Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turned on the news
Earth was falling down they said
Oh so I went to my wardrobe to pull out my cape
Flew out of my window to your garden gate
Knocked on the door you wouldn't let me in
I was screaming out your name but you weren't listening
It's crumblin around right here right now
so grab me by the hand and we can fly into space
We're the only one's left in the human race
Oh no
I'll be your superman
We'll fly above the land
Like nobody else can
I'll be your superman
I know maybe we haven't seen eye to eye
No no no no cause your head
Oh it's turnin into Kryptonite
Oh so just grab me by the hand and it will be ok
Listen to my voice and I will see you're safe
The skys are turning red but I won't let you die
Cause you mean too much to me your the love of my life
But There's five minutes left 'til the world burns down
It's crumblin around right here right now
so grab me by the hand and we can fly into space
We're the only one's left in the human race
Oh no
I'll be your superman
We'll fly above the land
Like nobody else can
I'll be your superman
Get out of the house before it burns to the ground
I, need you in my life i can't survive without
We can go sightseeing to the stars and the moon
But the best side of them all is when I'm looking at you
But There's five minutes left 'til the world burns down
It's crumblin around right here right now
so grab me by the hand and we can fly into space
We're the only one's left in the human race
Oh no
I'll be your superman
We'll fly above the land
Like nobody else can
I'll be your superman
No No No No your superman
No No No Like no-one else can
I'll be your superman.
The song "Superman" by Jordan Sheath begins with the singer waking up and turning on the news to hear that the world is falling down. He decides to dress up in his "superman" outfit and fly to his loved one's home, but she refuses to let him in. Despite their past disagreements, the singer begs her to take his hand and fly away with him before the world burns down. He promises to be her "superman" and protect her.
The lyrics speak to the idea of feeling helpless in a world that is falling apart, but finding strength and hope in the love for another person. The use of the superhero metaphor emphasizes the idea of being a protector for someone you care about. The line "your head, it's turning into Kryptonite" suggests that sometimes the people we love can also be our downfall, just as Kryptonite is Superman's weakness.
Overall, the song conveys a message of holding onto love and relying on each other in times of crisis. It's a hopeful message amidst the chaos of a crumbling world.
