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.

Kuta Rock City
Superman Is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the scars around your back
Never slip and never fall, we are young and we are free
So we sing it loud and clear
Like a rocket like a bomb, do we have to take it slow
BRIDGE:
And then here we are again
CHORUS:
In Kuta Rock City, where the evil dance
Kuta Rock City, where the hero dies
Kuta Rock City, where's all my cash
Kuta Rock City, please don't break my heart again
It is late and getting hot, with the engine running fast
Story of suburban trash
Against every think you know, like a rebel with a gun
No time for society
Recognize and realize, move be just a little fast
The lyrics of "Kuta Rock City" by Superman Is Dead depict a wild party scene in the city of Kuta, Bali. The first verse sets the tone for the song, encouraging listeners to let loose and have a good time. The scars around the back could indicate the past experiences or mistakes of those at the party, but they are determined not to slip or fall. The lyrics suggest that youth and freedom are celebrated in this place, with everyone singing loud and clear. The second verse adds to this image of hedonism with the mention of tequila and Cadillac girls, both of which are often associated with excess.
The bridge of the song seems to acknowledge the fleeting nature of this lifestyle. Here they are again, having the same wild time as before, but there is a feeling that this cannot continue forever. The chorus reinforces this idea that Kuta Rock City is a place where things are constantly in flux. It is where the evil dance and the hero dies, where all of your money can be lost, and where hearts can be broken. The chorus suggests some of the consequences of living this wild lifestyle, but the song ultimately celebrates it anyway.
