"I wish I were a superhero like the x-men in the comics
'cause maybe then I could've withstood the blast
oh, but I shattered like an ordinary sheet of glass
and there's not enough superglue in the world,"
these are some of the most powerful lines i've ever heard in a song. that's exactly how i've been feeling lately.
as for the meaning of the song, it's about being broken up over a huge event that happened in her past[family-related], and she still can't get over it...she wonders how long it will be until she'll be healed from the whole ordeal.
as for what it means to me, when someone hurts you deeply[shattering you like a sheet of glass], you really start to wonder if you'll ever be able to piece yourself back together again completely. you find yourself reliving it over and over again, and you really just wish you didn't care or were "strong enough to withstand the blast" in the first place...but we're not all superheros, and i guess we just have to suffer through it until it goes away or heals itself. til then, tick tock will ring eternally in your ears.
i wish she'd release another album already.
