Super Heroes Lyrics
I've done a lot; God knows I've tried
To find the truth. I've even lied.
But all I know is down inside
I'm bleeding...
And super heroes come to feast
To taste the flesh not yet deceased.
And all I know ... is still the beast
Is feeding...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, aaah, aaah.
And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race...
Lost in time
And lost in space
And meaning.
Meaning.
Am I the only one who likes this song?
i think this song is a message to human kind as a whole: no matter what you do and how hard you try, you will never get what you want. it's kind of an emo message and it has nothing to do with the movie, but that's what the lyrics seem to say.
To the powerful extra terrestrials (super heroes) earth is a feast where they can satisfy their needs (taste the flesh) at the expense of the inferior humans. The humans are aware they're being exploited (the flesh not yet deceased... still the beast is feeding) and wonder about what it all means.
I kinda like this meaning. It's one of my favorite songs in the movies, but I have no freaking idea what I'm supposed to make of it. I kinda thought it was about how Brad and Janet, after this whole ordeal have to try to make sense of their lives. They feel used, and don't know how to mesh the incongruities between their happy and prudish lives before and now after, but I like your meaning, too!

I really like this song a lot. The messages of the lyrics resonate to an individual level. That Brad would sing the first stanza emphazises man's weakness. And he is admitting to it. "I've done a lot"...is as human being an admission of things he'd done and for which he regrets most, thus the reason of him searching for the truth that would justify some of the things he'd done. And sometimes. too, to justify his actions, he lied to himself.
It is hard to explain this song, 'cause you know Richard O'Brien has interesting views on life and society, but the meaning of the all movie (although it seems really shallow) , and also this song should be the fact humans always want, try and sometimes think they are big and great. And actually they are tiny besides the sun and the Earth won't change the direction whatever happens.

i like this song too. this song is only release in certain verisons
my bf said that the melody came from pink floyd
No, you're not the only one who likes this song. In some ways it's the best in the whole movie (though RHPS has some of the best songs EVER in it!)
The human race isn't the only thing lost in meaning, I have no idea what the hell it means exactly. I have the jist of it I believe though...
You don't follow?
It's an anagram!
