Superman
Excelsior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sport-in drive
Going too fast
You have died for a while
Take your shoulders of the human race
She damned lost the place
You take thought and control the world
Put your back and then hit the wall
Superman, Superman
Better do the best we can
Superman, Superman
Go to sleep with the plan
Superman, Superman
Turn around the cape so far

I be in see the end
Walking on manly form
Love and peace all around the world
You can't cast anymore
Banning thousand from burning space
Believing in a way so ...

Superman, Superman
Better do the best we can
Superman, Superman
Go to sleep with the plan
Superman, Superman
Turn around the cape so far

Sport-in drive
Going too fast
You have died for a while
Love and peace all around the world
You can't cast anymore
Banning thousand from burning space
Believing in a way...

Superman, Superman
Better do the best we can (yeah)
Superman, Superman
Go to sleep with the plan

Superman, Superman
Better do the best we can (yeah)
Superman, Superman
Go to sleep with the plan





Superman, Superman
Better do the best we can (yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Excelsior's song "Superman" talk about a person who is going too fast and takes thought to control the world. This person seems to have lost their place in society and hits a wall despite putting in their best effort. The singer then mentions Superman and urges everyone to do the best they can, sleep with a plan and turn around the cape so far. The song then talks about walking on manly form and spreading love and peace all around the world, and the need to banish violence and believe in a better way.


The lyrics seem to be about the struggles of modern society, where people are expected to work hard and control everything around them. The song shows the struggle and the societal pressure that people feel to do the best they can, and how despite their best efforts, they cannot escape the pressures that come with it. Superheroes are also a recurring theme in the song, with Superman being mentioned multiple times. It seems to suggest that people need to aspire to be like superheroes and tackle the challenges of the world with a clear mind and a plan.
