Original Lyrics
Translation in Indonesian

verse

I have this thing, where I get older but just never wiser
Ku punya satu pikiran di mana saat ku bertambah tua tapi tidak bertambah dewasa
Midnights become my afternoons
Malam menjadi siangku
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
Ketika depresi saya menyebabkan perubahan kuburan, semua orang
I′ve ghosted stand there in the room
Aku sudah hantu berdiri di sana di dalam ruangan

pre-chorus

I should not be left to my own devices
Aku seharusnya tidak dibiarkan sendirian
They come with prices and vices
Mereka datang dengan harga dan kebiasaan buruk
I end up in crisis
Aku berakhir dalam masalah
(Tale as old as time)
Cerita seperti yang selalu ada
I wake up screaming from dreaming
Aku terbangun dengan teriakan setelah bermimpi
One day, I'll watch as you′re leaving
Suatu hari aku akan melihatmu pergi
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
Karena kau bosan dengan tipu dayaku
(For the last time)
Untuk yang terakhir kalinya

chorus

It's me, hi
Ini aku, hai
I′m the problem, it′s me
Aku lah masalahnya
At teatime
Di saat minum teh
Everybody agrees
Semua orang setuju
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
Aku akan menatap langsung ke matahari tapi tak pernah ke cermin
It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero
Pasti melelahkan selalu mendukung tokoh jahat

verse

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
Kadang aku merasa semua orang adalah bayi seksi
And I′m a monster on the hill
Dan aku adalah monster di atas bukit
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Terlalu besar untuk nongkrong, perlahan menuju kota favorit Anda
Pierced through the heart but never killed
Tembus ke hati tapi tidak pernah mati

pre-chorus

Did you hear my covert narcissism
Pernahkah kau dengar tentang narsisme terselubungku
I disguise as altruism
Kututupi sebagai pengorbanan diri
Like some kind of congressman?
Seperti anggota kongres
(Tale as old as time)
Cerita seperti yang selalu ada
I wake up screaming from dreaming
Aku terbangun dengan teriakan setelah bermimpi
One day, I'll watch as you′re leaving
Suatu hari aku akan melihatmu pergi
And life will lose all its meaning
Dan hidup akan kehilangan semua maknanya
(For the last time)
Untuk yang terakhir kalinya

chorus

It's me, hi
Ini aku, hai
I′m the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it′s me)
Aku lah masalahnya (Aku lah masalahnya)
At teatime
Di saat minum teh
Everybody agrees
Semua orang setuju
I′ll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
Aku akan menatap langsung ke matahari tapi tak pernah ke cermin
It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero
Pasti melelahkan selalu mendukung tokoh jahat

verse

I have this dream, my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
Aku punya mimpi menakutkan di mana menantuku membunuhku demi uang
She thinks I left them in the will
Dia pikir aku meninggalkan harta warisan
The family gathers 'round and reads it, and then someone screams out
Keluarga itu berkumpul dan membacanya, lalu seseorang berteriak
"She′s laughing up at us from hell"
" Dia tertawa melihat kita dari neraka!"

bridge

It's me, hi
Ini aku, hai
I′m the problem, it's me
Aku lah masalahnya
It′s me, hi
Ini aku, hai
I'm the problem, it's me
Aku lah masalahnya
It′s me, hi
Ini aku, hai
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees
Semua orang setuju (semua orang setuju)

chorus

It′s me, hi (hi)
Ini aku, hai (hai)
I'm the problem, it′s me (I'm the problem, it′s me)
Aku lah masalahnya (Aku lah masalahnya)
At teatime (teatime)
Saat minum teh (teatime)
Everybody agrees (everybody agrees)
Semua orang setuju (semua orang setuju)
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
Aku akan menatap langsung ke matahari tapi tak pernah ke cermin
It must be exhausting, always rooting for the anti-hero
Pasti melelahkan selalu mendukung tokoh jahat
Writer(s): Taylor Swift, Jack Michael Antonoff
Meaning
The song 'Anti-Hero' by Taylor Swift delves into themes of self-awareness, inner struggles, and the feeling of being an outcast. The lyrics portray a sense of isolation, self-criticism, and the internal battle between one's perceived flaws and the desire for acceptance. The metaphor of being an 'anti-hero' reflects feeling disconnected from others, struggling with inner demons, and the complexity of human nature.
