Superheroes – Unveiling the Power Within Through Melody
Lyrics
All the meaner side of me
They took away the prophet’s dream
For a profit on the street
Now she’s stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
All his life he’s been told
He’ll be nothing when he’s old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won’t ever let it show
‘Cause he’s stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you’ve fighting for it all your life
You’ve been working every day and night
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You see fire in their eyes
‘Cause he’s stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you’ve fighting for it all your life
You’ve been working every day and night
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power, power)
(Power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power)
(Power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour turn the pain into power
She’s got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul
He’s a got a beast in his belly that’s so hard to control
‘Cause they’ve taken too much hits, taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch ’em explode
She’s got lions in her heart, a fire in her soul
He’s a got a beast in his belly that’s so hard to control
‘Cause they’ve taken too much hits, taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch ’em explode
(Explode, explode, explode, explode)
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you’ve fighting for it all your life
You’ve been working every day and night
That’s a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power, power)
Oh, yes (power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
(Power, power, power, power) ooh, yeah
Whoa (power, power, power, power)
Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power
When you’ve been fighting for it all your life
You’ve been struggling to make things right
That’s how a superhero learns to fly
Behind every chart-topping hit is a core message that resonates with its listeners, feeding their souls and often, providing an anthem for life’s battles. The Script’s acclaimed song ‘Superheroes’ does just this by journeying through pain and resilience, and ultimately, the transcendent power of the human spirit.

The Fire of Adversity Gives Birth to Steel Hearts
The anthem begins with a vivid description of life’s harshness, hinting at the societal and personal trials that craft the song’s characters into entities ‘stronger than you know.’ The acknowledgment of struggle is a universal thread, weaving through the tales of both the female and male protagonists – one possibly a figure battling life’s economic inequalities, the other grappling with the stigma of age and expectations.
Through stark imagery, ‘Superheroes’ suggests that pain is the forge in which the human character is tempered, giving rise to a formidable inner strength capable of overwhelming life’s incessant pressures.

This heartens listeners to persevere, fostering an internal revolution where the oppressed and downtrodden morph into masters of their destiny.
The magnificence of ‘Superheroes’ lies in its affirmation that the lowliest of struggles can catalyze the ascent to heroism. Converting trauma into triumph isn’t just an act of survival; it’s a profound exercise in becoming invincible.
Stand Back and Behold the Explosion of Power
A testament to inner fortitude, ‘Superheroes’ dramatizes this build-up of silent power under the duress of life’s vicious cycles. With compelling imagery – ‘lions in her heart’ and a ‘beast in his belly’ – the protagonists are shown to harbor an indomitable force that has been nurtured through suffering, waiting to be unleashed.
The effect is a visualization of the immense potential encapsulated within everyone. Encouraging the lighting of a metaphorical match, the song builds to a climax that celebrates the spectacular release of this accumulated power.
