Superman
Vinai Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, can't believe that you called again
I don't even know you've been in my bed
Drown in my head now I'm out of plans
Maybe what you need is a superman

Baby, can't believe that you called again
I don't even know you've been in my bed
Drown in my head now I'm out of plans

Maybe what you need is a superman

Baby, can't believe that you called again
I don't even know you've been in my bed
Drown in my head now I'm out of plans
Maybe what you need is a superman

Le-da-di-da-da-da-di-da-di-da
La-da-di-da-da-da-di-da-di-da
Le-da-di-da-da-da-di-da-di-da
La-da-di-da-da-da-di-da-di-da

You call it love but I don't, you're crazy
Already told that you want a super superman
Why you just keep going on, you hear me
Already told that you want a super superman

Baby, baby, baby, forgive me
Honestly don't know why I'm sad today
Baby, baby, baby, believe me
All you need today is a superman

Baby, can't believe that you called again
I don't even know you've been in my bed
Drown in my head now I'm out of plans
Maybe what you need is a superman

Le-da-di-da-da-da-di-da-di-da
La-da-di-da-da-da-di-da-di-da

Le-da-di-da-da-da-di-da-di-da

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vinai & Paolo Pellegrino's "Superman" are about a person who is struggling with a persistent lover, who keeps calling and showing up uninvited. The singer seems to be tired of this person and their advances but is also feeling a sense of confusion and sadness, as indicated by the lines, "Baby, baby, baby, forgive me/Honestly don't know why I'm sad today."

The chorus of the song suggests that the singer feels overwhelmed and out of control because of the persistent attention from their lover. They suggest, "Maybe what you need is a superman," implying that the only way to deal with their obsessive attention is to have a stronger, more powerful person to protect them, like Superman.

The song seems to be about the difficulty of setting boundaries and dealing with unwanted attention in relationships. It also touches on the feelings of confusion and sadness that can come with being persistently pursued by someone you don't have feelings for or are no longer interested in.
