Spent most of 2002 practicing and performing their own materials, as well as classic R&B standards from The Who, The Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix, The Kinks, some Sex Pistols and The Clash. Early 2003, Edo left due to day job commitment as magazine editor. Enter Eka Annash (Rully's older brother), who intensified the whole song writing and performing activities, and changed the band's name to The Brandals. Throughout 2003 The Brandals been thru fire and high water, performing their string of original materials such as 100 km/jam, Lingkar Labirin, Marching Menuju Maut, Moonlight Chid, etc. Recording process started on March to October 2003 in The Doors (East Jakarta) recording studio, which resulted in the released of their DIY debut album 'The Brandals'. The album, which distributed nation wide by a small indie label Sirkus Record, sold 7500 copy. An impressive number for an indie release. The Band continued their guerilla promo strategy, performed on underground gigs and uni/highschool music events. Promoting their album to various medias, and gain national highlight as one of the most notorious rock n roll band from the capital state of Indonesia, thanks to their lewd, provoking, disorderly act. Despite the disturbing image, The Brandals won critical approval from the medias and fans throughout the nation. Touring Java, Bali and Sumatera on 2004. Recording for the second album commenced on November 2004 at Studio 18 Jakarta. 14 new materials were recorded under Flystation label. Gruelling working hours were paid off when the album's finished in May 2005. After few months of distribution search, the band hooked up with Warner Music for a distribution deal nation wide and presented what would be their best release yet, the eclectic 'Audio Imperialist'. The album infused punk's ferocious, rockabilly's rhythm with country tinged rock n roll. Fuelled with lyrical contents that speaks urban life obsession on decadence, social injustice and rejected romance gone bad. Right now, the band's doing what they do best : touring, playing, spitting rough facts about the band's myth and bollocks...independently.

Obsesi Mesin Kota
The Brandals Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Di tepi trotoar dia menebar seribu rayu pesona
Dia bilang,"Hey sayang! Setiap sudut kota ini ada harganya
Terkoyak koyakjantung metropolitan tak pernah kenal cinta
Terbakar emosi penyakit doping kimia di dalam dada

Jatuh semakin dalm
Sampai datangnya malam
Tapi awasjangan sampai cinta tertinggal

Terus jejar!!!
Jaangan sampai tertinggal

Jantung hati dan cinta
OBSESI MESIN KOTA

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Brandals's song Obsesi Mesin Kota talk about the hustle and bustle of city life, and how it can sometimes take hold of us and consume us. The first verse mentions the noise of the city streets and how it can wake us up from our dreams, while the second verse talks about a person on the sidewalk who is tempting someone with the idea that everything in the city has a price. The chorus emphasizes the idea of not getting left behind, whether it's in the pursuit of success or love, and the final call to action at the end of the song emphasizes the idea of continuing to chase after one's dreams in the city.

This song paints a vivid picture of the city and the struggles that can come with living in such an environment. It emphasizes the fast-paced nature of city life and the importance of keeping up with it to avoid being left behind. The lyrics suggest that city life can be both alluring and dangerous, and it's up to us to navigate it wisely.

Line by Line Meaning

Berisik mesin kota bangunkan mata yang yang tertutup mimpi
The noisy city machines awaken those who have been dreaming with their eyes closed

Roda nasib berputar mengejar ke ujung matahari
Fate's wheels turn as they chase the setting sun

Siapa myang lebih cepat ayo tikung balap kanan kiri
Whoever is faster, let's weave through the race track from left to right

Setiap sudut jalan sempit senggol gang uang berbunyi
Every narrow street corner bumps into an alleyway, the sound of money ringing

Jauh semakin kelam
Farther and darker

Sampai datangnya malam
Until nightfall

Tapi awas jangan sampai hati tartinggal
But beware, don't leave your heart behind

Di tepi trotoar dia menebar seribu rayu pesona
On the sidewalk, she spreads a thousand charming temptations

Dia bilang,"Hey sayang! Setiap sudut kota ini ada harganya
She says, 'Hey darling! Everything in this city comes with a price tag'

Terkoyak koyakjantung metropolitan tak pernah kenal cinta
The torn heart of the metropolis has never known love

Terbakar emosi penyakit doping kimia di dalam dada
Emotions burn with the sickness of chemical doping in the chest

Jatuh semakin dalm
Falling deeper

Sampai datangnya malam
Until nightfall

Tapi awasjangan sampai cinta tertinggal
But beware, don't let love get left behind

Terus jejar!!!
Keep moving forward!!!

Jaangan sampai tertinggal
Don't get left behind

Jantung hati dan cinta
Heart, soul, and love
