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.

Here I Am
Superman Is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm bored as fuck listening to the same punk band
My shoes are on the floor, my boxer on the door
I got no time to listen, fuck 'em many more
Here I am, staring at the walls again
Here I am, wasting time in my youth time
Here I am, start to jerking off again
Here I am, it's me will get me outta this scene
Waiting for a call, but at last she makes me fall
I guess I've got a misery of love
I feel my head gets burn, my whole body gets cut
My spirit's gone, hey you! Come and get it back
Start to jerking off again, cos got no chick in my hand
Sitting here alone again, staring to those stuff again
Listen to that punk again, get hurt at my fucking ear
That's all about me, mutha mutha fucka!
