The name "Superman Is Dead" was derived from Stone Temple Pilots's "Silvergun Superman". The name was modified to "Superman Is Dead" because they liked the idea that there's no such thing as a perfect, invincible person out there.
Originally stumbled together in 1995, drawn by their common love of Green Day and NOFX, their influences soon extended to the punk 'n roll genre a la Supersuckers, Living End, and Social Distortion.
SID produced their first three albums independently, with fabulous, small scale indie labels "Case 15" (1997), "Superman is Dead" (1999), "Bad Bad Bad" EP (2002). In March 2003 they finally signed with Sony Music Indonesia and released their first album under that label, "Kuta Rock City". Their second album "The Hangover Decade" was released in December 2004. Their Third album "Black Market Love" was released in March 2006. Their latest album "Angels And The Outsider" was released in February 2009.

Burn For You
Superman Is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't seem much happier today
It's hard to talk and to look at you in the eye
Don't you know?
I have so many things I wanna say
I got story of million years
But in my head it hurts so much couldn't understand it
Have enough just to hurt you more
Baby all I wanna do, is burn for you
[Reff:]
Baby burn, burn, burn for you
No matter when the sun goes down
All the things I need to say, I'll say it when I'm burning
Burn, burn, burn for you love
It's worth it in the name of God
The strongest words from my own heart
I wonder if it's too late now...
Accross the line, between love and hate we thru
Gave so much for me to think about
I found it's hard, to put all my trust in you.
Don't you know?
You've hurt me so much Icouldn't say
You've blamed me for things I didn't do
Don't even know that I cook you breakfast in the morning
And when you've drunk baby you don't care
This is a game I don't wanna play
You've breaking my heart into thousand piece
