The Flaming Lips – Waitin' for a Superman Lyrics | 14 years ago |
i think Superman is God. when he asks "is it overwhelming to use a crane to crush a fly" i think he is angry at God for allowing this person (who is most likely dead or dying) to suffer so much pain and to die in such a way. "its a good time for Superman to lift the sun into the sky" i think this means it's a good time for God to bring some new hope or happiness into his life. and "it's just too heavy for a Superman to lift" i think this is an answer to the "can God create a rock so big he cannot lift it?" question. the writer feels like yes, God can and has done this with the person who is suffering. I think this song is about losing hope and faith in God, and losing a deeply loved one. |
