Kryptonite
“I get lost when I look in your
eyes, ‘cause my love is so hard to disguise.” –Guy Sebastian, Kryptonite
Pemenang pertama gelaran ajang
pencari bakat, Australian Idol 2003, Guy Sebastian, merilis album keduanya yang
bertajuk “Beautiful Life” pada tanggal 18 Oktober 2004. Sebulan kemudian, ia
merilis single kedua dari album ini,
yaitu “Kryptonite”, tepatnya pada tanggal 22 November 2004. Lagu pop R n’ B ini ditulis dan diaransemen
oleh Sebastian bersama dengan Beau Dozier.
“Kryptonite” mengisahkan
ketidakberdayaan seorang manusia ketika ia jatuh cinta. Layaknya seorang
Superman yang tak berdaya ketika berhadapan dengan kryptonite. Kryptonite
adalah sebuah zat atau material dalam kisah fiksi Superman, yang diceritakan
dapat ditemukan di planet asal Superman, Krypton. Superman, yang dikisahkan
sebagai seorang superhero pun
memiliki kelemahan, yaitu kryptonite.
Dalam lagu ini, kryptonite digunakan
sebagai simbol atas sesuatu yang sanggup melemahkan manusia terkuat sekalipun,
yaitu cinta. Indeed, everyone has their own ‘kryptonite’.
Yang mewujud dalam sosok orang yang mereka cintai. “You’re love is like a pendulum that’s swinging side to side, got me in a spell and now I can’t deny. I’m hypnotized.” Yang selalu dapat
melemahkannya, membuatnya tak berdaya. “’Cause
baby it’s the same tomorrow, yesterday,
tonight, and I swear that nothing’s ever felt so right. I’m yours for life.” Yang selalu dapat merenggut hatinya, kapanpun
itu, dalam kondisi bagaimanapun. “I’ve
tried so hard to let you go, but I
can’t escape the way I feel inside. Way
beyond denial that we are meant to be in love, so I give up.” Yang tak pernah dapat ia elakkan, sekuat apapun ia
mencoba. “‘Cause I can’t stop thinking of
you, I’ll be trying not to love you.
I’m helpless, it’s true. So I’m giving up
tonight, ‘cause baby you’re my
kryptonite.”
Album kedua Sebastian ini,
“Beautiful Life”, menuai kesuksesan dengan meraih sertifikat Platinum di
Australia. Penjualan album ini berhasil menembus angka lebih dari 100.000
salinan. “Kryptonite” is my favorite
track in this album, and indeed, this sweet love song is everlasting for me.
I never get bored of it and it’s an
effective mood-booster to open up my day.
“I can’t help this feeling. It’s a
fight that I know I can’t win. There’s nothing I can do. So I’m giving up
tonight, ‘cause you’re my kryptonite.” –Guy Sebastian, Kryptonite

lagu “Kryptonite” oleh Guy Sebastian.
“From the very second baby I already knew
I’ll end up head over heels in love with you
Turns out I’m right
I couldn’t tell if you were feeling what I felt for you
So I nonchalantly tried to play it cool
I’m tired of lying
But I get lost when I look in your eyes
’Cause my love is so hard to disguise
Baby I can’t help this feeling, it’s a fight that I know I can’t win
There’s nothing I can do
Turns out I’m right
I couldn’t tell if you were feeling what I felt for you
So I nonchalantly tried to play it cool
I’m tired of lying
But I get lost when I look in your eyes
’Cause my love is so hard to disguise
Baby I can’t help this feeling, it’s a fight that I know I can’t win
There’s nothing I can do
So I’m giving up tonight, ‘cause baby you’re my kryptonite
You’re love is like a pendulum that’s swinging side to side
Got me in a spell and now I can’t deny
Girl I’m hypnotized
’Cause baby it’s the same tomorrow, yesterday, tonight
And I swear that nothing’s ever felt so right
I’m yours for life
You’re love is like a pendulum that’s swinging side to side
Got me in a spell and now I can’t deny
Girl I’m hypnotized
’Cause baby it’s the same tomorrow, yesterday, tonight
And I swear that nothing’s ever felt so right
I’m yours for life
‘Cause I can’t stop thinking of you, I’ll be trying not to love you
I’m helpless, girl it’s true
So I’m giving up tonight, ‘cause baby you’re my kryptonite
I’ve tried so hard to let you go, but I can’t escape the way I feel inside
Way beyond denial that we are meant to be in love, so girl I give up, yeah”
I’m helpless, girl it’s true
So I’m giving up tonight, ‘cause baby you’re my kryptonite
I’ve tried so hard to let you go, but I can’t escape the way I feel inside
Way beyond denial that we are meant to be in love, so girl I give up, yeah”
