Superman
2:44 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some of us are reaching for stardust
Some of us are digging for gold
But it won't mean a lot on a mountaintop
When the wind reaches out for your soul

Some of us stand in the spotlight
Waiting for a round of applause
When the people go home you're left all alone
To face the sadness behind closed doors

I don't want the sun don't want you to run
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me

Some of us want silver linings
To be the belle of the ball
Going down in a blaze of glory
The story means nothing at all

I don't want the sun don't want you to run
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me

I don't want the stars or venus or mars
Don't want superman don't need wonderland




Just want you to love me just want you to love me
Don't want superman don't need wonderland

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song convey the idea that material possessions and external validation do not bring true happiness, and that what really matters in life is love and human connection. The first verse talks about how some people may pursue wealth or fame but ultimately, when their time comes, they will realize that none of it matters. The second verse describes how some people may seek recognition and attention from others but still feel empty inside. The chorus drives the point home that the singer doesn't need any grand gestures or elaborate fantasies, just the simple and profound experience of being loved by another person.


The use of Superman and Wonderland as metaphors in the chorus adds an interesting layer to the song's message. Both are associated with escapism and fantasy, and the singer is saying that these things are not necessary for her to feel happy and fulfilled. The song can be interpreted as a critique of consumer culture and the constant pressure to attain more and more, or simply as a reminder of what's truly important in life.
