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 ↴
And I ain't quiet still wet behind it's clear
I've been touchin' while I will gave it all
And I've wild coz it has to be my way
My... way...
I've been keepin', I guess I still in busy
And I've been waitin', sure it won't be easy
It used to be wasted
I'm tryin' to take it
Got no need to lay
I've got nothin' to say
Feel better inside now
God damn it! Don't you know
It's a perfect time at perfect crime
It's a kind a hard to believe
It's always a simple warning
A simple warning...
It used to be wasted
I'm tryin' to take it
Got no need to lay
I've got nothin' to say
I've been smilin'...
I've been touchin'...
I've been keepin'...
Still wet behind it's clear
I've been smilin'...
I've been touchin'...
I've been keepin'...
Still wet behind it's clear
Still wet behind it's clear
Still wet behind it's clear
Still wet behind it's clear
