Ku ikrarkan hati untuk maju melangkah pergi
Menerobos dinding-dinding gelap ini
Tak kupertanyakan lagi
Seperti waktu itu, pernah kuterjebak
Tanpa satu teman menemaniku...
Ketika aku tenggelam
Dalam kesunyian ini
Kucoba mendamaikan hatiku
Sepatutnya, aku mampu melaluinya
Menjejakkan kakiku
Meretaskan jiwa
(Ku) Tegaskan diriku untuk melewatkan hari
Dengan keyakinan hati yang kumiliki
Biar... Aku ikhlaskan peluhku
Basahi jiwaku, Sirami hatiku
Aku akan tetap terus melangkah
Selagi aku tenggelam
Dalam kesunyian ini
Kucoba mendamaikan hatiku
Sepatutnya, aku mampu melaluinya
Menjejakkan kakiku
Meretaskan jiwa
(Ketika aku tenggelam
Dalam kesunyian ini
Kucoba mendamaikan hatiku)
Sepatutnya aku mampu melaluinya
Melangkahkan kakiku
Menuju cahaya

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.”
