[Lirik "Lingkaran"]

[Verse 1]
Saat kuterjebak dalam
Lingkaran
Bayangan gelap
Menuang tak bertepi
Tak berujung batas
Membuat aku tak kuasa ingin menentang

[Verse 2]
Jauh kini kusadari
Hidupku sungguh
Bersama engkau sangat berarti
Terasah godaan hidup
Namun kau masih di sisiku
Temani segala resah hatiku

[Chorus]
Sekiranya aku bisa mimpi indah
Aku tak akan tersesat jauh
Sekiranya aku mungkin terlepas
Meski beranjak pergi
Meninggalkan
Engkau sendiri

[Verse 3]
Sepatutnya aku telah
Terjatuh
Kini aku jauh lebih mengerti
Tak pernah aku merasa
Betapa naifnya aku
Apa yang harus aku tinggalkan aku lupakan

[Chorus]
Sekiranya aku bisa mimpi indah
Aku tak akan tersesat jauh
Sekiranya aku mungkin terlepas
Meski beranjak pergi
Meninggalkan
Engkau sendiri

[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
Sekiranya aku bisa mimpi indah
Aku tak akan tersesat jauh lagi
Sekiranya aku mungkin terlepas
Meski beranjak pergi
Meninggalkan
Engkau sendiri
Pergi lepas

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Di mana kawanku
Ooh, semakin menjauh
Beri aku ruang

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.”
