Somebody's Watching Me
Superheroes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lot of things has changed throughout the years
Cos now I'm sleepless in
The night time, and that's the right time
And I remember the old days where
People used to ignore me
And there's no reason why you think I'm beautyful
Cos I'm not
Beautyful

I feel someones watching me
I feel so alone each day
Now I'm sleepless in the night time
And there's no reason why you think I'm beautyful
Cos I'm not

Beautyful
I feel somebodys watching me

Line by Line Meaning

A lot of things has changed throughout the years
My life has gone through many changes over time

Cos now I'm sleepless in
Because of recent events, I have trouble sleeping

The night time, and that's the right time
I am most active at night due to my current situation

And I remember the old days where
I recall a time when my life was different

People used to ignore me
In the past, I was largely unseen and overlooked

And there's no reason why you think I'm beautyful
There's nothing noteworthy or admirable about my physical appearance

Cos I'm not
I do not possess any striking physical features

Beautyful
Attractive or beautiful

I feel someones watching me
I have a strong sensation or intuition that I am being watched by another person

I feel so alone each day
Despite being surrounded by people, I feel very isolated

Now I'm sleepless in the night time
My current situation is causing me to lose sleep at night
