Though the emotional weight of this particular cover is often tied to fractured friendships, I want to clarify that the rupture didn’t originate within ISI Jogja’s circle. Many in that community have shown loyalty and warmth, and I’m grateful for that. The pain reflected in this song stems from friendships and events outside ISI Jogja, yet the impact seeped into my creative and academic life there. It’s about how external emotional turbulence can quietly reshape the spaces we once considered safe. This piece is not just a song about loss, but it’s also a reflection on displacement, on carrying grief into places that were never meant to hold it.
