02Tulisan DarahWritten in Blood3:19“Pisau bukan senjata, tapi kuas”The knife is not a weapon, but a brush
Malam jadi saksi⁠…The night bears witness⁠…Langkahku sunyi, tapi tiap tapak bersuara⁠…My steps are silent, but every footprint speaks⁠…
Langit gelap, hatiku lebih kelamThe sky is dark, my heart is darkerMusuh berdiri? Gak lama mereka tenggelamEnemies standing? Not for long, they go underCakar tajam, ku robek bisuSharp claws, I tear in silenceJerit lo musik buat langkahku majuYour scream is the music that moves me forwardDaging lo simbol dendam lamaYour flesh, a symbol of old vengeanceKubur di hutan, jadi santapan faunaBuried in the forest, a feast for the animalsGigi lo kupetik, rantai ku hiasiI pluck your teeth to decorate my chainJadi kenangan manis, tiap darah yang teririsA sweet memory, every drop of blood that is cut
Binatang malam makan dengan tenangThe night animals eat in peaceTulang di kalung, kenangan berdentangBones on a necklace, memories that clangGak butuh pengampunan, cuma kebisuanI don't need forgiveness, only silenceMayat bicara lewat karya dan gerakanThe corpse speaks through the work and the motion
Tangan berdarah, mata membaraBloody hands, burning eyesLangkah ku sadis, hati membaraMy step is sadistic, my heart ablazeTulang jadi seni, daging jadi legendaBone becomes art, flesh becomes legendNamaku ditulis pakai tinta darahMy name is written in blood ink
Satu-satu gue cabut dari bayangOne by one I pull them from the shadowsLo pikir lo kuat? Tapi gue datang tanpa sayangYou think you're strong? But I come without mercyPisau bukan senjata, tapi kuasThe knife is not a weapon, but a brushLukis wajah lo di tanah dengan puasI paint your face on the ground with satisfactionRitual dimulai saat lo berteriakThe ritual begins when you screamTapi malam diem, cuma angin yang menyimakBut the night stays quiet, only the wind is listeningLuka bukan akhir, tapi awal ceritaThe wound is not the end, but the start of the storyDan lo jadi bagian dari karya nerakaAnd you become part of hell's masterpiece
Darahmu⁠… bukan akhir⁠…Your blood⁠… is not the end⁠…Tulangmu⁠… ukiran abadi⁠…Your bones⁠… an eternal carving⁠…Namamu⁠… lenyap dalam sunyi⁠…Your name⁠… vanishes into silence⁠…
Tangan berdarah, mata membaraBloody hands, burning eyesLangkah ku sadis, hati membaraMy step is sadistic, my heart ablazeTulang jadi seni, daging jadi legendaBone becomes art, flesh becomes legendNamaku ditulis pakai tinta darahMy name is written in blood ink

03Penjaga RohSpirit Guardian2:53“Aku anak tanah, dan tanah ini gak akan kalah”I am a child of this soil, and this soil will not lose
Dari darah leluhur aku bangkit⁠…From the blood of my ancestors I rise⁠…Di bawah bulan, kutemui bayangan hitam⁠…Under the moon, I meet a black shadow⁠…
Asap kemenyan naik ke langitIncense smoke rises to the skyGendang dipukul, roh mulai bangkitThe drum is struck, the spirits begin to riseMata tertutup, jiwaku terbukaEyes closed, my soul opensLangkahku masuk ke dunia berbedaMy steps enter a different world
Di tengah hutan, suara gemetarIn the middle of the forest, a trembling voiceNama setan dipanggil oleh pelanggarThe devil's name called by the trespassersLidah bercabang, mata merah membaraForked tongue, red eyes blazingTapi aku datang bawa senjata suci warisan para rajaBut I come bearing the sacred weapon, the heirloom of kings
Omong kosong lo gak kuat lawan doaYour nonsense is no match for prayerTaring lo patah oleh mantra tuaYour fangs are broken by an old spellTulang leluhur berdiri di sampingkuThe bones of my ancestors stand beside meLo pikir lo dewa? Lo cuma tamuYou think you're a god? You're only a guest
Panggil roh!Call the spirits!Aku berdiriI standHancurkan setan!Destroy the devil!Dengan darah sendiriWith my own bloodBakar bayangan!Burn the shadows!Dengan api hatiWith the fire of the heartAku penjaga!I am the guardian!Dari bumi hingga matiFrom this earth until death
Tubuhku luka, tapi jiwaku nyalaMy body is wounded, but my soul is alightDari Kalimantan sampai NusaFrom Kalimantan to NusaLangit bergetar dengar namakuThe sky trembles hearing my nameDi antara roh, aku pemburuAmong the spirits, I am the hunter
Lo pikir lo bisa rebut tanah suci?You think you can seize the sacred land?Gue panggil nenek moyang dari setiap sisiI call the ancestors from every sideTopeng perang, tombak pusakaWar mask, heirloom spearSatu tikaman buat hilangkan durhakaOne thrust to wipe out the treachery
(Vani)(Vani)Angin bicara⁠… air berteriak⁠…The wind speaks⁠… the water screams⁠…Tanah buka rahasia⁠… langit gelap⁠…The earth opens its secrets⁠… the sky goes dark⁠…Tapi aku tak takut, aku anak tanahBut I am not afraid, I am a child of this soilDan tanah ini gak akan kalahAnd this soil will not lose
Panggil roh!Call the spirits!Aku berdiriI standHancurkan setan!Destroy the devil!Dengan darah sendiriWith my own bloodBakar bayangan!Burn the shadows!Dengan api hatiWith the fire of the heartAku penjaga!I am the guardian!Dari bumi hingga matiFrom this earth until death
Setan pun tahu⁠…Even the devil knows⁠…Bukan semua manusia bisa dilahap⁠…Not every human can be devoured⁠…Karena ada yang dijaga⁠…Because some are guarded⁠…Dengan roh, tulang, dan nyawa⁠…With spirit, bone, and life⁠…

04Bayang NerakaShadow of Hell3:19“Aku bukan malaikat, bukan juga setan. Hidup di neraka, tapi nyawa belum padam”Not an angel, not a devil either. Living in hell, but the life has not gone out
Bayang neraka⁠… hidupku tak nyata⁠…Shadow of hell⁠… my life isn't real⁠…Tarik nafas, tapi udara pun menolak⁠…I draw a breath, but even the air refuses⁠…
Kubuka mata, mimpi buruk belum redaI open my eyes, the nightmare hasn't stoppedBayang gelap ikat leherku macam gadaA dark shadow binds my neck, heavy as a maceSetan berbisik, "Lo emang gak guna"The devil whispers, "You really are useless"Tiap langkah ku ambil, dunia makin hampaEvery step I take, the world grows emptier
Silet di tangan, luka jadi mantraRazor in hand, the wound becomes a mantraHati beku, cinta udah gak terasaHeart frozen, I can't feel love anymoreTeriak ke langit, tapi langit gak dengerI scream at the sky, but the sky doesn't hearDoa jadi racun, hidup makin bangerPrayer turns to poison, life reeks more each day
Dengar bisikan⁠…Hear the whisper⁠…Dari bawah tanah⁠…From under the ground⁠…Kubur terbuka,The grave opens,Namaku tertulis merah⁠…My name is written in red⁠…
Aku bukan malaikat, bukan juga setanI'm not an angel, not a devil eitherHidup di neraka, tapi nyawa belum padamLiving in hell, but the life hasn't gone outJangan coba sentuh, jiwa gue berkaratDon't try to touch me, my soul is rustedGue udah mati, tapi tetap berjalanI'm already dead, but I keep walking
Asap ngebul dari luka yang keringSmoke curls from the wounds that have driedNgomong cinta? Gue cuma nyeringai dinginTalk about love? I just sneer, coldSemua janji cuma jebakan manisEvery promise is just a sweet trapTeman jadi bangkai, lo percaya manis?Friends become carcasses, and you still believe in sweet?
Di kamar gelap, dengar jerit dalam kepalaIn the dark room, hearing screams inside my headDetak jam jadi martil, gue mati tiap detiknyaThe ticking clock is a hammer, I die every secondNapas makin berat, dada jadi medan perangBreathing gets heavier, my chest becomes a battlefieldTapi senyum gue palsu—topeng neraka yang terangBut my smile is fake—a bright mask of hell
Apa lo lihat bayang itu?Do you see that shadow?Itu bukan gue⁠…That's not me⁠…Itu sisa dari gue⁠…That's what's left of me⁠…
Aku bukan malaikat, bukan juga setanI'm not an angel, not a devil eitherHidup di neraka, tapi nyawa belum padamLiving in hell, but the life hasn't gone outJangan coba sentuh, jiwa gue berkaratDon't try to touch me, my soul is rustedGue udah mati, tapi tetap berjalanI'm already dead, but I keep walking
Kubakar masa lalu⁠…I burn the past⁠…Kubakar nama gue⁠…I burn my name⁠…Dari abu ini⁠…From these ashes⁠…Lahir gue yang baru⁠… atau enggak sama sekali⁠…A new me is born⁠… or nothing at all⁠…

05Rakyat BangkitThe People Rise3:16“Kalau suara kita dibungkam, kami teriak lewat nada!”If our voices are silenced, we scream through the notes!
Mereka bilang kita bebas⁠…They say we are free⁠…Tapi rantai masih di leher!But the chain is still on our necks!Dengar suara rakyat!Hear the voice of the people!
2019, mahasiswa turun ke jalan2019, students take to the streetsGas air mata jawabannya, bukan harapanTear gas is the answer, not hopeMereka duduk di kursi, makan janjiThey sit in their seats, eating promisesKita berdiri, dibakar, diinjak, disakitiWe stand, get burned, trampled, hurt
Tanah dicuri atas nama "izin"Land stolen in the name of "permits"Hutan dibakar, rakyat disisihkanForests burned, the people pushed asideElit berseragam tersenyum di layarElites in uniform smile on the screenTapi darah buruh membasahi pagarBut workers' blood soaks the fence
Bangkit! Bangkit! Buka matamu!Rise! Rise! Open your eyes!Hukum bukan adil, tapi alat musuh!The law isn't justice, it's the enemy's tool!Bangkit! Bangkit! Suara dijerat!Rise! Rise! Our voices are snared!Rakyat bersatu, sistem kiamat!The people united, the system's doomsday!
Demo damai jadi alasan pemukulanA peaceful protest becomes an excuse for beatingsMedia bisu, dibeli kekuasaanThe media is mute, bought by powerAnak petani jadi korban kebijakanFarmers' children become victims of policySementara DPR selfie dalam kenyamananWhile the DPR takes selfies in comfort
KPK dikikis pelan-pelanThe KPK is whittled away, slowlyKatanya demi reformasi yang "aman"They say it is for a "safe" reformPadahal yang aman cuma kantong sendiriWhen the only thing kept safe is their own pocketsDan yang mati? Cuma kita, tiap hariAnd who dies? Only us, every day
Lo pikir ini negara buat semua?You think this country is for everyone?Coba lo lahir bukan di kotaTry being born outside the cityLihat siapa yang punya suaraSee who gets a voiceDan siapa yang cuma jadi angkaAnd who is only a number
Bangkit! Bangkit! Buka matamu!Rise! Rise! Open your eyes!Hukum bukan adil, tapi alat musuh!The law isn't justice, it's the enemy's tool!Bangkit! Bangkit! Suara dijerat!Rise! Rise! Our voices are snared!Rakyat bersatu, sistem kiamat!The people united, the system's doomsday!
Ini bukan lagu⁠… ini perlawanan⁠…This is not a song⁠… this is resistance⁠…Ini bukan seni⁠… ini senjata⁠…This is not art⁠… this is a weapon⁠…Kalau suara kita dibungkam⁠…If our voices are silenced⁠…Kami teriak lewat nada!We scream through the notes!

06Tidak, Pak, Bukan UntukkuNo, Sir, Not for Me2:00“Kamu bukan temanku. Kamu cuma bajingan yang kebetulan ada di sini”You are not my friend. You are just a bastard who happens to be here
Kamu bilang kamu mencintai teman-temanmuYou say you love your friendsKamu memanggil mereka "saudara" saat mereka ada di depanmuYou call them "brother" when they are standing in front of youTapi apakah kamu akan menggantung seseorang dari atap jika mereka memintamu?But would you hang someone from a roof if they asked you to?(Kurasa tidak)(I don't think so)
Pergi sanaGet out of hereTukang omong manisSweet-talkerKamu bukan temankuYou're not my friendKamu cuma bajingan yang kebetulan ada di siniYou're just a bastard who happens to be here
Kamu bilang kamu mencintai teman-temanmuYou say you love your friendsTapi kamu abaikan panggilan merekaBut you ignore their calls(Apa yang akan kamu lakukan untuk mereka?)(What would you do for them?)Apakah kamu akan menghajar seseorang sampai setengah mati di kamar mandi jika mereka memintamu?Would you beat someone half to death in a bathroom if they asked you to?
Pergi sanaGet out of hereTukang omong manisSweet-talkerKamu bukan temankuYou're not my friendKamu cuma bajingan yang kebetulan ada di siniYou're just a bastard who happens to be here
Kamu bilang kamu mencintai teman-temanmuYou say you love your friendsTapi kamu terus lupa menulis surat saat mereka di penjaraBut you keep forgetting to write when they're in prisonTapi kamu merasa bangga setelah menyumbang lima dolar untuk jaminan merekaBut you feel proud after chipping in five dollars for their bail
Pergi sanaGet out of hereTukang omong manisSweet-talkerKamu bukan temankuYou're not my friendKamu cuma bajingan yang kebetulan ada di siniYou're just a bastard who happens to be hereBadut sialanDamn clown

07Kekasih HaramForbidden Lovers3:20“Kecanduanku adalah raja, dan aku hanyalah seorang budak”My addiction is king, and I am only a slave
Sunyi malam, hanya aku dan botol iniSilent night, just me and this bottleDi sudut kamar, lari dari duniawiIn the corner of the room, running from the worldTuhan, aku malu, dahi ini tak pernah menyentuh sajadahGod, I'm ashamed, this forehead has never touched the prayer matSetiap tegukan adalah dosa, aku tahu ini salahEvery sip is a sin, I know this is wrongTapi sepi ini membunuh, lebih dingin dari matiBut this loneliness kills, colder than deathDan hanya dia yang membuatku merasa berartiAnd only she makes me feel like I matter
Oh, pil manisku, anggur merahkuOh, my sweet pill, my red wineKalian kekasih haram yang selalu kurinduYou are the forbidden lovers I always long forDalam dekapan mabukmu, aku merasa tenangIn your drunken embrace, I feel calmBisikan surga hilang, bisikan setan yang menangHeaven's whisper is gone, the devil's whisper winsAku tahu jalan ini menuju nerakaI know this road leads to hellTapi cintaku padamu lebih besar dari rasa takutku pada-NyaBut my love for you is greater than my fear of Him
Satu butir lagi, 'tuk hilangkan gemetarOne more pill, to stop the shakingSatu gelas lagi, agar berani menantang takdirOne more glass, to dare to defy fateKawan-kawanku menjauh, mereka bilang aku kotorMy friends drift away, they say I'm filthyMereka tak mengerti pelukan hangat alkoholThey don't understand the warm embrace of alcoholDia tak pernah menghakimi, tak pernah bertanyaShe never judges, never asksHanya memberiku lupa dari semua rasa laraShe only gives me forgetting from all the pain
Oh, pil manisku, anggur merahkuOh, my sweet pill, my red wineKalian kekasih haram yang selalu kurinduYou are the forbidden lovers I always long forDalam dekapan mabukmu, aku merasa tenangIn your drunken embrace, I feel calmBisikan surga hilang, bisikan setan yang menangHeaven's whisper is gone, the devil's whisper winsAku tahu jalan ini menuju nerakaI know this road leads to hellTapi cintaku padamu lebih besar dari rasa takutku pada-NyaBut my love for you is greater than my fear of Him
Di dasar gelas, kulihat bayanganku sendiriAt the bottom of the glass, I see my own reflectionSeorang pendosa yang lelah, terikat dan tak bisa lariA tired sinner, bound and unable to runIngin kupecahkan botol ini, ingin kubuang semua pilI want to smash this bottle, I want to throw away all the pillsTapi tanganku terbelenggu, jiwaku telah kerdilBut my hands are shackled, my soul has shrunkAku sudah terlalu jauh, untuk kembali pulangI've gone too far to come back homeKecanduanku adalah raja, dan aku hanyalah seorang budakMy addiction is king, and I am only a slave
Oh, pil manisku, anggur merahkuOh, my sweet pill, my red wineKalian kekasih haram yang selalu kurinduYou are the forbidden lovers I always long forDalam dekapan mabukmu, aku merasa tenangIn your drunken embrace, I feel calmBisikan surga hilang, bisikan setan yang menangHeaven's whisper is gone, the devil's whisper winsAku tahu jalan ini menuju nerakaI know this road leads to hellTapi cintaku padamu lebih besar dari rasa takutku pada-NyaBut my love for you is greater than my fear of Him
Biarlah⁠… biarlah api membakarku nantiLet it be⁠… let the fire burn me laterKemenangan ini terlalu manis untuk disesaliThis victory is too sweet to regretYa, kecanduanku selalu menang⁠…Yes, my addiction always wins⁠…Selalu menang⁠…Always wins⁠…Sampai jumpa di neraka.See you in hell.

Hitam pekat di kornea, tak ada cahaya tersisaPitch black in the cornea, no light leftArwah penasaran berbisik, tarik aku ke nerakaRestless spirits whisper, dragging me to hellDarah di altar, tumbal untuk entitas fanaBlood on the altar, a sacrifice for a mortal entityJiwa terkoyak, terbelah, dogma usang tak bergunaSoul torn, split, worn-out dogma uselessAku berjalan di antara bayang, dunia kasat mataI walk among the shadows, the world beyond sightMelihat yang tak terlihat, lidah kelu tak berkataSeeing what cannot be seen, tongue numb, unable to speakMereka bilang ku gila, sesat, pembawa celakaThey say I'm mad, a heretic, a bringer of ruinTapi di inti kehampaan, kutemukan semestaBut at the core of the void, I found the universe

11PenutupOutro4:55instrumental

Korupsi adalah album perdana Ledakan Pemuda. Rekaman pertama dibuat di Jakarta pada 2019, di tengah gelombang unjuk rasa. Produser Patrick Padgett merampungkannya dari Amerika Serikat selama enam tahun berikutnya dan merilisnya pada 1 Juni 2025.

Alat musik tradisional Indonesia dibenturkan dengan bass dubstep modern. Vokal Adi Saputra dan Mukti Satria, direkam pada sesi 2019, diimbangi oleh Vani.

Liriknya bicara tentang kecanduan, kematian, amarah, dan perlawanan: satu lagu tentang unjuk rasa 2019, yang lain tentang botol dan pil, bayang-bayang di kamar gelap, roh leluhur, dan pocong di bawah pohon kamboja. Sebelas lagu, 36 menit, dibuka dan ditutup dengan instrumental.

Korupsi is the debut album by Ledakan Pemuda. The first recordings were made in Jakarta in 2019, during the protests. Producer Patrick Padgett finished the record from the United States over the next six years and released it on June 1, 2025.

Traditional Indonesian instruments against modern dubstep bass. The vocals of Adi Saputra and Mukti Satria, from the 2019 sessions, are counterbalanced by Vani.

The lyrics are about addiction, mortality, anger and revolution: one song about the 2019 protests, the others about the bottle and the pill, shadows in a dark room, ancestral spirits, and a pocong under the frangipani tree. Eleven tracks, 36 minutes, framed by an instrumental intro and outro.
