He was popular for his gritty-witty ballads accentuated on life of Indonesia's marginalized groups or political satire on the troubled Indonesian social/political scene under Soeharto. His socially aware hit-songs including: "Oemar Bakri" tells about teacher, "Lonteku" is a love story between a criminal and a prostitute, and "Wakil Rakyat" is about members of parliament.
After Reformasi movement on 1997 which leads to democratisation he was a kind of losing the edge for political satire, but his mature musical experience keeps him on Indonesian pop chart with inward-looking songs and songs about personal relationships.
Ancur
Iwan Fals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dalam tidurku dalam mimpiku
Setiap malam
Hangat tubuhmu melekat di kulitku
Beribu peluk beribu cium
Kita lalui
Dengan duda anak tiga
Pilihan ibumu
Hatiku hancur
Berserakan berhamburan
Kayak jeroannya binatang
Ya sudah
Kumenangis seadanya
Sekuat tenaga
Ya sudahlah
Kau memang setan alas
Nggak punya perasaan
ANCUUU UUUR
Doaku di akad nikahmu
Semoga si duda diracun orang
Biar terus mampus
Tapi kau kabur
Dengan duda anak tiga
Pilihan ibumu
Hatiku hancur
Berserakan berhamburan
Kayak jeroannya binatang
Ya sudah
Kumenangis seadanya
Sekuat tenaga
Ya sudahlah
Ya sudah
Kumenangis seadanya
Sekuat tenaga
Ya sudahlah
Kau memang “syaiton” alas
Ndak punya perasaan
ANCUUU UUUR
Doaku di akad nikahmu
Semoga si duda diracun orang
Biar terus mampus
Semoga si duda diracun orang
Biar terus mampus
Heh heh heh heh heh

Throughout the song, the singer seems to be reminding themselves that it's over and that they need to move on, despite the intense pain they are feeling. The final lines of the song express a strong desire for revenge against the person who has hurt them, suggesting a darker side to the singer's emotional turmoil.
Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of love, heartbreak, and revenge. The lyrics are filled with raw emotion and vivid imagery that conveys the singer's pain and sense of disillusionment with the world.
