Sajama Cut released their first indie album Apologia (2002) to praise from the indie community and media in Indonesia. Earning a 90% raiting in the influential Indonesian independent magazine Deathrockstar. The album also received critical praise from youth magazines such as Ripple, and Hai. This album was mostly done only by Thee and a drummer, making it more of a solo-oriented album than a complete band product.

With their name now more widely known amongst the music community, the band released 2 singles (and 2 videos) for "Fallen Japanese", "and Alibi".

Sajama Cut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To leave the past behind
The getting lost the morning talks
The ones made for a shrine
Maybe we're just not ready yet to light a little fire
In fact I'm just not ready yet to have less than four wives
Maybe we're just not ready yet to say it all works out
I'd like to sell my belongings in a little shop in hell
And shade me out a mirror of the world you're living in
Its a little life we had
You're the empty side of bed
It wasn't part of life
It was life
Well I'll rejoice
Cause the truth is it's now the end
We've all made our choice
Cause the truth is it's now the end
Before made a part
Before made a part
Maybe we're just not ready yet to toast our words behind
The ones that were spoken with love in front of Christ
Maybe we're just not ready yet to face a little fact
That the ones that prays for love
Are the ones that has been dead
Maybe it's this little fact
That you've never loved me back
I've given all
And now I'm drained
Left to rust and die
Maybe this is a good goodbye
To you my past love
Goodnight, take care and thank you
This is where the light cues fin
It's the little lies we shared
and the empty roads we've thread
it wasn't a part of life
it was life
Well I'll rejoice
Cause the truth is it's now the end
We've all made our choice
Cause the truth is it's now the end
Before made a part
Before made a part

Line by Line Meaning
Maybe we're just no ready yet
Perhaps we are not yet prepared to move on
To leave the past behind
To forget all that happened before and start anew
The getting lost the morning talks
Wandering aimlessly and having conversations early in the day
The ones made for a shrine
The conversations we cherished and treasured
Maybe we're just not ready yet to light a little fire
Perhaps we are not yet ready to create something new
In fact I'm just not ready yet to have less than four wives
In reality, I am not willing to settle for less than what I want
Maybe we're just not ready yet to say it all works out
Perhaps, we are not yet willing to admit that everything will be alright in the end
I'd like to sell my belongings in a little shop in hell
I wish to get rid of all my possessions, even if it meant selling them in a place as bad as hell
Maybe the pastors will come and tell me all my sin
Perhaps the religious leaders will inform me of all my wrongdoings
And shade me out a mirror of the world you're living in
And show me the reflection of the world you see and live in
Its a little life we had
We had a small, simple life
You're the empty side of bed
You are the void left in my bed
It wasn't part of life
It wasn't just a fraction of existence
It was life
It was our entire life
Well I'll rejoice
Well, I will be happy
Cause the truth is it's now the end
Because the reality is that it's over now
We've all made our choice
We have all made our decision
Before made a part
Before we were separated
Maybe we're just not ready yet to toast our words behind
Perhaps we are not yet prepared to forget the words we shared
The ones that were spoken with love in front of Christ
The words we spoke with affection in front of God's eyes
Maybe we're just not ready yet to face a little fact
Perhaps we are not yet ready to confront a simple reality
That the ones that prays for love
That those who seek love in prayer
Are the ones that has been dead
Are the ones who have already given up
Maybe it's this little fact
Perhaps this is the small truth
That you've never loved me back
That you have never reciprocated my love
I've given all
I have given everything
And now I'm drained
And now I have nothing left
Left to rust and die
Left to decay and perish
Maybe this is a good goodbye
Perhaps this is a perfect farewell
To you my past love
To you, my previous lover
Goodnight, take care and thank you
Good night, take care, and thank you
This is where the light cues fin
This is where the light signals the end
It's the little lies we shared
It's the small fibs we told each other
and the empty roads we've thread
And the lonely paths we trod
it wasn't a part of life
It wasn't just a fraction of our existence
it was life
It was our entire life
Before made a part
Before we were separated
