Supergirl
Kate Miller-Heidke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She goes her own way
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's doing alright
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She goes her own way
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's doing alright
You're doing it your own way
Walking with your own sway
Smiling into a cloudy day
And I want you to know
How you helped me to grow
I just wanted to say
Marieke, marieke, marieke
You're okay
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She buys sex toys
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's a bit of alright
Hands in the air for supergirl .
She like the Beastie Boys
Hands in the air for supergirl.
She's a bit of alright
You're doing it your own way
Walking with your own sway
Smiling into a cloudy day
And I want you to know
How you helped me to grow
I just wanted to say
Marieke, marieke, marieke
You're okay
She's fiercely independent and she doesn't need cosmopolitan
To tell her where she fits in
Throw her off the deep end and she'll only swim again
She's never reach her wits' end
She's a true believer it's not Jessica
But Lisa when it comes to choosing Simpson's
Smart as Sgt. Pepper
Gets by with a little help, gets by with a little help from her friends
Ay, Marieke Marieke Marieke
You're okay
The song Supergirl by Kate Miller-Heidke is an empowering anthem about independent women embracing themselves and their own unique ways of living. The repeated chant "Hands in the air for supergirl" highlights the message of being confident and proud of one's self, and not relying on others for validation.
The lyrics describe a woman who lives life on her own terms, a "supergirl" who is not afraid to be herself despite societal pressures. The verse about sex toys challenges the idea of taboo and shame surrounding sexuality, showing that a woman should embrace her sexuality and not be ashamed. The verse about liking the Beastie Boys represents being unapologetic about one's taste in music and personal interests. The overall message of the song is that it's okay to be true to oneself, and that strong and independent women should be celebrated.
