Metropolis Kid
Metropolis Kid: Unleashing Destiny in the Shadows
Lyrics
I'm the Metropolis Kid
I identify as the Metropolis Kid
You already know what it is
It's already familiar or known
The son was blessed with the gift
I inherited special abilities or talents
Can't help but do it so big
I naturally engage in grand endeavors
I live in the shade of the greatest
I live in the shadow of the greatest (possibly a mentor or role model)
To heed the call
Responding to a call or duty
One day my seat will be waiting
Expecting recognition or a significant role
I'll save you all
Expressing a desire to save or help others
But I don't do this for press
Not seeking attention from the media
No girl how dare you suggest
Rejecting a suggestion with disbelief
Then again you have to confess
Suggesting a confession is necessary
You love that S on my chest
Acknowledging admiration for the superhero persona
And you can try to deny that the Kid is so fly
Challenging denial of the Kid's attractiveness
I don't need no x-ray vision to read your mind
Confidently understanding others without special abilities
I'm the Metropolis Kid
Reiteration of being the Metropolis Kid
You already know what it is
Reiteration of familiarity or recognition
The son is blessed with the gift
Reiteration of inherited special abilities
Can't help but do it so big
Reiteration of engaging in grand endeavors
I built a name, a reputation
Establishing a name and reputation
I let the primary colors fade
Allowing essential qualities to diminish
I let my fists end my confrontations
Using physical force to resolve conflicts
And I don't care what you say
Disregarding others' opinions or criticisms
I got buildings to leap
Having significant challenges to overcome
Worlds to break in my sleep
Conquering various challenges effortlessly
No more Smallville lessons
No longer following basic moral principles
No need for keepin the peace
No need for maintaining peace
No no no capes darlin' I
Rejecting traditional superhero symbols (capes)
Shatter the rules and defy
Defying established norms and expectations
I don't need no x-ray vision to read your
Confidently understanding others without special abilities (repeated)
I'm the Metropolis Kid
Reiteration of being the Metropolis Kid (repeated)
Jumpstart my alien heart
Revitalizing a unique or extraordinary aspect of oneself
And put me into the plan
Being part of a larger plan or purpose
Perhaps they filled in the gaps
Uncertainty about the understanding of one's uniqueness
With a helix they don't understand
Possibly referencing a genetic modification (helix) not fully understood
Will I ever get the chance to be my own man?
Questioning the opportunity to establish an independent identity
