Description

I was inspired to write this song by a Madonna interview someone showed me a few years ago. The interviewer asks Madonna what she wants to accomplish, and she responds without hesitation, "I want to rule the world." I thought a lot about the contrast between where she was then and where she is now, and I tried to imagine how it must feel to look back at your past after accomplishing everything you wanted to accomplish. The song just flowed from there.

Lyrics

Superhuman by Sarah Solovay Used to say “one day I’m gonna rule the world, And you’ll tell your friends, I knew that girl, She loved me once but I let her get away,” That’s what I swore you’d say… These days I don’t walk, I fly, And you see the shape of my body as I soar through the sky, You used to shine so bright but all colors fade, Now as I watch yours turn to grey, I’m dying to say… Never wanted to be superhuman, This wasn’t meant to be my crown, Just wanted to be with you and, Run away, never turn around... Standing here and you’re wide open, Say for sure that you love me now, Never wanted to be superhuman, But that’s what I had to be when you let me down... Let me down... You used to say “Oh no, I’ll never fall in love, It’s just suicide, I’ve seen how that ends up, I’d whisper, it could work out another way,” But that’s what you’d always say… These days, baby I breathe fire, I go harder, faster, stronger and I don’t get tired, I don’t just shine, I’m made of kryptonite, I can even hide myself from sight, But it don’t feel right… Cause… Never wanted to be superhuman, This wasn’t meant to be my crown, Just wanted to be with you and, Run away, never turn around... Standing here and you’re wide open, Say for sure that you love me now, Never wanted to be superhuman, But that’s what I had to be when you let me down... Let me down... Let me down… Truth is, I’m never gonna die, Let this body fade, but I, I will survive, So let me thank you for making me wake up and live my life, Let me pay you back tonight, You’re gonna be alright… I never wanted to be superhuman, This wasn’t meant to be my crown, Just wanted to be with you and, Run away, never turn around... Standing here and you’re wide open, Say for sure that you love me now, Never wanted to be superhuman, But that’s what I had to be when you let me down... Let me down... Let me down… Let me down…
