This song is the second single which featured on “Contradiction” which has been released on May 2013. Afternoon Talk still stands its ground with a unique combination of acoustic sound and simple tones, on top of rich and redolent atmospheres.

The name of Contradiction is a personal and masterful interpretation of Afternoon Talk’s music with various style combinations. These combinations unintentionally create such a kind of contradiction in innermost construal between each song without leaving the concept of simplicity towards their music by expanding sound with some new instruments like drum, djembe, trumpet, keyboard, and glockenspiel.

Almost entirely self-produced, Afternoon Talk has delivered alteration, uplifting, and improved album. The songs deliver emotions, triumph, pleasant thoughts, insincerity, admiration, unrequited love and everything in between.

The songs, some new and some not so, are Afternoon Talk’s musical journey and this album is a collection of songs with different styles reflecting Afternoon Talk’s musical roots.

On the album cover, the moon and the sun kissed as a symbolic reflection of this whole track. 
Contradiction has been released on May 2013 and now it's available on selected store around Indonesia.

Lyrics

Sometimes I crucify my heart
and gather all the morbid lies to make me better
Sometimes I versify a fairytale
and praise myself to hide my real name, face, lips, size and my clothes brand

cause there's so much contradictions
that made some afflictions
so sick
so I can't say a prayer
it's freezing my lips and my tongue

I have a conviction
It's what I called by  fashion
I use it as my defense
but it just return my revenge

and I realize
I live in lies
I sacrifice my real life
let's eat the weed 
because I'm so fed up to burn then smoke it

But I will never kill myself
Cause I have so many dreams that I have to reach
though I die, it won't be easy
cause I'll get up and seize all the sweet things
I never get and have

Afternoon Talk kembali lagi dengan materi baru yang lebih segar.

It's a green green grass
and I'm lying here beside you
Where the wind's blowing your hair
so I can see your forehead
I love you..

it's a blue blue sky
and I'm hand in hand with you
Where the wind's playing my skirt
and how it makes you upset
I love you..

I love you..

Oh I will stand still, there will be no fear
and when you'll be so far away, I trust all what you said
Oh I will wait here, I will keep what I feel
when you'll be million miles away, I'll hold you in my pray

Oh, What a beautiful day!

Late night in the backyard
We said nothing, we're in pain
We've spent another nights but never seems so sad like today

And oh, tomorrow you'll gone
Tomorrow you'll sail in the sea
And oh, tomorrow you'll gone
Tomorrow i'll be in the grief

Waking up in the day where you will be gone
Packing up all your things and all the goods
Building up all the trust and affection
I know that you'll be back, I can't believe it's true!

And oh, we've came along through the time together but now you're gone
And oh, we've came along through the time together but now you're gone from here

I wanna be, I wanna be with you
In the middle of the rain when the thunders come and strain
I will never ever steal your coat
I’ll be by your side to challenge the cold

I’d like to be, I’d like to be with you
In the middle of the war, I’ll be wearing what you wore
I will never ever let you stand in the front and get shoot

If I were with you, I’ll hug you through a rainy day
If I were with you, we’ll watch oldies movies until it’s late
If I were with you, I’ll never ever make you sad

Don’t need to be your lover
I just wanna be with you

I don’t need more, anyting from you..

There's One Thing You Should Know

I woke up in the morning and mother said that she got something for me, she put it on my desk
it's pinky and it looked like a letter
with a red ribbon and the floral smell, well do you know what is it?

it's a love letter..
it's a love letter..
it's a love letter..
it's a love letter..

My heart beat when i start to open it
it's from a guy but i think he has no name but i don't care
He said so many stupid words inside
but whatever, it's no matter, cause that's the cute thing from a love letter

it's a love letter..
it's a love letter..
it's a love letter..
it's a love letter..

But ohhh, oh my god!
i know that it was not for me!
but i'm... i'm just sick of being a single you know!

I got you on my knees
Asking me "why?" asking me "how could i?"
I push you back and said "how dare you come to me?!"
well, this is not about how could it all happen
This is really not if we can't fix the problem
you just need to know that i can't stand the lonesome
again, someday, you will ignore me on the phone

You never make me feel like i was the one
let's turn back the time, see! you were never mine!
i sould have killed you when you said that you love me too
i hate you! all the thing that you do!

i got you on my mail
you still ask why, to make sure how could i
i want to wrote you back, but no, i will never wrote you back
This is not about the radiation of the computer
this ius really not if my fingers are get burnt
you just need to know that i can't stand the lonesome
again, someday, you will ignore me on the phone

You never make me feel like i was the one
let's turn back the time, see! you were never mine!
i sould have killed you when you said that you love me too
i hate you! all the thing that you do!

Please Tell Me How to Turn Back the Time

Stay in the bed
I know I still wake up in the same morning, I knew..
where everything seems so blue
When your face is still sticking like glue
you don't need to scare
I will never blame you for everything I can't undo
like when i said "I love you"
you never ever asked me to

Far away..
Now you seems like so far away
it's not what you mean to
It's just my tricks to forget you

No reason to hate you
Or curse the girl who's with you
How stupid I leave you
just in case I don't wanna hear you say her name that will make me wanna punch you in the face for......thousand times!

So Far Away

This track is the first single of Afternoon Talk's "Contradiction" album.
Island by Afternoon Talk is an interpretation of their hometown that awarded by many beaches to simply unwind. Imagine everyday visiting to the beach, embraced by the warm sun, inducing pleasant thoughts of tropical breezes, crashing waves, sun tan lotion and naps on the beach. This song tells this enjoyment. “We can dance we can dance along the night, we can sing we can sing until the sunrise”.

We can build a kingdom here 
And we can start a colony 
Cause it’s just you and i lay here in silence

I start to wonder.. 
If i could find inside the wild A tiger, a lion, an elephant and elses 
I’d ask them to bring all their fine friends to the seashore.. Oooo Oooo..

We can dance, we can dance along the night
We can sing, we can sing until the sunrise
Around the fireside we’ll be drunk and fall asleep
In our island, in our treasure island..

We can walk by the shimmering sand
The sky is as blue as your eyes, it’s where i would stay
We’ll find some games to play
Let’s feel the breeze and fly away
We don’t have much to say
So let’s just get your boat and catch the wave!

We can dance, we can dance along the night
We can sing, we can sing until the sunrise
Around the fireside we’ll be drunk and fall asleep
In our island, in our treasure island..
