Superman Lyrics

[Verse 1] One day you're gonna see my mugshot From a night when I got a little too drunk Hear a song about a girl that I lost From the times when I just wouldn't grow up [Pre-Chorus] And when you ain't a kid no more I hope you don't think less of me I try to hide my fallin' short But you're gonna see [Chorus] Now and then, that bottle's my kryptonite Brings a man of steel down to his knees Don't always know my wrong from right Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy No, I don't always save the day But you know for you I'll always try I do the best I can, but Superman's Still just a man sometimes, oh, sometimes [Verse 2] One day the weight of this cold world's Gonna find it's way down onto your back One night the wolves will get closer And you'll be the one they're runnin' straight at See Morgan Wallen Live Get tickets as low as $232 You might also like You Had To Be There Megan Moroney & Kenny Chesney Superman Eminem I Got Better Morgan Wallen [Pre-Chorus] Don't you back down, don't you run Stand your ground, stick to your guns You ain't gonna dodge every punch, but Just know you ain't the only one [Chorus] Now and then, that bottle's my kryptonite Brings a man of steel down to his knees Don't always know my wrong from right Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy No, I don't always save the day But you know for you I'll always try I do the best I can, but Superman's Still just a man sometimes, oh, sometimes [Bridge] I can't stop a bullet, but I take one I can't move a mountain, but I face one One day we'll say, “Where'd the years go?” But I hope I'm always your hero [Chorus] 'Cause now and then, that bottle's my kryptonite Brings a man of steel down to his knees Don't always know my wrong from right Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy No, I don't always save the day But you know for you I'll always try I do the best I can, but Superman's Still just a man sometimes, oh, sometimes

Meaning of Superman

The song explores themes of self-destruction, vulnerability, and unwavering love despite flaws. Wallen uses the Superman metaphor to represent himself – a flawed individual constantly battling inner demons (the 'kryptonite' of alcohol) and struggling to be a reliable partner. He acknowledges his mistakes but expresses a persistent desire to be a source of support and heroism for someone he cares about.
