Lyrics

Asked you a question

Asking a question without expecting an immediate response

I didn't need you to reply

Indifference towards the reply, possibly rhetorical

Is it gettin' heavy?

Questioning if the situation is becoming burdensome

But they'll realize

Realization that something is becoming burdensome

Is it gettin' heavy?

Reiteration of the query regarding the increasing weight or burden

Well, I thought it was already as heavy

Expressing that the perceived heaviness was already at its maximum

As can be

Emphasizing the belief that the situation is as heavy as possible


Is it overwhelming

Questioning if the pressure is overwhelming, using an analogy of overkill

To use a crane to crush a fly?

Metaphorical comparison of using excessive force for a small problem

It's a good time for Superman

Suggesting it's an opportune moment for a heroic figure (Superman) to act

To lift the sun into the sky

Imagery of Superman lifting the sun, indicating immense strength and necessity for help


'Cause it's gettin' heavy

Reiterating the theme of increasing heaviness or burden

Well, I thought it was already as heavy

Reasserting the belief that the situation is already at its maximum weight

As can be

Reaffirming the belief that the situation is as heavy as possible


Tell everybody

Instructing to inform everyone waiting for Superman

Waitin' for Superman

Reference to people anticipating Superman's intervention

That they should try to

Suggesting they should hold on as best as they can

Hold on

Encouragement to endure the situation

Best they can

Advising to make the best effort to cope

He hasn't dropped them

Asserting that Superman hasn't abandoned or neglected them

Forgot them

Clarification that Superman hasn't overlooked their plight

Or anything

Confirmation that Superman hasn't done anything to harm them

It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

Explanation that the situation is too overwhelming even for Superman


Is it gettin' heavy?

Reiteration of the question regarding the increasing burden

Well, I thought it was already as heavy as can be

Reaffirmation that the situation is perceived as already at its heaviest


Tell everybody

Instructing to inform everyone waiting for Superman

Waitin' for Superman

Reference to people anticipating Superman's intervention

That they should try to

Suggesting they should hold on as best as they can

Hold on

Encouragement to endure the situation

Best they can

Advising to make the best effort to cope

He hasn't dropped them

Asserting that Superman hasn't abandoned or neglected them

Forgot them

Clarification that Superman hasn't overlooked their plight

Or anything

Confirmation that Superman hasn't done anything to harm them

It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

Explanation that the situation is too overwhelming even for Superman
