The song came out in 2011. I was 17 at that time, still in school, SPM was literally the only thing on my mind lol poyo.
I've heard this song a few times but I didn't listen to the lyrics that much. It was only one day, I was on my way back home from school for balik bermalam for the weekend (I was a boarding school student). I was in the car, my mum was driving and the song was on air. It was the first time I listened to every bit of the song then I instantly asked her,
"Kenapa kita nak cari orang yang sama mcm orang yang pernah sakitkan kita dulu?"
Faham tak? I mean, the person had already broke you, torn you to pieces, left you to nothingness and you still want to find another person like that?
So my mum, kinda shook coz I asked the question, she answered something like this:
People are always like that. We don't really learn from our mistakes.
Ibu told me that my aunt (her elder sister) got divorced from a man who cheated
on her and she remarried, to another man who was like her ex-husband. She got
cheated again of course. Masa dia nak kahwin baru tu, arwah nenek aku puas
nasihat coz she knows perangai lelaki tu. But she didn't listen. Even as a
teenager, she was always seemed to be attracted to "bad boys". Nobody knows
why.
I didn't really understand what was the correlation but I think now I do. For example, when we break up with someone, we have this one expectation of what our next partner should be. And weird enough, we'd want that someone to be exactly like our exes, be it good or bad. Which is impossible, there is only one him/her in the world. I think because that we felt really happy when we were with them, so we want to re-live those memories with this new person. Aku rasa la.
Manusia memang aneh.
