Hailing from Bandung, Indonesia, KUBIK is the brainchild of FX.ADAM.J and dr.LUSIMERS, they were childhood friends who have the same musical taste. They are combining elements of darkwave, heavy metal and electronica. Their music has re-defined the alternative music scene, as it stated in local newspapers as a band who changed the face of Indonesias music in the mid-90s. With the release of their most anticipated album in 2004, Velvet Words And Lies, they got a great review from the fans and the music media. Velvet Words And Lies, is a beauty of vindictive bile, a self-inflicted bruise and with modern textures of electronic music they create dark rock songs that are brimming with soulful emotion. No matter how complex the instrumentation or how unusual the sounds are, the music makes the songs easily accessible and intensely enjoyable.

I gotta new life,
You would hardly recognize me,
I'm so glad,
How could a person like me care for you,
Why do I bother when you're not the one for me,
Is enough enough,
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes,
I've left you all alone
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
I saw the sign
I saw the sign
Close your eyes,
Give me your hand darlin,
Do you feel my heart beating,
Do you understand,
Do you feel the same,
Am I only dreamin,
Or is this burning an eternal flame,
Say my name,
Sun shines through the rain,
A whole life so lonely,
Then you come and ease the pain,
I don't want to lose this feeling,
Is this burning an eternal flame,
Turn it around,
Turn it around,
Turn it turn it, Turn it around turn it around
Turn it turn it, Turn it around turn it around
Turn it turn it, Turn it around!
(Awh yeah!)

Turn it turn it, Turn it around turn it around
Turn it turn it, Turn it around!
