Bandung (pronounced [banˈduŋ]) (Indonesian: Kota Bandung) is the capital of West Java province in Indonesia, the country's third largest city, and second largest metropolitan area in Indonesia with a population of 7.4 million in 2007. Located 768 meters (2,520 ft) above sea level, approximately 140 km south eastern of Jakarta, Bandung has cooler temperatures year-round than most other Indonesian cities. The city lies on a river basin surrounded by volcanic mountains. This topography provides a good natural defense system, which was the primary reason for the Dutch East Indies government's plan to move the colony capital from Batavia to Bandung.
The Dutch colonials first established tea plantations around the mountains in the eighteenth century, and a road was constructed to connect the plantation area to the capital (180 km or 112 miles to the northwest). The Dutch inhabitants of the city demanded establishment of a municipality (gemeente), which was granted in 1906, and Bandung gradually developed itself into a resort city for plantation owners. Luxurious hotels, restaurants, cafes and European boutiques were opened, hence the city was nicknamed Parijs van Java (Dutch: "The Paris of Java").
West Bandung Regency (Kabupaten Bandung Barat) West Bandung was established in 2007, formerly it was part of Bandung Regency region of West Java. The capital of this regency is Ngamprah, an industrial district on the west side of Bandung. It is part of the Bandung Metropolitan Area.

The idea of separation of Bandung Regency that divide into 2 autonomous regency were established on 1999, based from current regent H.U. Hatta Djati Permana into the parliament about the approval of separation of Bandung regency, the regent request the parliament to concern and approve the idea of split off the area of Bandung regency. Before the split off successfully completed, Cimahi (an area consists of three sub-district, used to be part of Bandung regency) promoted to became autonomous city. After Cimahi become an autonomous region, the request on split off Bandung Regency (in this point, the separation of Western side of Bandung Regency) is growing. Finally on 2007, the government of Indonesia approved the proposal of separation of Western side of Bandung Regency to became an autonomous regency, the Western Bandung Regency. On its born, this newest regency in West Java were headed by an acting regent H. Tjatja Kuswara (officer from West Java provincial government) until April 2008, when the first direct election of West Bandung Regency Regent, with H. Abubakar and H. Agus Yasmin as the contestants, resulting H. Abubakar with his running mate Ernawan Natasaputra won the election and became the Regent and vice Regent of West Bandung Regency.

[Slug - Verse 1]
Ain't no colour paint gonna cover the stains
The pictures on the wall will all remain
And even though he's home now, sound and safe
Surrounded by the faces that he place his faith
The images visit from the past he witnessed
Can't stay away from the memories
Sticks with each detail, embedded in stone
Like he chiseled stoves convictions into his bones
The progress stops and pauses, spits and sputters
Like the basement faucet
And it's obvious he's lost in his regrets
You can smell it on his breath
[Slug - Verse 2]
Ain't no colour paint gonna cover the stains
But now the alcohol is gonna mother the pain
Tuck it away, no complaints
Just laying on his back, on hisbackyard under the rain
Take tomorrow but doesn't no how though
For every swallow there's another to follow
He weaves his way throughout the story
Looking for a new missing piece or a door key
Spirits used to be for celebration
But now they just take him away from the hell that's waiting
Re-up until it's three sheets up
And pick a place for the skeletons to meet up
[Slug - Verse 3]
Ain't no colour paint gonna cover the stains
But if the oxygen escapes it'll smother the flames
No introduction doesn't speak his own name
Gonna beat them demons at they own game
The sunset rides to the end slow
Same song echoing outside of the window
You can't grow if the skin don't fit you
Sometimes you gotta get low just to get through
No inspiration left to do your best when
Nobody hates you more than you're reflection
Suffer the shame until it stuffs the drain
He's got two hands and a bucket of paint
they want your heart, they want that I'm apart, that I'm apart
pounding life
they give me names, swear words and pain
at night - wake night, be bathed in sweat
pounding life
in the morning I catch a sight of...
pounding life
no will to give me bad names... pounding life
no way to love me... pounding life
The world you painted was new
The colors were so alive
Took a lie and made it true
A final touch and then right into the painting you dive
It's ok if you break
You'll see colors again
This is more than you can take
You'll see colors again
It's your life that's at stake
You'll see colors again
Don't you think it's my time, anytime soon
Whenever did it all happen
That one color after another seems to fade
Now the sky is carved with a coalpen
It's all gray despite the effort you made
How do you like your god now
Now that he is you
Does he feel dead somehow
And where does that leave you
It's ok if you break
You'll see colors again
This is more than you can take
You'll see colors again
It's your life that's at stake
You'll see colors again
I can't stand by and see you destroyed
I can't be here and watch you burn up
Lie for the moment and lie as a decoy
Does it matter if I give in easy?
So why is it so hard to get by?
And I say, we so down
But it's now or never baby
We don't mind if this don't last forever
See the light but it won't last forever
Seize the time 'cause it's now or never baby
Let's leave at sunrise, let's live by the ocean
And I don't mind If we never come home at all
Steal the morning so set in motion
In and out of love and institutions
'Cause I know this can't last for long
And I say, we so down
But it's now or never baby
We don't mind if this don't last forever
See the light but it won't last forever
Seize the time 'cause it's now or never baby
[Incomprehensible]
So why is it so hard to get by?
And I say, we so down
And this can't last forever
Some say we're wasting our time
But if you ask me (We're just getting started)
We're just getting started
It's not what we have now
It's whatever we will find (It's just the beginning)
It's just the beginning
Every breath we take
Everything we taste
We all grasp to add some color on our canvass
When some day we die
We will stay in...
Someone's memory forever as a masterpiece
Some have forgot about color
But I'll tell them (Fuck black & white)
Fuck black & white
It's not what we are now It's how we will be remembered
Now & forever
We've got to move on
Suspended between the delusions
I've got blood inside me
I've got mind inside me
I've got a labyrinth inside
With no way out
Pending between the misconceptions
I've got time useless for all
I've got a game

When I find peace of mind
I will try to find you, I swear
When I find peace of mind
I will try to find you, I swear
When I find peace of mind
I will come and get you, I swear for me
But I’m on fire, honey
That I have to leave
I have to leave you
'Cause I can’t be with you
I can’t be with you
When I find peace of mind
I will try to find you, I swear
When I find peace of mind
I will try to find you, I swear
When I find peace of mind
I will come and get you, I swear for me
Just give me time, honey
Let me feel the way on my own
And I would return if I can
I'd return
So just let me feel you
When I find peace of mind
I will try to find you, I swear
When I find peace of mind
crisis
observers feel
for one victim
from two parties guilty
with cold repose
with inward hate
some defend both
some abstain
try to pretend
the monster's intent
to silence with violence
and retch not from scent
genuine glee
thrill of teenage mischief
grown men swarm
to rip at the hetacomb
for one hundred lost
is three the cost?
milled to brown mire
quenched their ire
with film and sound
paint this scene
which exploits your
culture's private memes
to taste a glimpse
of passions clandestine
simulate and go to
Malam yang indah
Kau ada di sini
Mengisi kosongku
Dan berkata sayang
Tak pernah ku ragu
Hanya dirinya satu
Tak pernah ku ragu
Cerita cintaku
Reff:
Oh bintang bintang
Bawalah aku terbang tinggi
Bersamanya karena dia yang aku mau
Bintang bintang kabulkan permohonanku
Back to *, Reff
Back to Reff
Bintang bintang
Bawalah aku terbang tinggi
Bersamanya karena dia yang aku mau
Bintang bintang kabulkan permohonanku
Standing here alone
Void inside me cold
Nothing numbs the pain
Of losing you today
Words left unspoken
Distance, left unbroken... unbroken...
Will I ever get to be there by your side?
Waiting for the day to arrive
Hollowness within my soul
Binding love, heart inside it beats no more
Travel to a realm unknown
Far beyond the great divide
Rain fell slow
Needing shelter from the cold
Sifting through memories
Searching for one last glance... of you
Tears roll down my cheek
Time stands still for me... for me
Will I ever get to be there by your side?
Waiting for the day to arrive
Hollowness within my soul
Binding love, heart inside it beats no more
Travel to a realm unknown
Far beyond the great divide
I will remember you…
