Abstract

This paper examines the meaning of the song lyrics “Plastik Kita” by the music group Sore from the perspective of perennialism, particularly the metaphysical thought within the esoteric framework of Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s philosophy. The study focuses on the dimensions of meaning and symbolism in the lyrics as an expression of critique toward modernism. By employing a symbolic interpretive approach and esoteric epistemology, this paper explores how the song’s lyrics convey a spiritual message rooted in Nasr’s Divine metaphysical principles. Emphasis is placed on the critique of modern humanity’s detachment from its Divine source, as well as on the affirmation of the need to restore the sacred relationship between humanity, nature, and the Transcendent Reality. The analysis reveals that Plastik Kita serves as a contemporary expression of esoteric wisdom, articulating a profound critique of the spiritual crisis of the modern age.

Bahasa Abstract

Tulisan ini mengkaji makna syair lagu “Plastik Kita” karya grup musik Sore dalam perspektif perennialisme, khususnya pemikiran metafisik dalam payung esoteris pemikiran Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Penelitian ini berfokus pada dimensi makna dan simbolisme syair sebagai ekspresi kritik terhadap modernisme. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan penafsiran simbolik dan epistemologi esoteris, tulisan ini menelaah bagaimana lirik lagu tersebut mengandung pesan spiritual yang bersumber dari prinsip-prinsip Ilahiah metafisika Nasr. Penekanan diberikan pada kritik terhadap pelepasan diri manusia modern dari sumber ilahiah, serta penegasan akan perlunya pemulihan hubungan sakral antara manusia, alam, dan Realitas Transenden. Analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa Plastik Kita merupakan bentuk ekspresi kontemporer dari hikmah yang bersifat esoterik, yang mengelaborasikan kritik mendalam terhadap krisis spiritual zaman modern.
