Annika Iyer – Too Soon

“Did I give you my body too soon?” Pertanyaan itu dilempar Annika Iyer di reff Too Soon, dan sampai lagu selesai ia tidak pernah benar-benar mendapat jawaban.

Musiknya memilih menahan diri. Synth lembut mengalir tanpa putus dari awal, drum mesin menjaga langkah tetap stabil, dan lapisan piano menaburkan kilau bening di atasnya. Teksturnya hangat dan sedikit berdebu, seperti seprai yang belum sempat dirapikan.

Ada kesedihan yang tidak perlu berteriak. Biasanya Annika Iyer datang dengan energi diva dan pop 2010-an yang serba besar, tapi di sini kita seperti mendengar versi dirinya yang duduk di lantai kamar, ditemani hantu mantan yang masih berkeliaran di sudut-sudut ruangan.

Bagian bawahnya terasa sedikit terlalu padat buat saya, bas menumpuk lebih tebal dari yang dibutuhkan lagu serapuh Too Soon. Tapi kita tetap ikut menunggu jawaban yang sama.

Jawabannya, kalau boleh menebak dari judulnya, iya.

Lirik Lagu Annika Iyer – Too Soon

Let my armor down around you
Come see into my skin
Made me feel like I surround you
When you’re not even here

It’s just too late
You’re in my space

There’s consequences for being
So close yet so far
One-sided love that unfolds
When you handle the parts

That someone used
Believed in you

Did I give you my body too soon?
I just
I thought I was safe with you
I was wrong
Now you’re under somebody new
And I’m still feeling like a fool

Now your ghost is all over my room
‘Cause you
Killed something that seemed so true
Oh, you can’t
You can’t give it back and I knew
That I’m left feeling like the fool ’cause
I gave you my body too soon

There’s a special kind of magic
That happens when you come
Into my bedroom like we’re lasting
Forever in these walls

Know I’m a mess
Once you get dressed

Make me your girl
Make me your queen
Need you to need me
Like the air that I breathe

Oh, I gave it now you’re done
And you’re starting to run
Don’t go

Did I give you my body too soon?
I just
I thought I was safe with you
I was wrong
Now you’re under somebody new
And I’m still feeling like a fool

Now your ghost is all over my room
‘Cause you
Killed something that seemed so true
Oh, you can’t
You can’t give it back and I knew
That I’m left feeling like the fool ’cause
I gave you my body too soon

You my body
I gave you my body too soon
Gave you my body
I gave you my body too soon
You my body
I gave you my body
That I’m left feeling like the fool
’Cause I gave you my body too soon
