Lirik lagu Red Hot Chili Peppers - Kaly dan Terjemahan
Lirik "Kaly" mencerminkan perpaduan khas band antara tema introspektif dan abstrak, disampaikan melalui citra yang hidup dan permainan kata. Ayat-ayat lagu ini menyajikan serangkaian metafora deskriptif diri, menggambarkan narator sebagai "orang gila," "hipokrit," dan "bintang kesepian yang hilang dengan sia-sia," di antara identitas lainnya. Baris-baris ini menunjukkan perenungan tentang kekurangan dan kontradiksi pribadi. Refrain memperkenalkan perspektif yang kontras, menekankan "sisi terang" dan dukungan timbal balik antara individu: "Di sisi terang, aku punya kamu... kamu punya aku." Kontras ini menyiratkan pengakuan atas ketidaksempurnaan manusia yang diimbangi oleh penghiburan yang ditemukan dalam hubungan.
Lirik Terjemahan
I'm a lunatic, and a hypocrite
A lone star gone lost in vain
I'm a Kerouac, and a gunnysack
A fringe mad lad pre-ordained
You don't have to pretend, friend
Darlin', what you feel
A message that we want to send
Along the glockenspiel
I'm a soft-tooth, and the cold truth
A heart slap through your wet man brain
I'm a biker's boot, and a nudist suit
A dirty member of the Golden Chain
But on the bright side, there's a reason that we all must come to lose
On the bright side, I've got you
Well, on the bright side, there's a reason that we all must come to bleed
On the bright side, you've got me
I'm a black fish, how to speak your wish
A mad tax that we all pay
I'm a medical, so theoretical
A lover's bed with another stain
You don't have to pretend, friend
Darlin', what you feel
A message that we recommend
No matter what we steal
But on the bright side, there's a reason that we all must come to lose
On the bright side, I've got you
Hit me, faker
Well, on the bright side, there's a reason that we all must come to bleed
On the bright side, you've got me
Hold in your words
The things I've heard are so absurd, can we go far beyond the curve
The sight that we choose
We don't ever want to be afraid to win, afraid to lose
But on the bright side, there's a reason that we all must come to lose
On the bright side, I've got you
But on the bright side, there's a reason that we all must come to bleed
On the bright side, you've got me
Listen to me, love
On the bright side, there's a day you come to find me in your hands
On the bright side, I'm your man
