Superman
Moi Navarro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
14 years ago I was only 15.
Now I'm reminiscing.
Oh cause I, I wanted to fly like superman does and feel tremendous.
On a sweet Sunday morning 14 seconds ago
I was only moments from my 15 minutes of fame.
I broke into a million pieces; each piece a thousand creases.
A memory of my heart now I'm looking at the stars.
Cause I, I want to fly like superman does and feel tremendous.
Cause what goes up must come down
And what's coming down is coming down fast.
I think it fell on my heart
Cause what goes up must come down
And what comes down is coming down fast.
Flew with the stars, flew with the stars.
Cause I, I want to fly like superman does and feel tremendous.
Cause I, I want to fly like superman does and feel tremendous
Broke into a million pieces each piece a thousand creases.
a memory of my heart and now I look at the starts.
Cause i, I want to fly like superman does and feel tremendous.
Cause i, I want to fly like superman does and feel tremendous.
On a sweet Sunday morning.
The lyrics of Moi Navarro's "Superman" depict a nostalgic and yearning sentiment of the desire to be superhuman, to fly and feel tremendous, while acknowledging the impermanence of fame and fortune. The first stanza talks about how the singer was only 15 years old, 14 years ago on a sweet Sunday morning when he wanted to fly like Superman, and now he is reminiscing about that moment. The second stanza talks about how he was only moments away from his 15 minutes of fame, but he broke into a million pieces, and those pieces now form a memory of his heart as he looks at the stars. The chorus emphasizes his desire to fly like Superman and feel tremendous, but he knows that what goes up must come down, and what's coming down is coming down fast.
The song likens the desire to be a superhero to the pursuit of fame and fortune in life. The metaphorical language of "flying like Superman" refers to the notion of transcending the limitations of normal life and achieving something great, while acknowledging the reality of the inevitable fall that comes with it. The words "flew with the stars" in the last line represent the fleeting moments of glory and excellence that one can experience in life, while the memory of these moments remains forever in the singer's heart.
Overall, "Superman" is a powerful song that captures the spirit of human ambition, the beauty of nostalgia, and the reality of the transience of greatness.

Currently we are all going through a difficult time. As of right now i have been seeking comfort in nostalgia and have been on a binge of all the throwbacks. This is just one of them that never left me. An absolute gem.

I remembered this song from seeing Moi play at Hume Lake and I was surprised and delighted to see him on the Song Off. Super talented guy. Really sad they didn't give him the recognition he deserved.
