Capital H
Motion City Soundtrack / Schatzi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I'm off to save the world
Silly me I left a message with no return number
For my boys in blue in case of an emergency
In case the shit goes down yea

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I'm off to save the world

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with a capital H
It stands for hero, and the hero is me

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back at a quarter to 11
I'm half drunk and I can't see straight
A hero zero with a capital Z (that's me)
Singing songs from the balcony as the city crumbles
Under the powers of an evil doctor rocket science monster with capabilities to destroy the entire universe, yo

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I'm off to save the world

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with a capital H
It stands for hero, and the hero is me

Yeah
Yeah

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I'm off to save the world

I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'

I'll be back with a capital H
It stands for hero, and the hero is me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Motion City Soundtrack's "Capital H" tell the story of a self-proclaimed hero who is ready to save the world from an evil doctor rocket science monster with capabilities to destroy the universe. The singer is confident in his abilities as he prepares to swing back into action with his Superman action figure. As he leaves a message for the police in case of an emergency, he sings songs from the balcony as the city crumbles.

The chorus emphasizes the hero's return to the ballroom swinging with a capital H, which stands for hero. The singer is proud of his heroism and reassures himself that he will return to save the world. The verses, on the other hand, depict a chaotic city filled with danger and uncertainty, where a hero's presence is much needed. The lyrics may also suggest the singer's addiction to alcohol or drugs, which affect his vision but don't weaken his confidence as a hero.

I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I will be back at a party, socializing and feeling good

I'll be back with my Superman action
I will come prepared with my heroic mindset and tools

And I'm off to save the world

I have been drinking and am not completely sober

A hero zero with a capital Z (that's me)
I may not be perfect, but I am a hero in my own way

Singing songs from the balcony as the city crumbles
Despite chaos around me, I will remain optimistic and hopeful

Under the powers of an evil doctor rocket science monster with capabilities to destroy the entire universe, yo
Facing extreme danger and obstacles that could destroy everything
