Russian Roulette - Rihanna

Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
I’m sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

[Chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he’s here means he’s never lost

(Chorus)

As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late too pick up the value of my life

(Chorus)

Oke, gue sedang tergila-gila dengan lagu ini. Pertama kali dengerin lagu ini kemarin dan langsung terngiang-ngiang terus di kepala gue.. Outside of the love story Rihanna tries to tell us through this song, I see this song differently.
Tau kan permainan Russian Roulette? Permainan dimana kita masukin satu buah peluru ke dalam pistol dan tarik pelatuknya ke arah kepala kita. Kalo ternyata yang lo tembak itu tidak berisi peluru, then you win. Kalo berisi peluru, yahh then you lose and literally dead..
Nah,, berani ga yah ambil resiko kaya gitu? Kalo udah ngejalanin sesuatu yang mungkin bikin kita takut tapi tetep mau ngejalaninnya..

"And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test"
Yah,, yang namanya rasa takut tuh pasti ada, betul nggak? Tapi bukan berarti kita harus mundur begitu aja kan?
Dalam berbagai macam masalah yang kita hadapin dalam hidup kita, there's no way back. The choice is between you face it and become the warrior or just leave it and become a coward..

So, what's yours??
PULL YOUR TRIGGER!!!!!
