Formed… Read Full Bio ↴Superheroes were a Danish band playing synth-based indie pop.
Formed in Skive, Denmark in 1996 by Thomas Troelsen and Asger Tarpgaard, the band consisted of Thomas Troelsen (vocals and synthesizers), Thomas Christensen (drums), Tanja Simonsen (keyboard and backing vocals), Lars Hovendahl (bass), Bjarke Staun (guitar and synthesizers) and Asger Tarpgaard (guitar). They officially split up in October 2006.
In 1997 they released a demo known as "The Blue One". There are only 500 copies of this demo and it is therefore very rare. In 1998 they released their debut album called Dancing Casanova, followed up by Igloo in 2000 and Superheroes in 2002.
Someone Else
Superheroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of the tears I cried today
But all I need is for her to stay
Though I know that all her intentions might be good
But if I catch her with another man
I wouldn't stand the pain
I know she wants someone else (Aaah ah)
And she can see in my eyes I've been crying (Aaah ah)
Look into my eyes and see that I'm dying
'Cause I know she wants someone else
Aaah ooh
Dah dah dah
Dah dah dah
I wonder if she's running through the days
Or if she is on a date
Oh no
'Cause there's no message for me
But if I catch her with another man
I wouldn't stand the pain
I know she wants someone else (Aaah ah)
I can tell it by the way she holds me
I know she wants someone else (Aaah ah)
I can tell it by the way she holds me
And she can see in my eyes I've been crying (Aaah ah)
Look into my eyes and see that I'm dying
'Cause I know she wants someone else
The lyrics to Superheroes' song "Someone Else" depict the pain and heartbreak of being in love with someone who wants someone else. The singer's face has been washed away by the tears they have cried because they want that special someone to stay, despite knowing that their intentions may be good. However, the fear of catching their love interest with another man or seeing the way they hold them signals that they want someone else. The singer is dying inside because they know their love is unrequited and their partner has their eyes set on someone else.
The chorus with the lines "I can tell it by the way she holds me" and "Look into my eyes and see that I’m dying" portrays the singer's anguish over the situation. They are desperately trying to hold onto something that isn't there, causing them immense emotional pain. The lyrics express a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness as the singer realizes that their love interest may never feel the same way.

My face been washed away
I've cried so much that my face feels numb
Of the tears I cried today
I've been crying a lot today
But all I need is for her to stay
I need her to stay with me to feel better
Though I know that all her intentions might be good
I understand that she means well
But if I catch her with another man
If I see her with another man
I wouldn't stand the pain
It would be too painful to bear
I know she wants someone else (Aaah ah)
I'm aware that she wants someone else
I can tell it by the way she holds me
I can sense it in the way she touches me
And she can see in my eyes I've been crying (Aaah ah)
She can see that I've been upset in my eyes
Look into my eyes and see that I'm dying
If you look into my eyes, you can see how much I'm hurting
'Cause I know she wants someone else
Because I'm certain that she desires someone else
I wonder if she's running through the days
I wonder if she's preoccupied with something else
Or if she is on a date
Maybe she's out with someone else
Oh no
This is distressing
'Cause there's no message for me
She hasn't tried to contact me

Bliver aldrig træt af denne sang. Den går aldrig i glemmebogen😘
@Johke
Det er muligvis det bedste danske popnummer nogensinde. Det er så forbandet velskrevet, og Thomas Troelsen har desværre aldrig nået samme højder.

@bernoulli01
Hvor stort et hit ville det ikke have været, hvis sangen var udkommet i 2010-11? Den ville gå rent hjem hos pitchforksegmentet. Kan ikke lade være med at tænke, at det er en skam Troelsens kærlighed tilsyneladende ikke ligger hos den slags musik længere.
@emiliie6

@AnandaSh4k3
