Superpitcher made his first appearance on Kompakt's Total 2 compilation album in 2000 with the song "Shadows". In 2001, he contributed a track to Kompakt's first Speicher 12" and released Heroin, a three-track 12" with three different sounds; "Tomorrow" was later included on that year's Total 3. On 2002's Total 4 there was another track by Schaufler, an electro-pop cover of Brian Eno's "Baby's on Fire". Soon after that, Schaufler released his second 12", Yesterday, which featured re-workings of the songs "Tomorrow" and "Heroin". He also made another appearance that year on Kompakt's fourth Speicher 12".
Since stepping out, Schaufler has done steady remixing work for the likes of Dntel, Carsten Jost and several others. In early 2004, Superpitcher released his debut album Here Comes Love. A year later, he released a mix album for Kompakt called Today.
Superpitcher and Michael Mayer have collaborated under the pseudonym Supermayer. Their debut album, Save The World, was released in 2007.
Schaufler's latest album as Superpitcher, Kilimanjaro, was released in 2010.
Baby's on Fire
Superpitcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
The lyrics of "Baby's on Fire" by Superpitcher are quite ambiguous, but they depict a scene where a woman is in great danger, and the decision of the singer is to throw her into the water. However, amidst the danger, the woman is laughing, which makes the situation even more confusing. The phrase "Like a heifer to slaughter" suggests the woman is walking to her death as if blissfully unaware, like a cow heading for the slaughterhouse. The phrase "Baby's on fire" could mean the woman attracts attention wherever she goes, or that she's going through a particularly intense moment.
The lyrics could be taken to mean various things depending on the interpretation. One possible explanation is that the woman is symbolic of desire or temptation, and the water is symbolic of purification or redemption. The laughter could be an acknowledgment of her evil ways, while the phrase "throw her in the water" suggests a baptism where she will emerge clean and new. The song title itself could represent the idea of moral decay or passion.
Line by Line Meaning
Baby's on fire
The subject of this song is in a passionate and intense state of being, perhaps both physically and emotionally.
Better throw her in the water
The situation is so intense and out of control that drastic measures may need to be taken to prevent harm.
Look at her laughing
Despite being in a potentially dangerous situation, the subject is seemingly enjoying and reveling in the chaos.
Like a heifer to the slaughter
The subject's lack of awareness or control over their situation is akin to that of an animal being led to its death, adding to the sense of danger and unpredictability.
