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.

Superman Is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Satu nusa, saling mangsa
Satu nusa, satu bangsa
Cukup sudah saling mangsa
Satu nusa, satu bangsa
Jangan pernah menyerah
Satu nusa, satu bangsa
Cukup sudah saling memangsa
T'lah ku kulihat dan ku dengar
Darah hitam mengalir deras
Semua tau hancur wajah mu
Tak ku biarkan terus menghajarmu
Tak kan ada yang sempurna
Lebih dari yang kubayangkan
Semampunya kita bayangkan
Tanah ini benar merdeka
Mungkinkah...
Satu nusa bangsa tuk slamanya
Mungkinkah...
Tawa luka ini milik semua
Dengar... Dengarkanlah nafas
Merdeka tuk slamanya...
Tanah ini, tangan ini
Kucengkram erat bumi pertiwi
Raih langit terbang lepas
Menerjang mimpi merah putih ku
Dimanapun kau berada
Hatiku akan tetap disini
Tiada dendam hari esok, tiada luka hari ini
Nafas ini tak pernah lepas
Tuk menjaga tanah airku...
Satu nusa, satu bangsa
Satu bangsa tuk slamanya
Bertahanlah bertahan, jangan pernah menyerah
Dan mimpi merah putihku terbenam saat ku mati
The lyrics to "Luka Indonesia" by Superman Is Dead address the issues of the Indonesian people who have been victims of violence, discrimination, and injustice. The song speaks about the need for unity ("Satu nusa, satu bangsa"), ending the victimization of fellow citizens ("Cukup sudah saling mangsa"), and never giving up the fight for a better future ("Jangan pernah menyerah"). The band also expresses a deep sense of love and attachment to the homeland, and a willingness to defend it at any cost ("Tanah ini, tangan ini/Kucengkram erat bumi pertiwi").
The verses reinforce the chorus message with allusions to the violence and bloodshed that have plagued Indonesia in various forms. The line "Darah hitam mengalir deras" ("Black blood flows heavily") suggests the harm caused by inter-tribal conflict, political instability, and economic inequality. The bridge further signals the hope for a better future, where all Indonesians can live in peace, regardless of their backgrounds, beliefs, or social status.
