This song is about feeling like you're superman, capable of righting all wrongs and cutting through all of the crap that life chucks up at us.
Glen has also offered a couple of other explanations.
He once said that when he came out of the cinema, after watching the movie "Michael Collins" he felt like Superman, capable of anything. Also, he's introduced the song a few times as being about art and money being like oil and water and that everytime you take money for making art, it's like selling a limb.
Glen is very patriotic. And has always been very concerned about the Celtic Tiger, and how the history or Ireland and it's people is being diluted and sold down the river for money. And this song may have been a manifestation of that national pride and the love for his own country men and women now, and of times past.
