Sajama Cut is Marcel Thee (vocals, guitars, various instruments), Dion Panlima Reza (guitars, vocals, percussion, synths), Randy Apriza Akbar (bass, vocals), and Hans Citra Patria (percussion, synths). They formed in 2001. In March 2011, Sajama Cut announced that Andreas Humala (keyboards, synths, samplers, vocals) had left the band due to personal reasons.
Sajama Cut have released four albums, along with numerous compilations, most notably the JKT:SKRG (Jakarta Now!) compilation, and had a major radio hit when their single "Less Afraid" appeared on the major motion picture Janji Joni , in which the song, in a rare occurrence; could be heard almost in its entirety two times during the movie.
Videos for the singles Fallen Japanese and Alibi are also staples in both local TV channels in South-East Asia, and commercial channels, such as MTV, O-Channel, and STV.
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.
The band released their second album, the semi-concept LP The Osaka Journals in 2005, with distribution help from the major label Universal Music Indonesia. With their name now more widely known amongst the music community, the band released 2 singles (and 2 videos) for "Fallen Japanese", "and Alibi".
The album The Osaka Journals received an even larger critical acclaim in the media, including MTV Trax Magazine, Rolling Stone Indonesia, and eventually making it as “One of the best (local and international) albums of the 2000 decade” in a list by The Jakarta Globe in 2009
In 2006, Sajama Cut also contributed 4 songs to another motion picture "Foto, Kotak, Jendela".
In June 2008, L’Internationale; a remix album collecting songs from The Osaka Journals with remixes from international producers was released. Those involved, includes producers/musicians/video directors from Japan, America, Britain, Indonesia, Norway, Italy, Scotland, Portugal, Germany, Venezuela, Hong Kong, etc.
The first single was a remix of Nemesis/Murder from the international 8-bit artist YMCK, from Tokyo, Japan. Three videos by international directors, including Raquel Meyers from Madrid, Hikori Kisogi from Tokyo, and David Horvitz (who documents Brooklyn art-rockers Xiu Xiu) will also be included in the CD.
Sajama Cut's third album "Manimal" was released in 2010. After releasing the critically acclaimed album Manimal five years ago, Sajama Cut returns with Hobgoblin, their new album of 11 songs which re-establishes their place as one of the country's most artistically ambitious bands.

Lautan Yang Memeluk Cermin
Sajama Cut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Menuntun langit pulang
Sangkar beriman
Meruntuh kebajikan
Wajah ini
Wajah ini
Takkan mengungkapkan kembali
Wajah ini
Takkan berubah
Kitab celaka
Nikahi cermin usang
Uang ke tangan
Ke mulut dan menghilang
Wajah ini
Wajah ini
Takkan mengungkapkan kembali
Wajah ini
Wajah ini
Takkan berubah
Wajah ini
Wajah ini
Takkan mengungkapkan arti
Wajah ini
Wajah ini
Takkan berubah
Wajah ini
Wajah ini
Wajah ini
Berias dan molek menari
Wajah ini
Wajah ini
Memahat alam
Membelai birahi

Takkan berubah
The song "Lautan Yang Memeluk Cermin" by Sajama Cut features poetic and introspective lyrics that delve into themes of self-expression, spirituality, and the struggle to maintain authenticity in a world driven by materialism and appearances.
The opening lines, "Sabda berlian, Menuntun langit pulang, Sangkar beriman, Meruntuh kebajikan," can be interpreted as a reminder of the power of words and spirituality to guide us towards our true selves and to dismantle societal notions of righteousness and virtue. The use of the metaphor "diamond words" suggests that profound and meaningful words have the potential to lead us back to our essential nature.
The repeated lines "Wajah ini, Wajah ini, Takkan mengungkapkan kembali, Wajah ini, Wajah ini, Takkan berubah" can be seen as a reflection on the limitations of physical appearances and expressions. The reference to "this face" suggests that the persona or external facade we present to the world will never fully reveal our inner thoughts, emotions, or true self. Despite the changes that may occur in one's appearance, the essence or core remains constant.
The verse "Kitab celaka, Nikahi cermin usang, Uang ke tangan, Ke mulut dan menghilang" explores the negative consequences of becoming fixated on material possessions and superficial beauty, symbolized by marrying an outdated mirror and subsequently losing touch with one's morals and values. This highlights how the pursuit of wealth can lead to a loss of identity and a superficial existence.
The final verse emphasizes the multi-faceted nature of the self. The lines "Wajah ini, Wajah ini, Berias dan molek menari, Wajah ini, Wajah ini, Memahat alam, Membelai birahi" suggest that one's face can be both elegant and seductive, but also has the power to shape the world and awaken passion and desire. It speaks to the complexity of human nature, where outer beauty can coexist with inner strength and creativity.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lautan Yang Memeluk Cermin" invite listeners to contemplate the transient nature of appearances, the importance of remaining true to oneself, and the significance of words and spirituality in navigating the complexities of life.
