Superhero
Dennis van Aarssen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she's scared
When she thinks she's getting older
Says she don't fit anywhere and her world is getting colder
I rush right in to rescue her
Before her hearts on zero
Save her day
And fly her away
Little things mean so much
And I can think it's no big deal
But just a word or touch
Can change the way she feels
It saves her from the manning crowds
From heartless thoughtless people
I fly her away
Save her day
I'll be her superhero
Now I'm just an ordinary man
Doing the very best I can
But sometimes when she looks at me
I feel I can't do anything
How am I gonna argue with that
But what she doesn't know is how many times she saved me
From the cold winds that blow
When she softly calls me baby
She doesn't even have a clue
That she's the one I need so
She makes my day
And flies me away
Just like a superhero
These lyrics from the song "Superhero" by Dennis van Aarssen describe a relationship where the singer takes on the role of a superhero for his partner. When she's feeling lost, scared, or overwhelmed, he rushes in to rescue her, saving her day and flying her away to a better place. He acknowledges that sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference, like a kind word or touch, and he credits his partner with saving him just as many times as he's saved her. Despite feeling like an ordinary man, he recognizes that to his partner, he's her superhero.
The theme of the song is about the power of love to inspire us to be better people and to act selflessly for the good of others. When we care deeply for someone, we're willing to go to great lengths to make them happy and to alleviate their fears and worries. The song also highlights how a strong partnership is a two-way street, with both people saving and uplifting each other in different ways.

When she's tired
I come to her aid when she's feeling fatigued and weary
When she's scared
I am her savior when her heart is filled with fear
When she thinks she's getting older
I'm there to comfort her when she worries about aging
Says she don't fit anywhere and her world is getting colder
I rescue her when she feels unloved and alone in a cold world
I rush right in to rescue her
I'm always there for her when she needs help
Before her hearts on zero
I save her before she hits rock bottom emotionally
Save her day
I make her day better by saving her from distress
And fly her away
I help her escape from her problems and pain
And be her superhero
I become her hero by being her protector and support system
Little things mean so much
Small gestures can have a huge impact on her mood and well-being
And I can think it's no big deal
Even though it may seem insignificant to me, it matters greatly to her
But just a word or touch
A simple word or touch from me can change her day for the better
Can change the way she feels
My actions have the power to improve her emotional state
It saves her from the manning crowds
I protect her from the overwhelming and insensitive people around her
From heartless thoughtless people
I shield her from the cruel and uncaring people in the world
Now I'm just an ordinary man
I'm just a regular guy, nothing special
Doing the very best I can
I'm doing all that I can to be there for her and make her happy
But sometimes when she looks at me
Even though I try my best, I feel like I don't measure up in her eyes
I feel I can't do anything
I feel powerless to fix her problems or improve her situation
How am I gonna argue with that
I can't argue with how she feels, even though I wish I could do more
But what she doesn't know is how many times she saved me
I owe her more than she realizes, because she has been there for me too
From the cold winds that blow
She has protected me from the harsh realities of life
When she softly calls me baby
Her affection and tenderness towards me is my source of comfort
She doesn't even have a clue
She doesn't realize how much she means to me
That she's the one I need so
I depend on her more than she knows
She makes my day
Her presence in my life brings joy to my day
And flies me away
She is my escape from the stresses and struggles of the world
Just like a superhero
She is my hero in the same way I am hers

We need more of this type of music. It just makes you warm inside. The kind of music that makes you joyful and melancholic at the same time.
