superhero
Jr. Woodchuck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leaving got my bags packed
I fit my life in boxes
Never knew what home is
We live and die in boxes
Food for dirt in new shoes
Its nice to have and know you
Don't talk just let me hold you
I can be your hero

I heard somebody yell peace
cnd then they shot first
I heard somebody scream war
They said we want more
I heard the good guys lost
cnd all the heroes are gone
I heard the devil is real
I heard the devils a liar
I found my voice in the choir
Im what forged in the fire
Can't sleep up late
Even God get tired
Superheroes get old
Dreams for sale all sold
Don't let your heart turn cold
Out for crimson and gold
cll the statues came down
cin't nothing super bout you now
No ones listening in crowd
Now they booing you get out
You're all ruining the set
We're all living with regret
Try harder this my best
Im just letting you down
I don't wanna wear a crown
I don't wanna wear a cape
We're all moving out of state
Seeking residents in space
This the farewell lap
They won't fare well Jack
The house revoked my rights
Now I can't come back
No we won't be back

Leaving got my bags packed
I fit my life in boxes
Never knew what home is
We live and die in boxes
Food for dirt in new shoes
Its nice to have and know you
Don't talk just let me hold you
I can be your hero

Big blue world
Sits pretty in my rearview
Look so peaceful from the New Gods eye view
So quiet up here kinda wish that I could hear you
Word up here is that everybody fears you
War discrimination and destruction
Is your MO
There's life out here
Ya'll will never get the memo
Rude like why you
Talking over my demo
When the planets finally gone
It'll be the quietest crescendo
I don't wanna wear a crown
I don't wanna wear a cape
We're all moving out of state
Seeking residents in space
This the farewell lap
They won't fare well Jack
The house revoked my rights
Now I can't come back
No we won't be back

Leaving got my bags packed
I fit my life in boxes
Never knew what home is
We live and die in boxes
Food for dirt in new shoes
Its nice to have and know you
Don't talk just let me hold you
I can be your hero

Leaving got my bags packed
I fit my life in boxes
Never knew what home is
We live and die in boxes
Food for dirt in new shoes
Its nice to have and know you




Don't talk just let me hold you
I can be your hero

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Superhero" by Jr. Woodchuck reflect a sense of detachment and longing for a sense of belonging. The opening lines convey a feeling of constant movement and a lack of permanence, as the singer packs their bags and fits their life into boxes. This suggests that they have never truly had a stable home or a sense of rootedness. The reference to living and dying in boxes implies that society often confines individuals within predefined roles or societal expectations.


The following lines touch upon themes of violence and disillusionment. The singer hears conflicting messages about peace and war, and how the heroes of the past seem to have disappeared. This highlights a loss of optimism and the realization that the world is far from ideal. The mention of the devil being real and a liar suggests a loss of faith in traditional sources of morality or guidance.


The lyrics continue to explore the singer's personal journey and self-discovery. They mention finding their voice in the choir, suggesting that they have found solace and purpose in their own unique expression. The reference to superheroes getting old and dreams being sold indicates a disillusionment with the idea of heroism and the loss of youthful aspirations. The singer expresses a desire to maintain their authenticity and not adhere to societal expectations.


In the third paragraph, the lyrics take a more poetic turn as they describe a distant and peaceful view of the world from a higher perspective. However, there is a sense of separation and detachment, as the singer feels unable to connect with the world below. This emphasizes a feeling of isolation and the belief that the world is unaware or indifferent to their existence.


Overall, "Superhero" by Jr. Woodchuck delves into themes of longing, detachment, disillusionment, and the search for a sense of belonging and purpose. The lyrics express a yearning for connection and authenticity in a world that often seems cold and unfeeling. The singer grapples with their own identity and the fading of dreams, all while seeking a place where they can truly feel at home.
