The Script Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the meaner side of me
They took away the prophet's dream
For a profit on the street
Now she's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
He'll be nothing when he's old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won't ever let it show
'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you've fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You see fire in their eyes
'Cause he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you've fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power, power)
(Power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power)
(Power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour turn the pain into power
She's got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul
He's a got a beast in his belly that's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits, taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch 'em explode
She's got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul
He's a got a beast in his belly that's so hard to control
'Cause they've taken too much hits, taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch 'em explode
(Explode, explode, explode, explode)
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you've fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power, power)
Oh, yes (power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power) ooh, yeah
Whoa (power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
The Script's song Superheroes, showcases the struggles of everyday people who rise up and become heroes in their own right despite the difficult life they've faced. The song begins by highlighting the harsh realities of life faced by a girl who has seen the meaner side of her partner, as well as the prophet's dream being taken away for someone's personal gain. The lyrics suggest that the girl has been through a lot but has risen up through her struggles and is now stronger than ever. The second half of the song describes a guy who has been told all his life that he would be nothing when he's old, but despite all the kicks and blows, he has still stood tall and strong.
The song's chorus emphasizes the message of the song, where a superhero is someone who learns to fly by turning their pain into power, and spends every day and hour fighting for what they believe in. The strength of the person's heart is highlighted in the lyrics "She's got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul; he's got a beast in his belly that's so hard to control". The lyrics suggest that despite being beaten down, these superheroes continue to move forward, and they explode when given the chance.
Overall, the song serves as an inspiration for people who may be facing difficult times, that they can turn their pain into their greatest strength and become heroes in their own right.
