So You Want to be a Superhero? Lyrics
There's banging on the wall
It's 5am, I've got no sleep at all
Just thoughts of how I might struggle through tomorrow
Too much time in one day
Too much time to occupy
Boring thoughts
And boring moods
And boring bedtimes
Won't tell a single soul that my soul's gone
It's hard to write this song
It's all a joke
It's all been wrote down by someone who's probably dead
I might be leaving soon
I might be leaving soon
There's laughter from below
It's 1am, how could you have known?
The thoughts of silence that had me
From going back to sleep that night
Wish I could call someone I love
To stop thinking of myself
Long look in the mirror
Just looks back so blankly
You were right: I can't do this
I'm going crazy, it's gone by me and you can't see
How much I think I'm empty
I might be leaving soon
I might be leaving soon
I might be leaving soon
My dreams are full of what's not real
I'll fly away and save the world
I'll make you proud someday
I just won't be around to see your face
My life is full of what's not here
I'll go away and save myself
I'll make you proud someday
I just won't be around to see your face
It's 5am, I've got no sleep at all
Just thoughts of how I might struggle through tomorrow
Too much time in one day
Too much time to occupy
Boring thoughts
And boring moods
And boring bedtimes
Won't tell a single soul that my soul's gone
It's hard to write this song
It's all a joke
It's all been wrote down by someone who's probably dead
I might be leaving soon
It's 1am, how could you have known?
The thoughts of silence that had me
From going back to sleep that night
Wish I could call someone I love
To stop thinking of myself
Long look in the mirror
Just looks back so blankly
You were right: I can't do this
I'm going crazy, it's gone by me and you can't see
How much I think I'm empty
I might be leaving soon
I might be leaving soon
I'll fly away and save the world
I'll make you proud someday
I just won't be around to see your face
I'll go away and save myself
I'll make you proud someday
I just won't be around to see your face

I haven't heard a sadder song for a long time :'(
This is me.
This is truely a depressing song. What makes it more depressing for me is that it seems to be written about my life almost word for word. I can't stop listening to this song.
It's about a relationship that Jenn had w/ a girl Tasha in Grand Rapids, MI. She was a crazy girl and Jenn was wrapped up with her...then it turned out that Tasha was just in it for the "Wow Factor" and not genuinely into Jenn. We dragged Tasha's ass all the way to Tucson from Michigan, only to deal w/ major DRAMA and put her back on a bus soon thereafter.
Wait... holy shit, forgive me for asking, but, are you Heather Rhodes?

either way, i'm not sure why she (or anyone) would go around telling people what songs are about, and what actually occurred. it's a little strange to advertise what went on in other people's private lives. also, some people like to listen to music and let it have it's own person meaning.

I cried listening to this song. so depressing. On an interview, they said part of it is about loving someone and having to hate yourself for that.
The female vocalist always sounds so sad. Her lyrics seem consistently more melancholy too. I worry about her.
Jenn Ghetto I now know. I was a rookie.
One of my top CW songs.
I think it's about what goes on when a depressive tries to fall asleep at night. The first part is about just lying in bed, not having any motivation to go to sleep because tomorrow will just suck as much as today. The second verse is about the desperation of loneliness and wanting to give up trying to lead a normal life.
And finally the last is dreaming/fantasizing about being someone better, someone people can look up to and that you yourself can aspire to... even though it's just a dream.
(the 'I might be leaving soon' repetition is blatantly thoughts of suicide and/or one's consciousness giving 'way to sleep)
I agree with your description, Ves1011
Her voice sounds so sad, especially at certain points when her voice breaks down. Ahh this song is addictive.
this is so sad, at first i didn't like CW because it was too dramatic and sad for me but i've learned to love them, too bad their broken up when i become a fan haha. the guy should quit grand archives and start up CW again i have faith
in my opinion, jenn's latest solo album is some of the best stuff out of all of it. it's better than her former solo releases, and really intense. the best part of carissa's wierd amplified. it's like she tapped into something.
