Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

I'm trying to keep
The ground on my feet
It seems the world's falling down around me
The nights are all long
Yeah, I'm singing this song
To try and make the answers more than maybe

And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of sheep
My mind is racing faster every minute
But could I do more?
Yeah, I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles but I can't quit

And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

Controlling everything in sight
Feeling weak, I don't feel right
You're telling me I have to change
Telling me to act my age
What if all that I can do
Is just sit and watch time go
Then I'll have to say goodbye
Life's too short to watch it fly
To watch it fly

So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind

So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Goldfinger's song Superman describe a person who is overwhelmed and feeling lost in their life. The repeated phrase "Pick it up" suggests that the person needs to keep moving forward and not give up, despite the challenges they face. The chorus, "Pretending I'm a superman," is a metaphor for the person's desire to be strong and capable, like a superhero, but also acknowledges the struggle and confusion they feel. The verses describe the person's internal battle to hold onto their identity and purpose, despite the feeling that the world is falling apart around them. The bridge reflects the person's frustration with others telling them what to do and how to behave, as well as their fear of not being able to change. The song ultimately ends with the person accepting themselves for who they are and trying to do the best they can.

Overall, the lyrics of "Superman" are relatable to anyone who has felt lost, hopeless, or overwhelmed in their life. The song's catchy chorus and upbeat tempo give the impression of resilience and optimism, which is perhaps why it has become a classic in pop-punk and ska music.

Struggling with insomnia and a racing mind, wondering if there is anything more that can be done to alleviate the stress and anxiety.

Controlling everything in sight Feeling weak, I don't feel right You're telling me I have to change Telling me to act my age What if all that I can do Is just sit and watch time go Then I'll have to say goodbye Life's too short to watch it fly To watch it fly

Lyrics:
[Intro]
So here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

[Verse 1]
I'm trying to keep
The ground on my feet
It seems the world is falling down around me
The nights are all long
I'm singing this song
To try and make the answers more than maybe

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm so confused about what to do
Sometimes I wanna throw it all away

[Chorus]
So here I am
Growing older all the time
Looking older all the time
Feeling younger in my mind
And here I am
Doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am
Pretending I'm a superman

[Verse 2]
I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of sheep
My mind is racing faster every minute
What could I do more
Yeah, I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles but I can't quit

[Bridge]
Controlling everything in sight
Feeling weak I don't feel right
You're telling me I have to change
Telling me to act my age
But if all that I can do
Is just sit and watch time go
Then I'll have to say good-bye
Life's too short to watch it fly
So watch it fly

I am in my 60s, and I absolutely love this track. For one thing, it's so exciting, and just about perfect in every way. But mostly, I love it because I know that if I first heard "Superman" at 13, I would have felt as if it were speaking directly to me. When we get old, we should never forget what it's like surviving adolescence. It's probably the hardest thing a person can ever do.

@fernandoluna6410

Someone in the comments said that they loved how this song made men in their 30's nostalgic. I can confirm, and I'd add that when we first heard this song we didn't understand how relatable it would be now, in our mid to late 30's. Now we can finally appreciate for what it really is.

@Frankuraku Sure is my man, and a bunch of freestyle Rodney Mullen type tricks to go along - This whole remake (remaster but i consider it a remake) has all of the best shit from all of the Tony Hawks games crammed into 1 bundle. I suggest the deluxe edition, you get so much more if you haven't got it yet.
