Superhero
Embracing Light: Matt Morreale's Superhero Rescues from Darkness
Lyrics
I get stuck
I feel trapped or unable to move forward.
In my mind
I'm stuck in my thoughts and emotions.
Find darkness even in broad daylight
I perceive darkness even in the brightness of the day.
But then you
Someone, presumably the superhero, enters the picture.
Saved my life
The superhero has a positive impact and saves the speaker.
Your heart it shines oh so bright and
The superhero's heart is described as radiant.
I can’t remember
Reflecting on life before the superhero's influence.
Life without you
Life without the superhero is hard to recall.
But I don’t want to
The speaker doesn't want to forget life with the superhero.
‘Cause
Transition to expressing the superhero's importance.
When I need somebody who can save me from myself
Desire for someone who can rescue the speaker from inner struggles.
You’re my superhero
Declaration that the superhero is the one who saves.
When I’m falling you catch me before I hit the ground
The superhero prevents the speaker from hitting rock bottom.
You’re my superhero
Reiteration of the superhero's role in saving the speaker.
I don’t know I don’t know what I would do what I would do yeah
Expressing uncertainty about life without the superhero.
I don’t know what I would do if you weren’t my superhero
The speaker is unsure how they would cope without the superhero.
I don’t know I don’t know what I would do what I would do yeah
Reiterating the uncertainty without the superhero.
I don’t know what I would do if you weren’t my superhero
Continued uncertainty without the superhero.
When I get knocked back down
Facing challenges, but the superhero is there for support.
You pick me up right off the ground
The superhero lifts the speaker up when they fall.
My heart feels safe and sound
The speaker feels secure and comforted with the superhero.
Whenever you are around
The presence of the superhero brings emotional security.
Oh
An expression of emotion, possibly joy or relief.
And I can’t remember
Recalling life without the superhero.
Life without you
Life without the superhero is difficult to remember.
But I don’t want to
Not wanting to forget the positive impact of the superhero.
When I need somebody who can save me from myself
Desire for someone to save the speaker from themselves.
You’re my superhero
Reaffirmation that the superhero fulfills this role.
When I’m falling you catch me before I hit the ground
The superhero prevents the speaker from falling.
You’re my superhero
Reiteration of the superhero's role in saving the speaker.
I don’t know I don’t know what I would do what I would do yeah
Uncertainty about how the speaker would cope without the superhero.
I don’t know what I would do if you weren’t my superhero
Expressing a lack of knowledge regarding life without the superhero.
I don’t know I don’t know what I would do what I would do yeah
Reiterating the uncertainty without the superhero.
I don’t know what I would do if you weren’t my superhero
Continued uncertainty without the superhero.
And when you need somebody who can save you from yourself
Shifting perspective to when the superhero needs saving.
I’ll be your superhero
The speaker offers to be the superhero for their savior.
When you are falling I’ll catch you before you hit the ground
Commitment to catching the superhero when they fall.
I’ll be your superhero
Reiteration of the speaker's commitment to being a superhero for their savior.
