Stereo Fu… Read Full Bio ↴Stereo Fuse is a post-grunge band from Dallas, Texas, USA.
Stereo Fuse was formed in 2000 after guitarist Jeff Quay and drummer Chad Jenkins were forced to disband their previous group. The two left their former lead singer after a show in Atlanta in 2000, when the anonymous frontman told a particularly offensive joke and the band was asked to leave the stage.
Discovering singer-songwriter in Dallas, the musicians formed Stereo Fuse and began writing and recording songs. In 2002, their cover of Material Issue's "Everything" became a most-requested song in the South and Midwest, and went on to become a top-10 music video.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to be just like superman
I want to fly so high up in the sky
Be immortal never gonna die
I want to be a super hero
I want to fly so high
I want to be a super hero
Oh why can't understand
with my mask I'll be like Batman
With my powers I could save the world
Drive the car and always get the girl
I want to be a super hero
I want to fly so high
I want to be a super hero
And forever i'm never gonna gonna die
I'll be a super hero
Not just a loser zero
I'll be a super hero
Oh why can't you understand
I don't want to be just a mortal man
I want to fly so high up in the star
Use my X-ray vision counting cards
I want to be a super hero
I want to fly so high
I want to be a super hero
And forever i'm never gonna gonna die
