Jeff Satur's song 'Complicated (ทำไมมันยาก)' delves into the intricate and often painful emotions that accompany a complicated relationship. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the struggle to move on. Satur's soulful delivery and the melancholic melody amplify the sense of longing and confusion that permeates the song. The recurring question, 'Why is it so complicated?' underscores the bewilderment and frustration that often come with trying to understand the dynamics of a troubled relationship.
The song opens with the imagery of keeping memories in a specific place, suggesting an attempt to hold on to the past. Despite the passage of time, the protagonist is still haunted by memories of their partner, indicating that the emotional bond remains strong. The lyrics 'All I knew is I miss you mod jai' (mod jai meaning 'completely' or 'wholeheartedly') highlight the depth of the protagonist's feelings and the difficulty of letting go. This sentiment is further emphasized by the lines 'Leave it as a scar yang dtat jai mai long,' which suggest that the memories and emotions are indelible, leaving a lasting impact.
The chorus reflects the confusion and helplessness felt by the protagonist. The repeated phrase 'dtae kwam cing man bpen yang ngai rao go ru ooh, ooh' (but how is it really, we don't know) captures the uncertainty and lack of clarity in the relationship. The song also touches on the idea of mutual resentment and the eventual decision to part ways, as seen in the lines 'dee gwa ni ta rao gliat gan bpai ley tang jai' (it's better if we hate each other and go our separate ways). Despite this resolution, the lingering question of why love has to be so complicated remains unanswered, leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved tension.
'Complicated (ทำไมมันยาก)' is a heartfelt reflection on the complexities of love and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. Jeff Satur's evocative lyrics and emotive performance make this song a relatable and moving experience for anyone who has navigated the difficult waters of a complicated relationship.
