1) Utopia, sometimes known as Todd Rundgren's Utopia, was the band Todd Rundgren formed in the early 70s to play epic progressive rock. Like many progressive bands, they eventually simplified their sound into a sort of sophisticated New Wave and experienced some success in the early MTV era with humorous videos.
The band as an entity covered all styles of music. From rock, country, pop, classical and beyond. The vocal ability of the band overall was supreme; with only Queen even coming close to range and flexibility at that time.
All members are still quite alive and very active with their own projects. Todd Rundgren continuously produces and is always at the cutting edge with computers. Roger Powell works for Apple in a high level position within their music department and Willie Wilcox produces for many artists. Kasim Sulton has his own bass model and consistenly works in music with numerous artists.
Both Todd Rundgren and Kasim Sulton participated in the formation of The New Cars, replacing original members Ric Ocasek and the now-deceased Benjamin Orr. This continued Rundgren's fascination with creating songs and sounds that mimicked other bands' works (see Utopia's Deface the Music for the band's tribute to the Beatles). The New Cars toured and released one album, which contained only three original songs (all others were live performances of The Cars hits).
2) Utopia is a pop rock band from Bandung, Indonesia. Formed on August 8, 2003, the band consists of Pia (female vocals), Indra (bass), Dodo (guitars), and Tommy (drums). As of now, the band has released three albums (in order of release date): "Utopia", "Kekal", and "Indah".

Silly Boy
Utopia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I wanted a lover I did not have to try
But I must have set my expectations far too high
Guess I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
There are some things about love that I don't understand
When you promise your heart you do the best you can
Seems I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
This is the last time I'll wait to stand in line
If you don't come see me I'm dropping the boom on you
'Cause when you lose me
Then everyone will see what a silly girl can do
Don't you tell me that it's over
Don't you make a sound
'Til I get to the river or someplace I can drown
'Cause I put my faith upon you and you let me down
Guess I'm just a silly boy
I guess I'm just a silly boy
The lyrics to "Silly Boy" by Utopia are about a person who is reflecting on their past relationships and trying to make sense of why they haven't been successful in love. The singer starts off by recalling their youth, during which time they were able to attract lovers easily without having to put in much effort. However, as they got older, they realized that finding love was not as easy as they initially thought. They admit to having set their expectations high, and now they feel like a "silly boy" for thinking that love would come easy.
The singer goes on to say that they don't fully understand love, despite trying their best to be a good partner. They feel like they are failing at being a man and are still just a "silly boy." They then threaten to leave the relationship if their partner does not start putting in more effort. The singer claims that they have put their faith in this person but feel let down by them. They conclude the song by once again admitting to being a "silly boy."
Line by Line Meaning
In the days when I was young I never had to cry
During my childhood, I was never in a situation where I had to express deep sadness or pain.
If I wanted a lover I did not have to try
Finding romantic partners was easy for me and required little effort.
But I must have set my expectations far too high
Perhaps I had unrealistic hopes and desires for my romantic relationships.
Guess I'm just a silly boy
I now realize that I may have been foolish or naïve in my romantic pursuits.
There are some things about love that I don't understand
Love is complex and there are aspects of it that are still unclear to me.
When you promise your heart you do the best you can
In romantic relationships, when you commit to someone emotionally, you try your best to make things work.
But no matter how I try behaving like a man
Even when I try to act mature and responsible in relationships, it doesn't always lead to success.
Seems I'm just a silly boy
Despite my efforts, I still feel like I lack the knowledge or experience to fully understand love and relationships.
This is the last time I'll wait to stand in line
I am no longer willing to put in effort and wait around for someone who is not reciprocating my feelings.
If you don't come see me I'm dropping the boom on you
If you don't make an effort to see me, I will take action against you.
'Cause when you lose me
By losing me as a romantic partner, you will see the consequences of your actions.
Then everyone will see what a silly girl can do
My reaction to being hurt may surprise others who view me as vulnerable or weak.
Don't you tell me that it's over
Do not announce the end of our relationship to me without my consent or agreement.
Don't you make a sound
I do not wish to hear your reasons or excuses for breaking up with me.
'Til I get to the river or someplace I can drown
I am in such emotional pain that I would rather resort to extreme measures like drowning in a river than face the reality of a failed relationship.
'Cause I put my faith upon you and you let me down
I trusted and believed in you, but you disappointed me and my expectations.
Guess I'm just a silly boy
In retrospect, I realize that I was foolish or naive in terms of my expectations and trust in you.
