City lights are calling
Slowly coming back to life
Speeding in the fast lane
Mama let us waste no time

Devil in the doorway
Selling any kind of hell
We're just coming out to play the game

We never cry for love - We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain - We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong

Way to long I've tried to be
What I could never be
For too long you've rolled the dice
But you can't control me

I ain't talking 'bout romance
You may fiddle, I may dance
Anyway it's a just game we play

We never cry for love - We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain - We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong - We're superheroes

You gotta move to stay alive
We're gonna rock the bash tonight

Cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong

We never cry for love
We're superheroes
We are back where we belong
We never cry for pain
We're superheroes
Make a stand where we belong
We're superheroes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Edguy's song "Superheroes" refer to a group of people who see themselves as superheroes, people able to face and overcome any obstacle, face any challenge, and live life to the fullest. The lyrics is full of vigor and energy, describing a group of people who have a thirst for adventure, a desire to explore and live life, and who are not afraid to take risks. They seem to be a group of people who believe in living in the moment, making the most of what life has to offer, and never looking back.

The song appears to be a call to arms, a rallying cry to all those who want to live life on their own terms, to reject conformity, and to create their own destiny. The words are a warning to those who try to hold them back, telling them that they cannot be controlled, that they will not be tamed, and that they are never going to change. The song's passionate lyrics and fast-paced music seem to be an ode to individuality, bravery, and living life without fear.

Overall, "Superheroes" is a song that celebrates the spirit of adventure, freedom, and individualism. It encourages listeners to take risks, to explore life, and to be themselves. It's a song about living life to the fullest and never allowing fear to hold us back. It's a reminder that we are all superheroes in our own ways, and that we can make anything happen if we put our minds to it.

Line by Line Meaning

City lights are calling
The bright lights of the city are beckoning us to come out and play

Slowly coming back to life
After a long time of being dormant, we're now back and active

Speeding in the fast lane
We're living life on the edge and taking all the risks

Mama let us waste no time
Let's not waste any time as we take on the world

Devil in the doorway
There are many temptations and obstacles along our path

Selling any kind of hell
These temptations are trying to sell us anything that can bring us down to hell

We're just coming out to play the game
We're just here to have fun and play the game of life

We never cry for love - We're superheroes
We don't need to cry for love or rely on anyone else because we're strong and independent

We are back where we belong
We're back to our rightful place in the world

We never cry for pain - We're superheroes
We can handle any pain that life throws at us because we have the strength of superheroes

Make a stand where we belong
We're standing firm in our place in the world and won't let anyone or anything move us

Way too long I've tried to be
I've spent too much time trying to be someone I'm not

What I could never be
I realized that I can never be someone else and that I should embrace who I truly am

For too long you've rolled the dice
For too long someone else has been controlling my life and my fate

But you can't control me
But now I'm in charge of my own destiny and no one can take that away from me

I ain't talking 'bout romance
I'm not interested in love or romance at the moment

You may fiddle, I may dance
You can try to mess with me, but I'll just handle things in my own way

Anyway it's just a game we play
In the end, life is just a game we're all playing

You gotta move to stay alive
In order to survive and thrive, you need to keep moving forward and never give up

We're gonna rock the bash tonight
Tonight we're going to let loose and have some fun

Cry for love
We don't need to cry for love because we're strong on our own

We're superheroes
We have the power and strength of superheroes

I love this song, the video is hilarious! I understand this song as spitting in the face of everyone that tries to manipulate you ~ while at the same time acknowledging that we all tell ourselves a lie : We got this. We're the master. We're SuperHeros.

Thank you Edguy <3

@ZaitoNet need to put an end to mkultra. it is unnatural and still going on today. i'm afraid this pandemic was created or will be exploited to turn us all into slaves. we're taught that it is foolish to believe in conspiracies. i think it is foolish not to consider them to be possible. it's also foolish to place too much trust in, or give too much power to anyone, including any form of government.

@Terror_Train

@ZaitoNet there are a lot of terrible things that go on behind closed doors that no one talks about. The public is also distracted and their attention is focused on trivial things. I just hope to see justice someday.

I love this video so much!!! The guy with the giant net chasing the same bunny throughout the video cracks me up. His warrior scream right before he starts chasing her really gets me. Every. Single. Time. And the fact that she's running in platform heels and he still can't catch her! So hilarious.

@tmdkshaft

I think that the music video is just as much a statement as the song itself is. The message of the song is that those that we look up to are human; that sometimes they fail, and they can feel disheartened; that they aren't as perfect as we make them out to be. The video reflects this by having people that we all look up to, people in the army, having fun and getting scores of attractive women. We all know that this isn't what it's really like; the band knows this too. This was the point that

There's a personal story related to this song...
I'm 25, when i was 16 a friend of mine told me about this song and its videoclip. I remember sometimes we used to smoke and drink to this song...now i realize we were just 2 kids pretending to be men. This song became an anthem for us Now my friend is at hospital fighting for his life after a fatal motorbike crash...deep coma for months.
This song kind of keeps him "awake" in my head.
...Dude,keep fighting, we're still waiting for you to wake up.

Hi VelvetViolator yeap, I'm one of those who hasn't lots of friends, but the few friends i have are really good ones. Real,true,loyal friends...only 2. don't you worry about friendship man. Explore,Discover about you and on the way you'll make good friends. That's the secret. ;)

Edguy has got to be one of my favorite bands ever. Not just for their music. They seem like they totally don't care at all about being seen as 'hardcore' super srs rockers/metal artists, and are just out to have fun. Gotta respect that.

@AnvilHead213

Not saying anything is wrong with this catchy hard rock/metal direction they've taken, its just rather interesting to see them going from playing traditional power metal to this. They're one of the best bands i've ever seen live, that's for sure.

I haven't heard this song in years, it actually kinda hurts to listen too... reminds me of when I was in a much happier place.

I agree. I tried listening to Avantasia for newer music from the singer. Most of it wasn't what I had hoped for so I went back to Edguy. I miss the awesomeness of these guys.

@darkmelusina8388

@Ddevilislovely Well, Avantasia and Edguy have completely different vibes, I agree. Avantasia is much more serious, philosophical and polished. I love both but I miss Edguy

Judging by the title of the song you expect something else but once you hear the lyrics this video is quite suitable. If you see the funny side of it it's rather good.
