Bender Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Emerald eyes peak through open sores
Steal my brain and pick my wings apart
Blow my mind your life's a waste
You're not superfly
You're not superfly
You're not superfly
Self conceit last one to defeat
Build me up vultures peck your feet
Steal my brain and pick my wings apart
Angry soul your life's a waste
You're not superfly
You're not superfly
You're not superfly
You're not super
Alone I am
Alone I am
Alone I am
Alone
One nine eight four that's where you still are
Your fucking wig was never shit
That still born jam was not my fault
Down you brought you down we brought you down
You're not superfly
You're not superfly
You're not superfly
You're not super
The song Superfly by Bender is a scathing critique of someone who is envious and self-conceited, believing themselves to be a cut above others but ultimately being nothing more than a waste of space. The lyrics describe how this person is filled with jealousy towards the singer, represented by their "emerald eyes" peeking through open sores. The lines "steal my brain and pick my wings apart" describe how this person seeks to undermine and destroy the singer's confidence and creativity. The chorus repeats over and over again, emphasizing the point that this person is not "superfly" - they are not as cool or talented as they think they are.
The second verse goes even further in tearing down this person's sense of self-worth. The singer calls them out for their arrogance and warns that they will ultimately be defeated by their own hubris. The line "build me up vultures peck your feet" suggests that this person is only interested in using the singer for their own gain, and will ultimately be left alone and unsupported. The final verse is perhaps the most cutting, as it references a past failure (the "still-born jam") and implies that this person is stuck in the past, unable to move forward.
Overall, Superfly is a powerful and angry song that speaks to anyone who has ever encountered someone who is full of themselves but ultimately lacking in substance.
