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.

Terdampar
Sajama Cut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Melintasi awanku
Dalam haru melebur
Palsu lahar membeku
Dalam hampa diri
Setiap hari khianati
Senyummu bangkai
Ratus bodoh datang oh pasukan
Cukup sedih untuk meskipun
Kadang sembahyang
Kadang melayang
Tertawa sedih senang
Duka cita sarapan
Haram jadahkan kami
Cium kasih abadi
Selama engkau disini
Nyenyak hari terasa
Dalam alam mimpi
Terdampar namun tertolong
Haha kesepian
Hanyalah sarapan
Ratus bodoh datang oh pasukan
Cukup sedih untuk meskipun
Kadang sembahyang
Kadang melayang
Tertawa sedih senang
Duka cita sarapan
Dan ini untuk rakyat
Mengharukan keparat
The song "Terdampar" by Sajama Cut explores themes of loneliness, betrayal, and false appearances. The lyrics describe someone who may appear successful, but internally is struggling with a sense of emptiness and shattered dreams. The opening lines suggest that despite the person's physical achievements, they are emotionally adrift and frozen in a false reality. The second verse speaks to the person's sense of betrayal; they have been deceived by someone or something that they trusted, and their smile has become lifeless.
The chorus speaks to the idea that despite the person's struggles, they still find moments of joy and sadness, and these emotional journeys comprise their daily life. The final verse speaks to the idea that even in the midst of despair, the person finds solace in their dreams, and they feel as though they have been rescued from the storm. However, the laughter that accompanies their dreams is tinged with loneliness, and the sense of isolation remains.
Overall, "Terdampar" is a metaphor for the human experience, and the challenges that we all face in navigating through life's ups and downs. The lyrics call on the listener to see beyond the surface, and to realize that everyone has their own struggles and inner demons to contend with.

Meskipun engkau terbang
Although you are flying away
Melintasi awanku
Crossing my skies
Dalam haru melebur
Merging in sorrow
Palsu lahar membeku
Fake lava solidifies
Dalam hampa diri
In emptiness of the self
Setiap hari khianati
Betrayed every day
Senyummu bangkai
Your smile is a corpse
Angan sepi suci
Lonely dreams are sacred
Ratus bodoh datang oh pasukan
Hundreds of fools come, oh troops
Cukup sedih untuk meskipun
Sad enough, even though
Kadang sembahyang
Sometimes praying
Kadang melayang
Sometimes floating
Tertawa sedih senang
Laughing, sad and happy
Duka cita sarapan
Grief and joy for breakfast
Haram jadahkan kami
Forbidden to unite us
Cium kasih abadi
Kissing eternal love
Selama engkau disini
As long as you are here
Nyenyak hari terasa
Days feel peaceful
Dalam alam mimpi
In the world of dreams
Terdampar namun tertolong
Stranded but saved
Haha kesepian
Haha, loneliness
Hanyalah sarapan
Is just breakfast
Dan ini untuk rakyat
And this is for the people
Mengharukan keparat
Touching, damn it
