Superpower
Käpt'n K./KMFDM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the one unparalleled Germanizer
Hunted, shunted never ever to stray
I am the man who goes by the name of Käpt'n K
Eyes on the road, one fist on the wheel
All maximum throttle, full pedal to the steel
Pearl for swine, the rock, the gem
Unadulterated, understated, love or hate it - KMFDM
Chaos, mayhem, ultra-heavy beat
Superpower
A force in its own
Superpower
We're going it alone
Superpower
Ascendancy from dust
Superpower
The power you can trust
Superpower
With power to spare
Superpower
Extra-extraordinaire
Superpower
Relax! Enjoy!
Superpower
The lyrics of Käpt'n K./KMFDM's song Superpower are about a man with an unparalleled ability to assimilate and conquer, living in a new millennium that hasn't improved human wisdom. He goes by the name Käpt'n K and is unstoppable, never straying from his path. The song describes him as focused, with eyes on the road and one fist on the wheel, pushing the limits with maximum throttle and full pedal to the steel.
The lyrics also reference KMFDM, the band responsible for the song, as a pearl for swine, the rock, the gem, with an unadulterated, understated sound that people either love or hate. The song describes KMFDM as an anchor for the rancor of the secret elite, causing chaos and mayhem with an ultra-heavy beat.
