Their first single, broken lines and empty smiles, was released in august 2004. The single reached the first position in MTV Cutting Edge and lasted for 7 weeks. And later on, the single was re-recorded for the Anthems of Tomorrow v/a album which was released by dE records.
Sweet As Revenge now are more likely to be called as one of the best performing band. The energy delivered in every of their shows made the crowds feel the emotional atmosphere.
They are constantly wheeling on the edge of losing control, toeing the line between pure insanity and self-control.
Dinand in particular is manic, his voice often sounding like he was throwing every ounce of his soul into every single word. Occasionally his voice sounds so raw that you'll find yourself hitting the sore throat medicine on his behalf.
The purity of Dinand's intense delivery made any listener feel as though he really meant every single scream, cry and shout.
Febri often shows dynamic bass playing in every songs, which you can find in most swing and jazz bands, and with his hurtful scratchy vocal approach, he completed the text and make sure that the message delivered!
Powerful and aggressive rhythm guitar proved to be the back bone of their songs. Kisut treated the six-strings like a chainsaw, but you can feel the purity inside his swelling guitar bruises.
On the other side, Akmal's guitar melody seems to fill the elegant side of the songs to make it more audible. They've made a perfect duo.
Nanda's drumming is also riding that edge of complete disarray, offering her most frantic, kinetic playing on stage.
Having a rare formation as a girl-drumming band, Sweet As Revenge have managed to stand out!
Some might say, this is their best formation ever!
Kita
Sweet As Revenge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Perbedaan yang terasa sudah jadi masalah
Inikah akhirnya kata tanpa teringat sumpah
Apakah mereka sadar kita semua tak bersandar
Hadapilah kita yang tenggelam dalam hidup penuh derita
Kau hanya tunjukan bentuk kuasa tak henti
Dan aku tersiksa oleh hukum tak bertepi
Yang tak pernah ada solusi
Keadilan bagi semua, cerita lama kemana?
Omong bohong
Birokasi tanpa henti
Omong kosong
Hadapilah kita yang tenggelam dalam derita
Kau hanya tunjukan bentuk kuasa tak henti
Tak perduli semua harapan
Dan aku tersiksa oleh hukum tak bertepi
Yang tak pernah ada solusi
Lawan, lawan dan satukan kepalan
Rasa jiwa bukan ruang ′tuk derita
Lawan, lawan dan satukan kepalan
Rasa jiwa bukan ruang 'tuk derita
Kau hanya tunjukan bentuk kuasa tak henti
Tak perduli semua harapan
Dan aku tersiksa oleh hukum tak bertepi
Yang tak pernah ada solusi
Kau hanya tunjukan bentuk kuasa tak henti
Tak perduli semua harapan
Dan aku tersiksa oleh hukum tak bertepi
Yang tak pernah ada solusi
The lyrics to "Kita" by Sweet As Revenge address the struggles and frustrations of living in a world where justice and fairness seem to be absent. The opening lines convey a feeling of resignation towards the problems that plague society, particularly differences that lead to conflict. The phrase "layaknya banyak problema, ini jadi hal biasa" (like many problems, this has become commonplace) suggests a sense of hopelessness and acceptance of the status quo.
Throughout the song, the singer questions the authorities and the system that seems to perpetuate the suffering of those who are already struggling. The line "hadapilah kita yang tenggelam dalam hidup penuh derita" (let's face it, we are drowning in a life full of suffering) speaks to the overwhelming burden of hardship that some individuals and communities face. The absence of justice is further emphasized in the lyrics "keadilan bagi semua, cerita lama kemana?" (where has justice gone for all?).
Despite the bleak reality that the lyrics convey, the song offers a call to action in its chorus "lawan, lawan dan satukan kepalan" (fight and unite). This rallying cry encourages people to stand up against injustice and to come together with a sense of shared purpose. While the song acknowledges the enormity of the problems that befall society, it also offers a glimmer of hope that collective action can bring about change.
