Formed in 1995, the band consists of Bobby Kool (vocals, guitars), Eka Rock (bass), and Jerinx (drums).

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.

Fly Away
Superman Is Dead Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could understand the breath you take
If I could understand the way you speak
And I wish I could travel by the road
That crosses to your mind

I know that you will never want to cry
I know that you came in such a disguise
And when the stars are watching us tonight

I will be leaning on the golden sky

Never let you fight alone against the heat
Cause we're gonna have no more time to loose
Having no time we will...

Fly away... Through the edge of the world
Close to fly away... Through the edge of the world
Fly away... Raise up your hands high into the sky
They wind up your heart that holding you tight

If I could spread my wings to touch your dreams
If I could paint your smile to shine my eyes
I know you got a heap of golds and pearls
, No reason to die for

I have to sing a song to make you dance
New melodies bring you much strength in life
I'll come to take shelter in the chain of light
Cause we're gonna have no more time to loose
Having no time to loose...
Having no time we will...

Stronger than the rainbows

Stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger
Leaving silly clouds of sorrow
