix (REVISIAN SKRIPSI)

And high up above and down below

à lagi deg-degan nunggu nilai sidang

When you’re too in love to let it go

à ketika ditanya orang kenapa gak lulus-lulus

I promise you I will learn from my mistake

à janji kepada dosen pembimbing dan penguji

Yeah. Fix You would never be the same again.
