My Superman Lyrics
Hey Hey Hey (2x)
Well you're a liar and
Your cues are all wrong
but I can't count all the ways you woo me
I watch you capture
What I can't hold
Now make it make some sense to me
You are
You are my (3x)
Superman
Make it fly
Bless your soul
You get by
Take me along
But all the static here it's breaking you a-part
You can't stay the way you , you , you , you
You are
You are my (3x)
Superman
Your cues are all wrong
but I can't count all the ways you woo me
I watch you capture
What I can't hold
Now make it make some sense to me
You are my (3x)
Superman
Bless your soul
You get by
Take me along
But all the static here it's breaking you a-part
You can't stay the way you , you , you , you
You are my (3x)
Superman

I love this song.
The way I interpret the song is its like she is saying, just like superman with 2 identites, she hates him, yet for some unknown reason she cant get over him. Even thought the signs are ther there. She fees as if she is in love with 2 people although its the same person.
"Well you're a liar and Your cues are all wrong but I can't count all the ways you woo me I watch you capture What I can't hold Now make it make some sense to me"
Great song
I totally agree with you! She wants him to stop the bullshit, grow up, get over the bullshit and be the man that I occasionally get a glimpse of...because he is "Superman."

in addition to the above verse the song continues with (loose interpretation of the lyics):
you are, you are my you are, you are my you are, you are my superman...
you got to live...
make it (hard) bless your soul you get by take me alone
but all the static, yeah staring you all, boy so get out of the way you you...
you are, you are my... superman
you you you gave me away so go go go now you know you saved me don't dont put your hands down
you are, you are my... superman
you got to live...
as far as meaning... i sense some serious condescending undertones.
This is an amazing song... Personally, I think it's Santigold's best on her record. It's so strong, yet her lyrics make her seem so weak. To me, it's a about a guy (maybe a past lover?) that she can't get over. He'll always be her Superman, whether she wants him to be or not. He'll always amaze her, even though he's done some terrible things to her. I love the line "You've got to let me get by, Bless your soul, You get by, Take me along". It shows that Superman has moved on from her, but she hasn't moved on. She knows she has to move on/get by, but she still wants to go along with Superman. Very well done, Santi.
