Superhero
Groenland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beautiful things in the hope they help
I turn my good side to the sun
Its healing vibes, they burn inside out
I’m not quite ready yet since I remember and still forget
One year of slightly losing track
I wasted much I cannot get back
As frail as life between the trees
I cannot think of a greater pain
If it had to be felt in one day
No witness standing to tell the story
I look at myself from outside my body
Out in the open my wound’s still hot
From when I remembered and then forgot
I cannot think of a greater pain
If it had to be felt in one day
No witness standing to tell the story
I look at myself from outside my body
Out in the open my wound’s still hot
That’s what you get when you’re trying too hard
I look at myself from outside my body
Out in the open my wound’s still hot
From when I remembered and then forgot
The lyrics of Groenland's song Superhero explore themes of vulnerability, pain, and the search for healing. The first verse talks about the singer's need to be surrounded by beautiful things to lift their spirits, and the healing properties of the sun's rays. However, despite their efforts, the singer is still grappling with the pain of the past year, where they have lost track and wasted time they cannot get back. This pain is compared to the frailty of life between trees, as though it is a delicate balance that can be easily disrupted.
The second verse describes the intense pain that the singer feels, and how it is a pain that cannot be fully comprehended unless experienced. There is no witness to their suffering, and so they are left to look at themselves from the perspective of an outsider. This disassociation is further emphasized when the singer says that their wound is still "hot" even though time has passed since the event that caused it. The chorus repeats this idea of looking at oneself from the outside, implying a sense of detachment and disconnection.

The pressure of trying to heal is causing me more harm than good
From when I remembered and then forgot
The memories I tried to forget have resurfaced again, causing me emotional pain
