Sonora.ID – Berikut ini adalah lirik lagu ‘Show Pony’ oleh Glass Animals yang baru saja dirilis pada 19 Juli 2024.
“Show Pony” menjadi lagu pembuka dari album ke-4 Glass Animals, I Love You So F***ing Much.
Daftar album itu menyoroti “semua sisi” cinta dan menguraikan berbagai jenisnya yang akan dibahas lebih lanjut dalam album ini.
Band ini pertama kali menampilkan “Show Pony” secara langsung di Bengkel Space, Jakarta (12 Mei 2024).
Penyanyi utama sekaligus penulis lagu Dave Bayley memberi tahu Apple Music tentang lagu tersebut:
“Kita semua membangun ide-ide cinta ini saat kita tumbuh dewasa, bahkan sebelum kita tahu apa itu cinta. Kita mengalaminya dan menyerapnya dan melihatnya dan kita membangun ide dongeng tentang cinta dan ide tentang seperti apa seharusnya hubungan. Anda membangun ide-ide cinta ini di kepala Anda sebelum Anda mengalaminya dengan benar. Lagu ini adalah ringkasan dari cetak biru yang akan saya miliki di usia muda—tentang bagaimana saya mungkin memandang cinta—dan menuangkannya ke dalam cerita pendek. Ini hampir seperti daftar isi album.”

Lirik:
[Intro]
Show pony, make it burn
Smile as the knife is turned
Show pony making a return
I guess he's right that you--
[Verse 1]
I'll begin at the beginning, you met in New York City
He was sitting like a prince on the stairs of his old building
When he kissed you, you were finished, two months in a minute
Married at a desk in a sundress with a witness
Had a honeymoon in Texas, went to Little Venice
Told him with your eyes, now you’re crying in the clinic
And we pile into the Plymouth, haircuts in the kitchen
He always fell asleep just before the movie finished
[Pre-Chorus]
But you don’t, baby, you’re alone
Echoes in your head, pressed into the floor
Two-dimensional
When’s it gonna end? Maybe when you’re dead?
Maybe you’re a fool, but he loved you
And he loved you in a t-shirt, mmm
All the memories inside your curves
Now you’re coming back to show us that girl
So roll those credits, 'cause the sequel’s gonna hurt, mmm
[Chorus]
Show pony, make it burn
Smile as the knife is turned
Show pony making a return
As we make our way through the universe
Show pony making it burn
That's how revenge is served
Make it so cold that it hurts
I guess he's right that you live and learn
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
It's how the story goes, ramen on your own
Waiting by the phone, lipstick on the coat
Waiting by the door, you live in his clothes
You would make a joke that you had none of your own
All that shit I learned from you
Kindness spilt like milk and juice
So blindsided by the truth
In some way I was sure you knew
[Pre-Chorus]
But you don’t, baby, you’re alone
Echoes in your head, pressed into the floor
Two-dimensional
When’s it gonna end? Maybe when you’re dead?
Maybe you’re a fool, but he loved you
And he loved you in a t-shirt, mmm
All the memories inside your curves
Now you’re coming back to show us that girl
So roll those credits, 'cause the sequel’s gonna hurt, mmm
[Chorus]
Show pony, make it burn
Smile as the knife is turned
Show pony making a return
As we make our way through the universe
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
All those nights he left you and me
There was nothing left of you, but he squeezed
All those times he did what he pleased
Boy, those scars must really run deep
And all that hurt comes out in one scream
And it pierced him like the paper receipt
That you got that time you went for food
That first night that he saw you
[Chorus]
Show pony, make it burn
Smile as the knife is turned
Show pony making a return
As we make our way through the universe
Show pony making it burn
That's how revenge is served
Make it so cold that it hurts
I guess he's right that you live and learn
[Instrumental Outro]
