Berjalan pagi lalui hari
Warnai hitam putih hidup ini
Mencoba mencari impi
Jiwa yang tertidur
Dalam derasnya
Sisi dunia yang terus berputar
Membawa diriku
Kucoba lagi tuk berbalik
Menatap jejak yang sempit kuukir
Namun ternyata aku tertinggal
Dari langkah-langkah yang berlalu
Cepat meninggalkan diriku sendiri
Dalam sunyiku

Reff
Dan aku
Tak ingin disini tanpamu
Menanti waktu yang berlalu
Membawa ke batas nanti
Yang kurasa takkan mungkin
Kutemui selamanya
Tanpa dirimu disisiku

Begitu rupa cobaan kutemui
Mecoba menghempaskan kejalan
Penuh liku
Dan kuanggap itu semua
Bagian dari cerita hidupku
Yang takkan berakhir

Formed at Airlangga University in Indonesia, Padi (then known as Soda) performed their first show in 1996. The name change occurred a year later – it was meant to symbolize the band’s humility, as the word means rice, which is a symbol of modesty – and by 1999, the band had a deal and an album in stores. The deal, which was signed after a rep from Sony caught a performance at a pub, led to a successful appearance on a various-artists compilation.

The debut, Lain Dunia, was followed by Sesuatu Yang Tertunda in 2001. Selling nearly 500,000 copies, the band solidified its standing with the mega-hit single “Kasih Tak Sampai.” Their next album, Save My Soul, would be even bigger, hitting the half-a-million sales mark its first week after release. Padi released their fourth, self-titled, album in 2005.

There have also been a handful of compilation appearances for the group, including a 2002 World Cup album contribution, “Work of Heaven.”
