Superman
The U.S. Navy Seals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But they'll realize
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky
'Cause it's gettin' heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be.
Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
The U.S. Navy Seals' song "Superman" is a powerful and introspective piece that reflects on the idea of strength and the burden of responsibility. The opening lines of the song, "asked you a question, I didn't need you to reply, is it getting heavy?" suggest that the singer is addressing someone who may be feeling the weight of their responsibilities. The repetition of the phrase "is it getting heavy" throughout the song emphasizes this feeling of being overwhelmed.
The next lines of the song introduce the imagery of a fly being crushed by a crane, raising the question of the appropriate use of strength. The singer then suggests that it may be a good time for Superman to lift the sun into the sky, emphasizing the idea that sometimes we need extraordinary strength to face the challenges of our lives.
The chorus of the song, "tell everybody waiting for Superman, they should try to hold on best they can," reassures the listener that they are not alone and that they should do their best to endure. The final lines of the song, "he hasn't dropped them, forgot them, or anything, it's just too heavy for Superman to lift," acknowledge that even the strongest among us have their limits.
Overall, the song "Superman" encourages us to reflect on the idea of strength and how we use it in our lives. It serves as a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles and that sometimes even the most powerful among us have their limits.
