Unsupervised, I Hit My Head

When ever i hear this song i always think its about growing up... Whenever he talks about his friend joe it seems like he was his "childhood friend" or imaginary friend and when he "hits his head" or grows up all of these things go. The good times with his friends, pretending to be invisible, etc all seemed to stop when he grew up "

I've lost my superpowers I was invisible I could just cut myself Right out my will I was unsupervised I had a real good time Until I . . . I hit my head

Back in the day With my friends 'round me You could count on me with just one hand When I digress You'll find me smiling Could be living underneath the ground

I've lost my superpowers I was invisible I could just cut myself Right out my will I was unsupervised I had a real good time Until I . . . I hit my head"

It sort of says to me... when did this happen... as if i hit my head and all of a sudden im an adult

This is a song by Mono Puff, (a side band of TMBG with the singer John Flansburg).

I could be wrong, but I thought I once heard this song was about a man working in a shop or something of the like. He was unsupervised while working, so when he got distracted, he slipped and hit his head, and cut his right hand off. "Now I'm left-handed" and "You could count on me with just one hand." After that incident, no one wanted to leave him alone in fear something would happen again, "I was invisible" and "I was unsupervised, I had a real good time. Until I…" "Could be living underneath the ground" might be referring to the idea he could be dead.

I don't really remember though… I could be crazy and have just dreamt it all up.
