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.

Falling Down
Superman Is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My friend just called me up to join his party
I found myself dressing up fine, just like the king
My lady stepped beside me. S***, damn! She burned the place
She whispered "I will never loose this night, ever"
Tequila's blasting out my mind. Everything's about going wild.
When I looked at you, my lady! You! My friend took you! I got drunk
****
Falling down
Fall fall falling down. Tease my head out loud
Falling down
Fall falling down. Keep my face against the wall
Falling down
Fall fall falling down. Push the light against the clouds.
The night's going dark, totally dark. I'm all outta stars
[Female:]
Waiting for your lovely kiss that night
No one knew, I was lost in the park
And then I found someone to make me laugh
His eyes so bright, blew me away
He cares more than you
When I returned, I could not leave his burning heart alone
I though you knew what it was that I had to do
Deep in my heart, he's got a million ways to go
And sure, I like... The great new house, the brand new cars
Your friend is mine. And so what? Nothing I can do
****
[Male:]
Those who punish me are guilty babe
It's so great! Being a lady
Should I send you your make up bag?
Just to make you comfortable
[Female:]
I'm a normal girl, I am not the same
But I love his air con room
There's nothing wrong with me... Again, nothing I can do
I've got someone new, I keep walking thru
[Male:]
I wanna know how far is hell from you?
[Female:]
Hey!, I am not the winner of this race!
You have to be warmer than him actually.
Could you say "good luck" for my new destination?
You said you would be proud if I've done what's right for me.
... Oh no no no no no... Bullshit!
The lyrics of "Falling Down" by Superman Is Dead narrate the story of a man who goes out to party with his lady but finds out that his friend has taken her away while he was drunk. The man expresses his feelings of sadness and anger, stating that he is falling down and that his head is teasing out loud. The female in the story explains how she was waiting for the man's lovely kiss that night, but since he was not present, she found someone else who made her happy. She claims that her new lover cares more for her than the man ever did, and he has a million ways to go. The man and the woman start an argument quoting that they are not the same, and they both have someone new.
The song seems to depict a struggle with betrayal and jealousy, where the man is heartbroken, and the woman is trying to justify her new love interest. There are metaphors in the lyrics such as "falling down," "pushing the light against the clouds," and "all outta stars" that suggest the man is feeling lost and hopeless.
Overall, the song is about failed relationships and the bitterness and pain associated with it. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the storyline seems to unfold the consequences of infidelity and how it affects those involved.
