I am
We're Not Superheroes Anymore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is where we start floating away, we're floating away, from here.
He saw life, he saw dreams, he saw everything he needs and this is the way, from home.
I am Hope.
I am Dreams
I am Everything you need
This is the way
And i Prey to god that your safe, that your safe inside my head
Take your heart, take my breath, take your hands up off my chest, now i can fly, i swear i can fly.
Time has come you've got to open up yourself.
Just open, up your self.
Just open up
Yourself
Believe
These lyrics from We're Not Superheroes Anymore's song "I Am" seem to be about a person's struggle to find their place in the world and their sense of identity. The singer seems to be praying to God to keep someone they care about safe inside their head, which could mean they are afraid of losing touch with themselves and their own emotions. The repetition of "floating away" suggests a feeling of disconnection or detachment from reality, as if they are struggling to stay grounded in the present moment.
The next section of the lyrics shifts to a more confident and positive tone, with the singer declaring that they are hope, dreams, and everything someone might need to find their way home. The use of the word "home" suggests a longing for a sense of belonging or purpose. The final section of the lyrics encourages the listener to open themselves up and believe in themselves.
Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of staying true to oneself and believing in one's own abilities, even in the face of uncertainty and doubt.
