Menghapus Jejakmu is a nice song; easy to be followed, catchy to the ears and rythmatic enough to tap my foot along.

But, considering the current troblesome situation I am helplessly stucked in, the song fits itself like a humongous square fitting into a bliddy small circle.

Menghapus Jejakmu - Peterpan

terus melangkah melupakanmu
belah hati perhatikan sikapmu
jalan pikiranmu buatku ragu
tak mungkin ini tetap bertahan

perlahan mimpi terasa mengganggu
kucoba untuk terus menjauh
perlahan hatiku terbelenggu
kucoba untuk lanjutkan itu

engkau bukanlah segalaku
bukan tempat tuk hentikan langkahku
usai sudah semua berlalu
biar hujan menghapus jejakmu

terus melangkah melupakanmu
belah hati perhatikan sikapmu
jalan pikiranmu buatku ragu
tak mungkin ini tetap bertahan

perlahan mimpi terasa mengganggu
kucoba untuk terus menjauh
perlahan hatiku terbelenggu
kucoba untuk lanjutkan itu

engkau bukanlah segalaku
bukan tempat tuk hentikan langkahku
usai sudah semua berlalu
biar hujan menghapus jejakmu

lepaskan segalanya
lepaskan segalanya

engkau bukanlah segalaku
bukan tempat tuk hentikan langkahku
usai sudah semua berlalu
biar hujan menghapus jejakmu

Reading between the lines, the singer is expressing his helplessness with a significant other and chose to leave the person behind, completely forgetting her and the memoirs they have shared.

In my current situation, the last thing I would do is give up [it's not like I have any other choice, my inner self'll kill me before I can even finish saying 'I give up'.].

No matter how hopeless someone is or how stupid or how thick their skull seems to be, I would avoid giving up on them.

Even when they lied or they freaking hurt me [like anyone ever. I'm tough.], giving up is a no-no.

If I give up on their attitudes, what would I think of myself? I like to think myself as a tough, calm, cool and collected optimistic lass; something that I really am, I assure you.

There’s good qualities in human, even when their evil ones seem to stood up like a sore thumb. People will change for the better, it’s just a matter of time.

Now I did say I’ll never give up, but I never said anything about being patient.

Patient is a virtue that I miserably lack, but I’m working my head on it.

Saidina Ali bin Abi Thalib said:

Apabila kamu merasa letih kerana berbuat kebaikan maka sesungguhnya keletihan itu akan hilang dan kebaikan yang dilakukan akan terus kekal. Dan sekiranya kamu berseronok dengan dosa maka sesungguhnya keseronokan itu akan hilang dan dosa yang dilakukan akan terus kekal.

Yeah. It’s nice to have wistful words from people of the past; they seem to know better than the people of the present.
