Ani DiFranco - Superhero
Музыка
lyrics:
sleep walking through the all-nite drug store
baptized in fluorescent light
i found religion in the greeting card aisle
now i know hallmark was right
and every pop song on the radio
is suddenly speaking to me
art may imitate life
but life imitates t.v.
'cuz you've been gone exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and let's just say that things look different now
different in so many ways
i used to be a superhero
no one could touch me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everbody else
if i was dressed in my best defenses
would you agree to meet me for coffee
if i did my tricks with smoke and mirrors
would you still know which one was me
if i was naked and screaming
on your front lawn
would you turn on the light and come down
screaming, there's the asshole
who did this to me
stripped me of my power
stripped me down
i used to be a superhero
no one could hurt me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else
yeah you've been gone exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and now i'm a different person
different in so many ways
tell me what did you like about me
and don't say my strength and daring
'cuz now i think i'm at your mercy
and it's my first time for this kind of thing
i used to be a superhero
i would swoop down and save me
from myself
but you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else

Mine too.
She speaks to my soul
How I feel.about Ani is beyond words. Integrity, talent, hobesty, rawness, emotive, valued, kind.....my favourite musician. Just wish she would come to Australia soon x
Ani, thank you for showing us how to bare ourselves to Soul)))))) 🙌🏽🐈⬛🖤
Ani, I have always loved your music! Pure Genius!!❣
My wife of 11 years died last year; almost a year later, I met a woman I was completely enamored with and we start dating. 2 months later she says her feelings towards me had changed from romantic to “friendly”...I was crushed. This song has TOTALLY new meaning to me!!! I feel it in the middle of my chest like a burning!
what are the odds of finding this disc on the side of the road day's after a nasty break up? it happened to me years ago .i never heard of her but this ended up being one of my most liked cd's.and memorable .

“Now look at me I am just like everybody else..” Is the most depressing and scary truths I have faced.. I am lame..

I wrote the poem below while listening to this song from one of my all-time favorite albums. For those interested, my poetry books can be found by searching my name, Timothy Paul Carroll, on Amazon/Kindle --- Capturing Superman I used to leap over tall buildings- Could see danger coming from a mile away And then a kiss, like kryptonite I fell through the clouds on that day All of my devices had enslaved me I shared a cave with regret and pain Splitting apart, too much duplicity She was the asylum that made my life sane I carried sharp, hidden blades in my flesh They scarred my past with oblique stripes In darkness and turmoil, she came to my rescue Hand-in-hand, we escaped, following the light Swinging between deception and disaster I was my most venomous arch-nemesis She saw through the many masks I wore Before her love, I'm completely powerless ©Timothy Paul Carrol 9-21-21 #Superwoman #PaulOnMars #Superman #Batman #Wolverine #Spiderman
All my guards fell away. I want you to be my Super Hero 🥰
Lets jus say things look so different now
you are like a phone booth
Still sleep walking...🚶🚶♀️🚶♂️
Smoke and mirrors

A girl once told me this song made her think about me.
