"Pain", sebuah lagu yang diciptakan oleh Elton John, mengeksplorasi konsep rasa sakit yang mendalam dan luas. Lagu ini dipersonifikasikan sebagai sosok bernama "Pain", yang hadir di mana-mana, tak lekang oleh waktu, dan memegang kekuasaan atas kehidupan manusia. Liriknya yang puitis dan menyayat hati menggambarkan rasa sakit sebagai kekuatan tak terhindarkan yang membentuk pengalaman manusia, dari lahir hingga mati. Dengan menggambarkan Pain sebagai cinta, kesakitan, penyakit, dan penyembuhan, lagu ini mengungkap sifat paradoks dari rasa sakit, yang bisa menjadi sumber penderitaan sekaligus kekuatan yang mendorong pertumbuhan dan transformasi.
Pain Lyrics
Elton John
What's your name, my name is Pain
Where do you live, I live anyplace
Where were you born, in the state of fear
How old are you, nineteen hundred and ninety four years
What's your plan, my plan is pain
When will you leave, I'll never go away
How will you breathe, you'll give me life
How will you see, sitting in the temple right between your eyes
My name is Pain, you belong to me
You're all I wanted, I'm all you'll ever be
From the beginning in a world without end
I am the air, I am Pain
Pain is love, Pain is pure
Pain is sickness, Pain is the cure
Pain is death, Pain is religion
Pain is life, Pain is television
Pain walks, Pain crawls
Pain is peace, Pain is war
Where were you born, in the state of fear
How old are you, nineteen hundred and ninety four years
My name is Pain, you belong to me
You're all I ever wanted, I'm all you'll ever be
From the beginning in a world without end
I am the air, I am Pain
Where do you live, I live anyplace
Where were you born, in the state of fear
How old are you, nineteen hundred and ninety four years
What's your plan, my plan is pain
When will you leave, I'll never go away
How will you breathe, you'll give me life
How will you see, sitting in the temple right between your eyes
My name is Pain, you belong to me
You're all I wanted, I'm all you'll ever be
From the beginning in a world without end
I am the air, I am Pain
Pain is love, Pain is pure
Pain is sickness, Pain is the cure
Pain is death, Pain is religion
Pain is life, Pain is television
Pain walks, Pain crawls
Pain is peace, Pain is war
Where were you born, in the state of fear
How old are you, nineteen hundred and ninety four years
My name is Pain, you belong to me
You're all I ever wanted, I'm all you'll ever be
From the beginning in a world without end
I am the air, I am Pain
