Superhuman
Løv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
My love, This is a superhuman life I guess
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
You're chasing mirrors, your eyes can't get enough
They're working hard to drag you down
You're cutting corners, you won't take the long way round
You're on your own
When you wake up in the morning
You got no one
When you're crawling back to bed
You're down and out
My love, This is a superhuman life I guess
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
My love, This is a superhuman life I guess
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
Change the angle, look a million dollars now
You're making sure you're in the frame
A truth is made up by a god that's in your mind
connections trigger, now your life is on the line
You're on your own
When you wake up in the morning
You got no one
When you're crawling back to bed
You're down and out
My love, This is a superhuman life I guess
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
My love, This is a superhuman life I guess
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
Don't you wanna let go
Don't you wanna quit
Don't you wanna let go
Don't you wanna quit
Get far away
Far away
From superhuman life
Don't you wanna let go
Don't you wanna quit
Don't you wanna let go
Don't you wanna quit
Get far away
Far away
From superhuman life
My love, This is a superhuman life I guess
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
My love, This is a superhuman life I guess
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
My love, This is a superhuman life I guess
My love, you're just a superhuman like the rest
The song "Superhuman" by Løv explores the idea of the pressures of living up to societal expectations and trying to appear perfect. The chorus repeats the phrase "This is a superhuman life I guess, my love, you're just a superhuman like the rest," highlighting how everyone struggles with these pressures. The first verse focuses on the lengths people go to try and prove themselves, such as chasing mirrors and cutting corners to try and stand out. The second verse talks about the idea of presenting a perfect image to the world and how connections on social media can make or break someone's image. The bridge urges listeners to let go of this pressure and to get far away from the "superhuman life."
The song's melancholic tone and repetitive lyrics create a feeling of hopelessness, suggesting that these societal pressures are pervasive and difficult to escape. The use of the phrase "superhuman" is ironic, as it suggests that people feel they need to be perfect to be accepted by society. The repetition of "my love" throughout the song could be a way of addressing the listener directly and showing empathy.

For en fantastisk versjon av låten. Stemmen til Martin er blitt et vakkert instrument som berører og overfører følelser. Dere har laget et supert arr som er like spennend som "orginalen". Her fortjenes det mange likes. Dere kan absolutt komme til Bergen Viseforum en tur :-)
