LYRICS and THE MEANING :

[Even if you can't find heaven, heaven, heaven...]
Hands, put your empty hands in mine  
And scars, show me all the scars you hide  
And hey, if your wings are broken  
Please take mine so yours can open too  
Cause I'm gonna stand by you 
Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes 
And hurt, I know you're hurting, but so am I 
And love, if your wings are broken  
Borrow mine so yours can open too 
 Cause I'm gonna stand by you

The meaning : 

I'll hold your hands so tight, so don't let go. Faith and trust are what I want you to give me. It's a bound that we create to keep each other safe. 

I won't mind the scars you have, I will accept you for the way you are. 

Love gives itself to heal others so it's okay if you're hurt, I'll give you my love so it will stop hurting. 

The sadness and the hurt you feel, I feel them too, and it's okay because love will heal. I will always be right next to you.

 
Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through 
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you  
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you 
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you  
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you

The meaning :

Although we desperate and feel hopeless in any problems in life, we'll fix them together.

Although there's such hard times for us, I'm not gonna run away, I'm not afraid, we'll pass them together.

Don't feel lonely, you have me by your side.

 
Yeah, you're all I never knew I needed  
And the heart, sometimes it's unclear why it's beating  
And love, if your wings are broken 
We can brave through those emotions too  
Cause I'm gonna stand by you  
Oh, truth, I guess truth is what you believe in 
And faith, I think faith is helping reason  
No, no, no, love, if your wings are broken 
Borrow mine so yours can open too 
Cause I'm gonna stand by you

The meaning :

I never knew you were the one I wanted to give my love to.

We never know what we'll achieve next or what we are gonna be or what's waiting for us in the future, because life is unpredictable.

But we have to be brave and face it together. Keep trusting each other will help us solve any problems toward us.

 
Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through 
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you 
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you 
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you 
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you 
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you
 
I'll be your eyes till yours can't shine 
And I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite  
And when you can't rise, well, I'll crawl with you on hands and knees Cause I... [I'm gonna stand by you]
 
The meaning :
 I'll always be with you till the end of time, until the death makes us apart. My arms are open to hold you everytime you're about to break down or cry. If you feel like you couldn't rise on your own, I'll help you with everything I have.

Even if we're breaking down [hey]we can find a way to break through [come on]  
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you 
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you  

Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you 
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you 
Love, you're not alone, cause I'm gonna stand by you 
Love, you're not alone, no, I'm gonna stand by you [Even if we can't find heaven, heaven, heaven...] I'm gonna stand by you

The Morals :

This song tells us about love. This song proves that there's so many things love can do. That's why we need love around us to keep us alive. This song tells about the love we share with other people. Love is the reason when you care about others. Love always accepts anyone for who they are and never tries to change them. Love finds simplicity in a complexity. Love can heal the broken heart and make everyone smile. Love stops the pain. Love is always there even in the hard times. It keeps you walking through the darkness to find a little light. Love never sees the flaws in anyone, it always sees perfection in everyone. Love means sacrificing in any ways to keep the lovely ones safe. That's why, everytime we feel so hopeless, useless and lonely, we're never alone because there must be someone who loves us so much. And this love never dies. It lasts a lifetime. Love will stand by you, through it all, to the very end! So give so much love in every steps you walk for anybody because it will keep everyone safe and warm.

Dewa Athena

Dewa Athena

Dewa Athena was a sport competition that was done at Bali field for 10th grade and 11th grade SMA Negeri 3 Bandung. Teammates were our own classmates; so everyone fought to win matches/games for their own class. Students in one class were divided into different teams for different games, and I was in a volleyball team.

On the first day, 10th of March 2016, I went to Bali field at 7 am. All of the students who would play the games wore jerseys which every class had made before so every class had their unique jerseys on their own. We ran together around our school and Bali field. After that, we started the games. It was so fun and healthy!

I played the first match of volleyball that day in evening. It was too late so almost everyone had gone home because they thought there wouldn't be any games left. We needed 6 players in each team who were three boys and three girls and my team had only 4 players who were 3 boys and 1 girl, and the girl was me! In panic, I found Pungki and asked her to help my team, and she said yes. We were almost disqualified. In relief, our opponent only had 5 players too and we agreed to start the game although we should have had 6 players. Our opponent was X-5. It was such a good game. I was so happy because I could play volleyball after such a long time ago. So lucky, my class team won the game yayy!

The next day, I went to Bali field again. In the afternoon, there was another match of volleyball. I and my volleyball teammates had to win the game against XI-4. It was scary at first because they were one year older! But we played it very well and won. We were so happy because we could make it to semis. 

The third game was on 5th of March 2016 (Saturday). But unfortunately, I and Pungki couldn't play because we had to go to another city to have MUBES. So sad to hear from our teammates that we lost the game. But I didn't feel sad for too long and I still loved volleyball. I wanted to practice more so I would be better at playing volleyball.
