Superhuman
Gabe Bondoc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish I was a plane
Wish that I was Superman
And you are Lois Lane
Wish that I could run
And be there in a flash
Bond me to your molecules
Like I was Atom Man
But I can't be superhuman
I'm just lonely
Without my woman
No I can't be
I can't be superhuman
Without you
Wish I could teleport
And not just use the telephone
I wish that I could swim to port
And just meet you later on
Sugar
Hop in my batmobile and just zoom across the town
Show you to the batcave
Show you the mansion where I get down
But I can't be superhuman
I'm just lonely
Without my woman
No I can't be
I can't be superhuman
Without you
Youre like the sun
Utility belt
Highly-advanced instruments
You are a serum experiment
For the better
For the better
No I can't be superhuman
I'm just lonely
Without my woman
No I can't be
I can't be superhuman
Without you
Without you, my love
In Gabe Bondoc's song "Superhuman," he wishes he possessed the abilities of various superheroes to make finding love easier. He wishes he were a bird or a plane to fly to his lover's side, like Superman would for Lois Lane. He even fantasizes about being a superhero that can run at superhuman speeds to be with his lover in the blink of an eye or bond to her molecules like Atom Man. Despite his best wishes, he realizes that he is simply human and cannot possess these extraordinary abilities. He acknowledges his own limitations and the fact that he feels incomplete without his love. He can't even resort to using the telephone or swim to his love's location because he wants to be with her right away.
Throughout the song, Gabe Bondoc compares his lover to various superhero icons. She is like the sun, providing warmth and life. She has a "utility belt" of skills that he admires and is an experimental serum that makes him better. She is his better half, completing him and making him feel whole. The song is a testament to the longing and desire for someone who cannot be replaced. Without his love, Gabe Bondoc feels incomplete and unable to be a "superhuman."
