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.
