Superhero
Aneiki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took the fears inside my head
And laid them on our kitchen table
Nothing to be afraid of.
You're the saviour that I prayed for
So of course there's room here
For you and your white horse.
You're my superman in plain clothes
Your X-ray eyes can read my mind
You already know
Your theme song's always playing on my stereo
You're incognito, Superman in plain clothes
Superhero
You drive me crazy with the way
You come home windblown every day
And tell me how you took the world on.
The bad guys had me in free fall
But just in time you saved me from it all.
You're my superman in plain clothes
Your X-ray eyes can read my mind
You already know
Your theme song's always playing on my stereo
You're incognito, Superman in plain clothes
Superhero
The lyrics of Aneiki's song “Superhero” are an ode to a person who has come into the singer's life and alleviated their fears and insecurities. The song speaks about the transformative power of love in a person's life. The singer has found solace in the company of this person who they describe as “Superman in plain clothes” because of the way he saves them when they feel like they are falling apart.
The first verse of the song explains how the singer trusts and confides in this person who is “forgiveness left unsaid”. This implies that the person has probably helped the singer forgive themselves, or forgive someone else, without necessarily talking about it. The second line of the verse, “You took the fears inside my head”, highlights the transformative power of this person's presence in the singer's life. The singer then goes on to explain how this person has become the kind of savior they had always longed for, and that they happily make room for them.
The chorus of the song reiterates the idea that this person is a superhero in the singer's life, and that they have changed everything for the better. The line, “Your X-ray eyes can read my mind, you already know”, suggests that this person knows the singer better than they know themselves, which is an indication of the level of trust that has been built between them. The song is a testament to how love, and the presence of someone who truly cares about us, can have the power to transform a person's life.

Listen VERY carefully to this and see if you can spot the segment that plays in "Batman Beyond: Return of the joker" at the moment when Tim Drake/Joker Jr's laughter turns into crying!
