Superhero
Jane's Addiction Lyrics

Yeah yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm

You were smiling by my table
Referring to a happy moment when the subject was seen smiling by the singer's table

Had to call up everyone that day
The singer felt the need to share their joy with others, so they called up everyone they knew that day

A beautiful mind and body
Complimenting the subject on not only having an attractive physical appearance but also a wonderful personality

What a happy ending I see
Expressing gratitude for an ideal situation that they are experiencing

My mind had been enabled
Acknowledging how the subject has given the singer a new perspective and helped them to see things differently

In a memory you overflowed
Reminiscing about a moment where the subject made a large impact on the singer, leaving a lasting impression

Want to be your superhero
Expressing a desire to be a protector and guardian for the subject

Even if I tumble fall
Assuring the subject that the artist will still protect them even if they make mistakes or fail

I'm ok
Calming reassurance to the subject that the artist is fine

You have that effect on me
Admitting that the subject has an effect on the singer's emotional and mental state

But I need you desperately
Expressing a strong desire for the subject's presence and support

Brick or stone cannot hurt me
Boasting that nothing can harm the singer due to their superhuman abilities

Madmen around the city go
Describing the dangerous state of the city and the possible threats around

They attack I'll bring them down
Promising to stop any potential attackers or threats

Making their chances super low
Confidently stating that the artist is capable of reducing any threats or challenges to a minimum

Oh my my, pretty naval
Complimenting the subject on their attractive naval

Dimple cheek, a face I adore
Complimenting the subject's facial features and expressing adoration towards them

Fallin' from a running horse
Emphasizing that the singer is willing to take risks and make sacrifices for the subject's sake

Hold to that elusion
Admitting that the artist is holding on to a false belief or hope

I'm not your average guy
Asserting that the artist is not an ordinary person and has unique qualities

Other guys they won't dare to
Implying that other men lack the courage to approach the subject

Join the line in order you peck
Describing the singer's willingness to join the line of men who want the subject's attention

When they introduced me to you
Recalling the moment when the artist was introduced to the subject

My face had turned to super red
Describing the singer's reaction when they met the subject, implying that they were blushing intensely

Your steady beck and call boy
Implying that the singer is always there for the subject whenever they need them

Play'n on the piano
Describing a moment when the singer was playing the piano for the subject

Oh yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm

Want to be your superhero
Reiterating the artist's desire to be a protector and guardian for the subject

Yeah I want to be your superhero
Emphasizing the singer's intention to be a superhero for the subject

Oh I want to be your superhero
Reiterating the singer's desire to be a superhero for the subject

Oh yeah
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm
