The song "Superman" by Unwritten Law is a rock track with a rebellious undertone. The lyrics convey feelings of frustration, independence, and a desire to break free from societal expectations or influence. The song starts by acknowledging that someone (possibly the person being addressed) is always on the singer's mind, but they don't have the time or interest to listen to their voice anymore. It suggests that the person has been dishonest or manipulative, as their lies are described as "beneficial" but meant to keep others in ignorance, represented by closed eyes. However, the singer claims to see through these lies now. The chorus introduces the idea of being like Superman, wearing a three-piece suit and having a master plan. It implies that the singer is taking control of their own destiny and will save themselves, rather than relying on anyone else. The phrase "Here I come to save the day" is a reference to the catchphrase of the fictional superhero Superman. Towards the end of the song, the singer reiterates their lack of desire to follow or be influenced by the person they are addressing. They assert their independence and refuse to be manipulated, emphasizing that they cannot be made to follow against their will. Overall, "Superman" expresses a sense of empowerment, independence, and the rejection of manipulative influences. It encourages listeners to take charge of their own lives and be their own heroes, rather than relying on others.
