tinyranitar Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I mean, it sounds pretty amazing and I've been listening to it for nearly a year now, but still don't get what it really means. My interpretation is that when we are alone, we all think we are Superman and we are destinied to do great things, yet in front of others we hide it because we are afraid of our idea being disregarded, destroyed so we keep it to ourselves. So, what do you think of this song? If this thing is not your cup of tea, please no hate reply (not that I can't take it, but I want to keep the discussion civil). And this is not about the quality of the song, it's about the meaning. If you need the lyrics, check spoiler The night has a thousand eyesBut he moves in only placesWhere the eyes can never be The night tells a thousand liesAnd when you wake up in the morningWere you dreaming, screamingTryin to hide your burnin' heartBefore somebody cuts it all away Sunset supermanSunset supermanSunset superman Somebody start the gameAnd the dark will just get louderAs it shouts away the light A shadow without a nameBut when he wakes up in the morningHe just won't know was he a heroTrying to hide his burning heartBefore somebody cuts it all away Sunset supermanSunset supermanSunset supermanAnybody canSunset superman The night has a thousand eyesBut he moves in only placesWhere the eyes can never be The night tells a thousand liesAnd when you wake up in the morningWere you dreaming, screamingTryin to hide your broken heartBefore somebody cuts it all away Sunset supermanSunset supermanSunset superman Sunset supermanSunset supermanSuperman, ooh Sunset supermanSunset supermanSunset superman, ooh Anybody canAnybody canSunset superman, ooh Sunset supermanSunset supermanSunset superman, ooh Sunset supermanSunset supermanSunset superman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Pharen Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 To me it seems like it's a song about coming out of a bad relationship. The night being a metaphor for depression and the theme being stuck on a loop of constantly remembering what happened, not being able to let it go, and the uncertainty of who was at fault and if he was able to change it, or if it was unavoidable. The eyes being memories. My guess is the "sunset superman" part is trying to pick up the courage to try again, and possibly having self esteem pulled away by the memories, making it difficult to move on. Maybe I'm looking into this too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
