Question

"As White as Snow" By U2

Where I came from there were no hills at all
The land was flat, the highway straight and wide 
My brother and I would drive for hours 
Our faces as pale as the dirty snow
Like we had years instead of days

Once I knew there was a love divine
Then came a time I thought it knew me not
Who can forgive forgiveness where forgiveness is not? 
Only the lamb as white as snow

And the water, it was icy as it washed over me
And the moon shined above me

Now this dry ground, it bears no fruit at all 
Only poppies laugh under the crescent moon 
The road refuses strangers, the land, the seeds we sow

Where might we find the lamb as white as snow 
As boys we would go hunting in the woods
To sleep the night shooting out the stars
Now the wolves are every passing stranger
Every face we cannot know 
If only a heart could be as white as snow
If only a heart could be as white as snow

Why does the song writer include 'lamb' and 'wolves' in the song lyrics?
A. to list all animals which exist in the woods
B. to compare innocent and wicked people
C. to narrate a fable story
D. to emphasize the setting of the story

D. Nur · Accepted Answer

Jawaban untuk soal ini adalah B. to compare innocent and wicked people.

Soal ini menanyakan alasan penulis lirik mencantumkan kata 'lamb' (domba) dan 'wolves' (serigala) pada teks lirik tertera.

Untuk menjawab soalnya, perhatikan bait ke-5 berikut:

"Where might we find the lamb as white as snow
As boys we would go hunting in the woods
To sleep the night shooting out the stars
Now the wolves are every passing stranger
Every face we cannot know
If only a heart could be as white as snow
If only a heart could be as white as snow"

Arti:
"Di mana kita bisa menemukan domba seputih salju
Yang akan kita, para lelaki buru di hutan
Tertidur di depan rumah, mencoba meraih bintang
Sekarang, para serigala adalah tiap orang asing yang melintas
Tiap wajah yang kita tidak bisa ketahui
Jika saja hati bisa seputih salju
Jika saja hati bisa seputih salju"

Dilihat dari arti baitnya, diketahui bahwa penulis lirik mencantumkan kata 'lamb' (domba) dan 'wolves' (serigala) dengan alasan 'untuk membandingkan orang baik (diibaratkan seperti domba berbulu seputih salju) dengan orang jahat (diibaratkan seperti serigala yang memburu domba)'. Ini sesuai dengan opsi B.

Jadi, jawaban untuk soal ini adalah B. to compare innocent and wicked people.
