Their second album, Utopia, was released in 1999 through Aquarius Musikindo. Because of personal and business reasons, Pure Saturday was mostly inactive for several years, culminating in Suar's departure in 2004. After unsuccessful auditions to find a suitable replacement vocalist, Satria "Iyo" NB, the band's manager, eventually filled in during rehearsals.
With their new lead singer, Pure Saturday released their third album, Elora, in March 2005 through FastForward Records.

Pure Saturday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kejar penghuni...
Injak perangkap masuk lumpur
Jadi lagi...
Aaa... aaa... aaa
Aaa... aaa... aaa
Hilang arah silap tujuan
Coklat dimakan malah melawan
Pupus harapan
Aaa.aaaa.aaaaaa.aaaaa.aaaaaaa
Aaaa.aaa.aaa
Aaaa.aaa
Coklat berlari...(kejar penghuni)
Coklat dimakan...(jadi tawanan)
Aaa.aaa.aaa
Aaa.aaa
Aaaaa.aaaaa
Aaaaa
The lyrics to Pure Saturday's song Coklat are a poetic reflection on the experience of being lost, both physically and emotionally. The opening lines describe a frantic chase, likened to that of a pig on the run, as the subject tries to catch up with someone or something. The imagery of stepping into a trap and sinking into mud suggests a feeling of being trapped and weighed down by one's own actions.
The next lines express a sense of disappointment and bitterness, as the subject reflects on their wrong turns and the harsh words that might have contributed to their current state of confusion. The repeated refrain of "Aaa...aaa...aaa" adds to the sense of chaos and desperation that permeates the song, as the subject tries to make sense of what has led them to this point.
Ultimately, the final lines of the song suggest a sense of resignation and defeat, as the once-free "coklat" (chocolate) is now trapped and defeated. The song ends on a note of intense emotion, with the repeated refrain once again emphasizing the sense of loss and confusion.
