[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
[Verse 1]
She’s watching the taxi driver, he pulls away
She’s been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days
She says, Yeah, he’s still coming, just a little bit late 31
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape
She’s just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name
Like Lois Lane
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles 32
[Chorus]
She’s talking to angels, counting the stars 33
Making a wish on a passing car 34
She’s dancing with strangers, falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, in his arms
Waiting for Superman 35
[Verse 2]
She’s out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
Nothing’s making sense
She’s been chasing an answer 36
A sign lost in the abyss, this Metropolis 37
She says, yeah he’s still coming just a little bit late
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day
She says, if life was a movie then it wouldn’t end like this
Left without a kiss
She smiles, the way she smiles yeah 38
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and climbing through the air
Save her now before it’s too late tonight
Oh, like a speeding light
And she smiles 39
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
To lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and climbing through the air
Save her now before it’s too late tonight
She’s waiting for Superman 40
Daughtry is singing about this girl who is waiting for a man who she believes is everything to her. Her anxiety makes her keep looking out of the window the moment any taxi passes by or stops in the hope that her man has finally home. Wanting to avoid disappointing him, should he come home, she has stayed in the apartment for quite a long time, making this a very unhealthy relationship as her own life and ties to other people are cut, just to try please one man. She also has this unwavering belief that eventually he will come, even if it is after eternity.
He says that in place of reviewing her relationship with this man, she makes excuses for his whereabouts, something that even she, is not privy to. In her fantasies the clouds seem to spell her name, a message she takes to be from her superman. Lois Lane, is Superman’s love in DC Comics, who is always waiting for superman although in the comics he does eventually marry her.
Daughtry could be using talking to angels to mean that she prays or that she imagines that she talks to some supernatural beings. It seems that in her spare time she counts stars, to help time move a little faster, a futile act.
Daughtry says she is making wishes on passing cars, contrary to the norm which is to make a wish on a star. This can be interpreted as a sign of her dissociation from reality.
Daughtry sings that to pass time, she is getting involved with new people, probably having sex to fill the void left by the missing superman. Instead, these strangers just do further damage to her, while she keeps hoping that superman will turn up and save her. In the comics, Lois Lane is always saved by Superman and she hopes, that in life, she too will be saved by the man she loves.
According to Daughtry, this girl goes out into society not to find her footing but rather to try see if she can see or feel hints of man. In a way, she is doing her investigations to see if he may be hanging around somewhere else in the neighbourhood.
Metropolis is city of superman in the Comics, it is a vast ultra-urban city, a city in whose darkness she thinks he is lost in.
Daughtry says that when she is asked about his whereabouts, she keeps making excuses because even she, does not know where he is. From these lines, Daughtry makes it clear that she thinks that she is living in a movie, where the endings show that they all lived happily ever after. She cannot understand how he could leave without even a goodbye kiss.
He shares her dreams, in which she longs for her man to save her from a situation of her own making, to love her and shield her from all that would want to hurt her. The thought of that scenario brings a smile to her lips.
All these things are the things that Daughtry says she wants from her superman but unlike the real superman, who always saves Lois Lane, her superman is nowhere to be seen. This song shows that her man is just an ordinary man, who she has placed on a pedestal and even when he is the one hurting her, she can’t see it.
