K.M.F.D.M_ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To meet your final fate
Superhero lost his cape
Why do you bother even trying at all
Signed superhero
And there at night where I lay
A nightmare speaks what I wont to say
And the shadows on the wall
And they are dancing down the hall
It’s all in my mind
Every night after night I could die
Open eyed I’m surprised that I’m still alive
Run
Before you can escape superhero lost your cape
I saw you fall
But couldn’t help you at all
Signed superhero
And there at night where I lay
A nightmare speaks what I want to say
And the shadows on the wall
They come alive
And they are dancing down the hall
It’s all in my mind
Every night after night I could die
Open eyed I’m surprised that I’m still alive
Come
To meet your final fate
Superhero lost his cape
Why do you bother even trying at all
Signed superhero
And there at night where I lay
A nightmare speaks what I wont to say
And the shadows on the wall
They come alive
And they are dancing down the hall
It’s all in my mind
Every night after night I could die
Open eyed I’m surprised that I’m still alive
The lyrics to K.M.F.D.M_'s "Superhero" tell the story of a superhero who has lost his cape and slowly realizes that he is not invincible. The song's repeated line "Superhero lost his cape" highlights the vulnerability of the singer and his gradual loss of power. He questions why he even bothers trying at all, a common theme in the struggle of heroes who find themselves unable to make a real impact. The last stanza pleads with the listener to "come to meet your final fate," as if urging them to face their own mortality in the same way the superhero has done. The line "And there at night where I lay, a nightmare speaks what I want to say" suggests that the superhero's subconscious is speaking to him, possibly as a way of confronting his own fears.
The song touches upon the idea of human frailty and the realities of life, even for those who possess seemingly supernatural abilities. The disillusionment of the superhero emphasizes the universal experience of feeling powerless in the face of difficult circumstances. The shadowy figures in the lyrics also showcase the surreal and otherworldly elements of the superhero genre, playing with the balance between fear and fantasy.
