"Theory Of A Superhero" Lyric Critique -- Pop/Rock Song

by Mark Fyers
(Auckland, New Zealand)

Tempo: N/A

This song has no melody as yet... currently working on different variations but going for a commercial mid tempo sound. Plan is to build track up into powerful ballad with plenty of orchestral rock sound


Intro Break

Maybe someday you can lick my wounds
As shadows begin to walk over me, I await a sign
Maybe someday you can walk in my shoes
And see your world is not that different to mine

We all have fears, some emotions to defeat
Still I lay on bended knees deeply I begin to think
Of how far we've come and where we've been
Than I hear an echo from afar, it's time to wear the label
And become an idol, a consequence of being extraordinary
When all I've ever wanted is to be ordinary

Give me love, to get me through my darkest days
Give me faith that I could be anything I want to be
Give me hope when I hide behind a mask
Because all that I need is just to believe
That I am an ordinary man, so give me back my identity

The world is hanging on the edge of a piece of string
These eyes don't recognise the man standing on edge
These hands made of purity are washed in dirty water
As I deliver palms to my face and render these tears

Repeat Chorus

Maybe I am addicted to this feeling
Maybe there's no cure to prescribe
I don't want to live a lie anymore
But live a lie is what we have become

Now that I have to face my demons
Now that I have shed my fears and exposed myself
Do you realise a name isn't everything

Maybe someday you can lick my wounds
Maybe someday you can lick my wounds

Repeat chorus
