The song "Super Hero" by The Daze begins with unintelligible sounds that are meant to establish a repetitive and catchy tune. The first line of the lyric speaks of the desire for a "superhero lover," someone who possesses exceptional characteristics that are either physical or emotional. The term "superhero" is commonly used to describe extremely powerful and courageous characters who save people from all kinds of perils, hence the idea of a lover with such qualities evokes a sense of safety and protection. The repetition of the line various times completes the central theme of the song, representing the need for someone extraordinary.
The following verses alternate between a girl walking on the street and a boy driving late at night, both singing the song's tune. The girl thinks she wants a particular guy she saw, while the young man is wondering if he should say goodbye. The verses serve to convey the idea that everyone is searching for something magical, someone special that can rescue them from a sense of loss, doubt or loneliness. The final lines of the song repeat the chorus with a slightly different tone, indicating that the two have found each other, and they don’t need anyone else. The phrase "I e yeah e oh" has no literal meaning but became popular among the audience as a mark of the song.
