Superhero
Unshaken Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Put your glasses on
Blend into the crowd
Cause you know your different
And your scared to make a sound
Will they take you in
You're an alien
But its for a greater cause
Then they can understand

The world needs a superhero
Will you let your gift hide for the sake of your pride
Will you live your life and amount to zero
The world needs a superhero
Will you take to the sky in the blink of an eye
Will you give your life superhero

Now you must decide
What life you will live
Are you making history or will you be a myth
Time is running out
Will you face the truth
I can see it in your eyes so go find your phone booth

The world needs a superhero
Will you let your gift hide for the sake of your pride
Will you live your life and amount to zero
The world needs a superhero
Will you take to the sky in the blink of an eye
Will you give your life superhero

Will you save the day
Will you save the day
The world is calling out
Will you pretend its all okay
Will you save the day
Will you save the day
Show them what your made of
They are waiting
Fly away

The world needs a superhero
Will you let your gift hide for the sake of your pride
Will you live your life and amount to zero
The world needs a superhero

Will you take to the sky in the blink of an eye
Will you give your life superhero

Overall Meaning

"Superhero" is a song that explores the idea of embracing one's differences and unique gifts as a means of becoming a superhero- a champion that the world needs. The opening lines of the song, "Put your glasses on, blend into the crowd, cause you know your different, and your scared to make a sound" evoke an image of someone who feels like an outcast or misfit in the world. The lyrics then pose the question of whether the individual will let their gift hide out of pride or social anxiety, or whether they will embrace their uniqueness and rise to the challenge of being a hero the world needs.

The central theme of the song is about overcoming fear and self-doubt in order to make a difference in the world, much like a superhero. The song acknowledges that taking on this role is not without sacrifice or risk, as the lyrics ask "Will you give your life superhero?" but ultimately it is a call to action to take a brave step towards making a positive impact in the world.

Overall, "Superhero" offers an uplifting and inspiring message about the importance of embracing our unique gifts and taking action to make a difference in the world.
