Lyrics:
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naïve
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird,
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
I wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd but don't be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me

I lost my dad too, it was June 25th, 2022. After I graduated middle school, before he passed away, he posted photos on his Instagram and said this "My little man is graduating today. All grown up, honor student. Can't be more blessed than this. I am confident you will do well in your journey becoming a man. I will always be with you and love you. My eyes through yours, Son becomes the father and the father becomes the sun." One of his favorite lines from the Superman movies. I'll always love him, and I wish you lots of luck

I can’t help but think of Christopher Reeve’s great portrayal of my favorite superhero growing up, then all his bravery and all his struggles after he was paralyzed in that accident, and the other hero, his wife, that stood by his side, cared for him until the very end. And joined him in death, just a few months after he passed away, even though she was a healthy 44 year old woman. She died of a broken heart. RIP Christopher and Dana Reeve, you’re both heros

yes, love is strong and dying of a broken heart is a real scientifically proven death - in a way the heart is like our emotional brain and this song tugs at the heart strings. When superman soared on the screen my heart swelled with joy, even as it does with simple things like watching spring leaves unfold on the tree outside the window or playing music with others. The fear and anger in the world cannot quench the love in the human heart.

In my youth, high school, and unversity years, I had NO trouble spelling complex words, actually winning regional and placing in state spelling bees. On some really bad days, you guys reading this would think me to be typing some foreign language. If not some form of dimentia, I'm thinking possibly cte brought on from years of combat sports. I've not told anyone around me this, for fear of changing the way they see me....don't know, guys.... suggestion?

I've been there. There's plenty of new medications out there now that can get her off the dope without going through withdrawals. Would she consider a methadone clinic to start with? I went from methadone to Suboxone, and that worked for me. Cold turkey withdrawals were too painful and long lasting. Try to get her on a program. You both have my prayers.

When I was a kid I just view this as that “superman song”. But as I grew up I realised how incredible the lyrics are; it’s about viewing the other side of a story; how superman in our mind is that perfect beacon of happiness and strength everyone wants to be- but the truth is that perhaps he never even existed. Perhaps the real superman is afraid of flying, is suffering from loneliness, is burdened by his own power, lives eternal but dies alone. Superman is a symbol of our naive way of viewing the world when we never saw pass the layers. We grew up, we failed, we made mistakes, we get rejected, battered, disappointed, we fell in love, found a family, and realised that those naive dreams are not what it seems, it’s just the way it is, it’s not easy but it’s okay.

My dad committed suicide when I was ten, leaving behind me and my mom (who has chronic illness). It was definitely unexpected, I had many great memories with him - I just didn’t know how deep his mental health problems went. Fast forward past many bumps in the road and I’m now working on my Master’s Degree to become a counselor. I really hope I can help people who are going through difficult things with the education I’m getting. That being said, some days I still remember what motivated me to choose this career path in the first place: I remember the pain I felt when my dad passed and the fear that my mom could have or still will go down anytime with her illness. I want to be strong for others by helping them, supporting them and hearing them out through their terrible times, but that doesn’t mean I’m without days of sadness or loneliness of the pain and fear I’ve faced. Whenever I have those days, I come and listen to this song.

I’m currently in one of the most difficult and saddest period of my life. I’m struggling everyday and I feel like pieces of me are breaking everyday. I find solace in music, in beautiful songs like this and in hope. I don’t know any of you who will read this comment, but I want to say that I love you all. Maybe I can’t understand your pain, what you are going through, but I wish all of you peace and a beautiful life. Even Superman, one of my most beloved superheroes, has troubles and he suffers, but he is the symbol of hope, and we can all be Superman a little bit if we Hope. One day maybe, we’ll be free from all of our pain and we’ll be flying high with happiness and feeling peace inside. I wish all of you all the peace life has taken away from you and I wish you all one day, to look back at your demons and your struggles and say “It wasn’t easy, but I did it, I’m still here, I’m fine, you no longer can control me”. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart and my soul ❤️.

hey, we don't have identical experiences and I'm sure your issues are significantly different from mine. but I do understand going through the worst issues of your life, at least up to the point of life you're experiencing, and I wanted to say that as hard as it is, relief eventually comes. Even if the initial issue sticks around in your brain and makes it hard to truly move on, you can move onto a new chapter of your life and spend years working through your initial hangups. For me, it was leaving a toxic dependant friendship with my best friend because he began dating a girl I had just spent a year confiding in him about a crush I had on her. Is it high school shit? Sure. But it fucking hurt more than just about anything. I haven't had consistent friends in my life. The fact that someone seemingly used my feelings to blow his nose into before throwing them in the bin, that was huge. And I struggled with that for years. Today, I hang out with my coworkers. I understand that my kindness is a choice. There is a Rational reaction and an Emotional reaction, and sometimes they don't align and you have to pick one. The cheat code is that if you spend too much time trying to rationalise an emotional response, you're going to realise that despite your best efforts, your emotions win. Don't torture yourself over "facts over feelings" and a need to reconcile everything. Let yourself feel whatever you need to feel. Usually, even if it's ugly and dark, you'll understand what you need to do to move forward.

The ending of the video really shows the true intent behind the song. You may initially relate it to just a song about Superman, but the true meaning is about being a husband and a father. As a man, your expected to be strong, stoic and basically a “super hero” to your family. How many of us are our dads as Superman? This song means more now than ever before, with masculinity under attack.

This hits home as guy who has never owned anything that I can call home. If I am some hero in some way. The song reminds me even heroes get stabbed and have the right to bleed.

I knew about this song for a long time but it hasn't hit me until now. I don't cry I'm not good at it, I struggle with emotion everyday. I've always Identified with Superman because I know what it's like to have to smile, and to play a up your happiness and be hopeful. Struggling with health issues I can't be down be down because I can't do that to my family, they can't see me down. But now as I'm nearly 30 I feel so stuck in life, so alone not having anyone and being a little angry at all the young years that I never had because of my health. All the friends who just didn't bother and left me behind. The fact I don't have any now. Sometimes it's really not easy to be me. But if anyone reading this feels anything similar or is just down. Never fall into hopelessness there is always hope. I don't know where you got this idea that your weak, or ugly, or pathetic, or worthless, or whatever it may be but you are enough you are so enough it is unbelievable how enough you are, and you are worth it. And even when it's hard and I know it's hard, I know it can be fucking hard but smile especially when it's hard smile, when it feels like that sinking feeling is closing in, when that black cloud is just a few feet behind, when the black dog of depression is nipping at your heels, SMILE!!!

This song is one of the most brilliantly written, performed and melodic songs of all time. It literally tears at your heart and soul. Released in April, just 5 months before 9/11, this gem became the anthem dedicated to all of the first responders and civilians who gave or risked their lives for their fellow american citizens. What has happened to us as a nation since then? You've written so many other brilliant songs as well, John. Can you write another one to bring us back some unity these days?

The real Superman depicted in this song is within each and everyone of us. Trying to do everything for our love ones. That no matter how hard we try to protect our love ones, trying to be strong for them ( esp. In times of great sickness and/or soldiers at war)...we have to admit that we still bleed inside. That we have the capacity to do great and even impossible things because of the love we have inside of us. A song dedicated for mothers who sacrifices their life and health just to give life to another human being. We don't have wings but we have love inside which can cross even the vast oceans or even fly way past into the moon. Salute to all who have so much in their hearts.

I don't know how I got here, as soon as I heard this song my tears came to my eyes... It's been so long... I listened to this song all the time, when my children were little, like 4 and 7 years old, at that time I separated from my husband, he returned to our country and I stayed with my two young kids here in the USA. I got depressed, I wanted to go back to my country and my mother told me don't do it, hold on, you'll do better there than here... wise words... now my daughter with 23 years old, she has just graduated as an economist and my son is studying computer science, both in Los Angeles, good guys and I am so proud of them… life is difficult, it is not easy but it is beautiful and you have to draw strength from anywhere. Now I look back and say I did it, it was hard being single mom but I did it. Thanks God ❤ and my dad (my angel)

This song changed my life. I justified my worth with my looks, my grades, and my friendships, but I realized something. If everything was stripped away if I was left broke and alone, what could I look back on and be proud of. Nothing. From here on, I vow to be different. No more lies, no more masks, no more capes, just me; honest, apologetic, and true.
