Scanner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Course: Straight ahead
There's nothing that can stop me now
Born again that's how I feel I'm on the run
I ride the wind, the height of the storm
I defy always changing form

Don't worry, stay cool
There ain't a rule

Rubberman
Body an soul
Rubberman
Play a role
Rubberman
Set the spirit free
Rubberman
You and me
We are a perfect team

I'm one of those
Who can be down but stuck out
Be what you are
No matter what they say but: BE IT !

Don't worry, stay cool
There ain't a rule

Rubberman
Body an soul
Rubberman
Play a role
Rubberman
Set the spirit free
Rubberman
You and me
We are a perfect team

Course: Straight ahead
There's nothing that can stop me now
Born again that's how I feel I'm on the run
I ride the wind, the height of the storm
I defy always changing form

Don't worry, stay cool
There ain't rule

Rubberman
Body an soul
Rubberman
Play a role
Rubberman
Set the spirit free
Rubberman




You and me
We are a perfect team

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Scanner's Rubberman are about feeling invincible and embracing one's uniqueness. The opening lines suggest a feeling of unstoppable momentum, as the singer declares that nothing can stop them now. The next lines refer to being "born again," which could be interpreted as a spiritual or emotional awakening that has led to this newfound sense of confidence. The singer describes themselves as riding the wind and defying convention by always changing form, which likely symbolizes their ability to adapt and overcome obstacles.


The chorus reinforces this sense of self-assurance with the repetition of the word "Rubberman." This could refer to the singer's ability to bend and flex like rubber, either physically or metaphorically. The use of the phrase "body and soul" suggests a deep connection to oneself, and the idea of playing a role implies that the singer is not afraid to express themselves in whatever way they see fit. The following lines about setting the spirit free and being a perfect team with someone else suggest that this confidence is not just internal, but can be shared and amplified in relationships.


The overall message of the song seems to be about embracing individuality and not conforming to societal expectations. The lines "Be what you are/No matter what they say but: BE IT!" encourage listeners to stay true to themselves, regardless of outside pressures. The repetition of "Don't worry, stay cool/There ain't a rule" reinforces this idea of breaking free from constraints and embracing one's unique path.
