Super Heroes
Bostwick Barry/Sarandon Susan/O'Brien Richard Lyrics

The lyrics to Bostwick Barry's song Super Heroes are deep and introspective, expressing the struggle to find truth and purpose in life. The opening lines, "I've done a lot, God knows I've tried, To find the truth, I've even lied" suggest that the singer has done everything in his power to discover the truth, but in doing so, has fallen into a state of inner turmoil. The lines "But all I know, is down inside I'm bleeding" hints at a deep emotional pain that the singer is experiencing, which cannot be easily resolved.

The song continues with the idea of super heroes coming to feast on the flesh of the not yet deceased. This is possibly a metaphor for the way that society tends to glorify and idolize people who have achieved great accomplishments, while ignoring or even taking advantage of their struggles and pain. This is further emphasized by the lines "And all I know, is still the beast is feeding", suggesting that the singer's inner turmoil continues to consume him despite the efforts of others to help or save him.

The final lines describe how humans, much like insects, are lost and wandering through time and space, searching for meaning. This, too, may be a metaphor for the deeper meaning behind the song - that people often struggle to find their purpose, and may feel lost and alone in a chaotic world.
