Superpower
Beyoncé feat Frank Ocean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That feels different
From when your hands are in mine
That's just the way it is
And when my voice is screaming out to my own ears
That feels different
From when I hear yours
Now that's just the way it is
After all these years
What I'm viewing is a little different
From what your eyes show you
I guess I didn't see myself before you
Moving forward
Super power
A subtle power
Super power
A tough love
Super power
Like a shark
Super power
Like a bear
A tough love
And I thought the world would move on
I thought the world would move on
Without us, without us, without us
But nothing I know could slow us down
Couldn't tow us down
I thought I could live without you
'Cause nothing I know can break us
Down
They can't break us down
And just like you I can't be scared
Just like you I hope I'm spared
But it's tough love
I know you feel it in the air
Even the babies know it's there
Tough love
Super power
The laws of the world tell us what goes sky
And what falls
It's a super power
Super power
The laws of the world never stopped us once
'Cause together we got plenty super power
Super power
A subtle power
Super power
A tough love
Super power
Like a shark
Super power
Too much to bare
Super power
And I thought the world would move on
I thought the world would move on
Without us, without us, without us
But nothing I know could slow us down
Couldn't tow us down
I thought I could live without you
But together we got plenty power
Nothing I know can break us down
They can't break us down
Yes we can
Couldn't break us down
They couldn't break us down
In the song "Superpower" by Beyoncé featuring Frank Ocean, the lyrics explore the power of love and the concept that being with someone can change your perception of yourself and the world around you. The first verse compares the feeling of holding one's own hands to holding someone else's hands, highlighting the difference in sensations between self-love and love with another person. The second verse talks about how being with someone can give one a new perspective on themselves and their image in the mirror.
The chorus speaks to the idea of having a "superpower" that comes from the strength of love. This power is compared to that of a shark or bear, and the song suggests that nothing in the world can stop it - even the laws of the universe. Beyoncé and Frank Ocean sing about a kind of love that can withstand anything and cannot be broken.
In the bridge, they acknowledge that tough love exists, but even babies can feel the unbreakable force of love. They both hope that they will be "spared" and that love will continue to be a superpower in their lives, despite any challenges that may arise.
Overall, "Superpower" is an exploration of the transformative power of love and the idea that being with someone else can change our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. It suggests that love has a strength that is unmatched by anything in the universe and that it cannot be broken or slowed down.
Line by Line Meaning
When the palm of my two hands hold each other
The sensation is unique when my two hands are clasped together
That feels different
It is unlike any other feeling
From when your hands are in mine
When you hold my hands, it feels even better than when I hold my own hands
That's just the way it is
It's just a fact, a truth I can't ignore
And when my voice is screaming out to my own ears
When I'm shouting and only I can hear it
That feels different
It's different from when I hear your voice
From when I hear yours
When I hear your voice, it's more comforting
Now that's just the way it is
This is just another truth
And when I'm standing in this mirror
When I'm looking at myself
After all these years
After a long time has passed
What I'm viewing is a little different
What I see about myself is different from what you see about me
From what your eyes show you
The way you see me is different from how I see myself
I guess I didn't see myself before you
I didn't fully understand myself until I had you
Moving forward
Looking towards the future, continuing on
Super power
A unique strength or ability
A subtle power
A strength that may not be immediately noticeable
A tough love
Love that requires effort and perseverance
Like a shark
A powerful and efficient predator
Like a bear
A strong and formidable force
Too much to bare
Overwhelming and difficult to handle
And I thought the world would move on
I believed that life would continue without us
Without us, without us, without us
We wouldn't be a part of the world
But nothing I know could slow us down
Nothing can stop us from moving forward
Couldn't tow us down
Can't pull us back, can't stop us
I thought I could live without you
I believed I could go on without you
'Cause nothing I know can break us down
Because I believe we are strong and can overcome anything
They can't break us down
No one can destroy us
Yes we can
Together, we can do anything
Couldn't break us down
We are resilient and cannot be broken
They couldn't break us down
No one can destroy our love
