Ruxpin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands of time
Well, I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothin' I can do
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all, I knew it had to be somethin'
To do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy
Then will you still call me Superman
If I'm alive and well
Will you be there holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite
You called me strong
You called me weak
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head
If not for me, then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you
Back on solid ground
If I go crazy
Then will you still call me Superman
If I'm alive and well
Will you be there holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite
No na na na na na no no
If I go crazy
Then will you still call me Superman
If I'm alive and well
Will you be there
Holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah
If I go crazy
Then will you still call me Superman
If I'm alive and well
Will you be there holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite
Whoa hoo whoa hoo whoa
Whoa hoo whoa hoo whoa
Whoa hoo whoa hoo whoa
The lyrics to Ruxpin's song "Chasing Dandelions" speaks of the struggles of one's mind and the importance of having someone to rely on during those moments. The first couple of lines describe the singer's need to escape from the troubles that have been weighing him down. His physical state is left behind as he embarks on a mental journey around the world. He observes the world, and his perception of it changes as he realizes the darker side of the moon. He feels helpless, realizing that he cannot control anything that is happening around him. But in all of this, he knows that it is connected to someone and that he needs this person in his life.
The chorus is a plea to that person, asking whether they will still be there for him when he is at his worst moments. The lyrics express a hope that this person can keep him stable when he goes crazy or even just helps him when he stumbles. The singer tells his confidant, who has seen him in both his strong and weak moments, that he will always be there for them, like a superhero with their superhuman strength, or like Kryptonite. The last few lines serve as a confirmation of his hope that the person he is speaking to will be by his side through all of life's rollercoaster moments.

Well, I took a walk around the world
To ease my mind, I went on a journey around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I went on a journey to alleviate my worries
I left my body lying somewhere
During my travels, I felt detached from my physical self and left it behind
In the sands of time
My physical body was abandoned in the passing of time
Well, I watched the world float
I observed the movement of the world
To the dark side of the moon
The world went to a negative or unexplored place
I feel there's nothin' I can do
I feel powerless to change the course of events
After all, I knew it had to be somethin'
Though unsure, I knew that there was a specific reason for the world's movement
To do with you
I suspect that the world's movement is related to you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
Occasional negative events don't bother me
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
Having you as a friend is the most important thing to me
If I go crazy
In the event that I lose my sanity
Then will you still call me Superman
Will you still be there for me and support me, even if I am not mentally stable?
If I'm alive and well
If I remain alive and healthy
Will you be there holdin' my hand
Will you be there to comfort and support me?

my one weakness, or the thing that can hurt me the most
You called me strong
You complimented me on my strength
You called me weak
You also called me out on my weakness
But still your secrets I will keep
Despite our differences, I will still keep your secrets safe
You took for granted all the times
You did not appreciate all the times I was there for you
I never let you down
I always did my best to be there for you and support you
You stumbled in and bumped your head
You made mistakes and got hurt in the process
If not for me, then you'd be dead
If I hadn't been there to help you, the consequences could have been dire
I picked you up and put you
I helped you get back on your feet
Back on solid ground
I helped you regain stability and control
No na na na na na no no
