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.
Wasting Time
Superheroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im wasting time by
Myself
I can't go out at night so Im trapped in here
Wasting time by
Myself
So Im just wasting time with you and Julia
Just wasting time
Just wasting time with
In my room I take photographs
Pictures of the walls in the dark
And I
Cant stay in here much longer now
Oh boy, I wish a had something to do
So Im just wasting time with you and Julia
Just wasting time with you and
Julia [x5]
The lyrics of Superheroes' song Wasting Time depict the singer's feeling of loneliness and isolation. The first line "I'm a solitary man and that's no fun at all" highlights his desolation despite being alone. He finds himself constantly bored and unoccupied, wasting time alone in his room while being trapped in his own thoughts. The second verse highlights his desperation and restlessness, unable to even take solace in his own hobbies. He takes photographs of his walls in the dark but quickly realizes he cannot stay in his own company any longer. The chorus of the song, "So I'm just wasting time with you and Julia, Just wasting time with you and Julia," depicts his futile attempt to fill the void of his loneliness by involving other people in his life.
One interpretation of this song is that it speaks to the universal experience of loneliness and the lengths that people go to avoid it. The singer is trying to avoid the empty feeling that comes with being alone by finding company in others, even if it ultimately ends up as a waste of time. This song highlights how true connection and fulfillment cannot be found by simply avoiding loneliness, but rather through genuine relationships and meaningful experiences.
