Superman
Run To Cadence With The U.S. Army Airobrne Rangers Vol.2 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some of us are reaching for stardust
Some of us are digging for gold
But it won't mean a lot on a mountaintop
When the wind reaches out for your soul

Some of us stand in the spotlight
Waiting for a round of applause
When the people go home you're left all alone
To face the sadness behind closed doors

I don't want the sun don't want you to run
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me

Some of us want silver linings
To be the belle of the ball
Going down in a blaze of glory
The story means nothing at all

I don't want the sun don't want you to run
Don't want superman don't need wonderland
Just want you to love me

I don't want the stars or venus or mars
Don't want superman don't need wonderland




Just want you to love me just want you to love me
Don't want superman don't need wonderland

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Superman" by Run To Cadence With The U.S. Army Airobrne Rangers Vol.2 are about the pursuit of success and fame and the emptiness that can come with it.

The lyrics emphasize the importance of love and genuine connections over superficial achievements.


The song also touches on the theme of loneliness and the fleeting nature of fame. The spotlight and applause may feel good in the moment, but once the show is over and the people have gone home, the reality of being alone and facing one's problems can be daunting. The song's refrain, "Just want you to love me," reinforces the idea that love and human connection are what truly matter in life.
