Tega

Here I am again , hey btw, go and check out Glenn Fredly's new song -"Tega" . At first I didn't really listen to the lyrics coz the melody was so good . After seeing the video of the song , I began to take notice the story its trying to tell .. a story of betrayal by a loved one . I found out that this song was about a girl who's cheating on her boyfriend , by having an affair with his own best friend . Typical idea for a love triangle movie right ? ... Amazing how music videos can really help enhance people's interest on a particular song .

Good lyrics from 'Tega' :

di tengah rasa rinduku yg menggebu
kau bersama dia
di saat-saat ku menunggu dirimu
kau bersama dia

reff:
bila kau cinta aku
mengapa kau tipu diriku
tuk bersama dia

chorus:
kau bunuh hatiku
saat ku bernafas untukmu
kau kebanggaan aku
yg tega menipuku


Betrayal is a painful thing , I've experienced it , in the past . Betrayal is an awful thing to experience , it cuts deep inside .. leaving a permanent scar in you . Like an invisible knife cutting through you , minus the bleeding .

How does one handle betrayals ? be it with a friend , family or loved one , how ?

Different people have different ways of dealing it . Dealing it is only half the battle , hooray ..you stepped up ..but the real battle begins after that . The 'recovery' stage . Imagine a simple scenario : Boy has a gf , both seem perfect .. but girl suddenly fancies this other 'new' guy in her life , but because bf is a nice guy ...gf decides to play a dangerous game .. keeping both :) .. Just like in the video .

Betrayals occur rarely to me , but when it did , boy what an unpleasant feeling it is to have . I just thought about writing on this topic because it is reality . Let's just say I handled mine rather well , but it took a mighty long while to recover , that's for sure ... something I hope to never go through again .

Is betrayal the best way to 'conceal' your true loyalties or motives ? Maybe this is hard to understand to some , but those who do will surely know that it can the most dangerous killer to us humans with hearts :)

What goes through the mind of the betrayer when he/she is doing it ? Pleasure ? Guilt ? we'll never know .. coz selfishness and personal gains will the driving force to commit it ..

Before I lead you all to think that I'm experiencing that right now , I better stop :) I'm not . Just beware that its out there , be careful ..
