Superhero

Been "sharing" a bit of late and came across this gem, also by The Pretty Reckless (making it two in two days).

I think we're all searching for a hero one way or another. Deep down we're all responsible for our own short comings or awesomeness. Heroes as depicted in media or even in film are far and few between and even then at the end of the day they're still only really doing for themselves. Kind of makes me think of that saying there is no unselfish act... even if the only reward is self gratification.

Super Hero or Super Villain we can so easily play either side and often jump from one to the other. Who do we hurt? Generally ourselves... who's the most likely to save you? Yourself.

Todays tune, "Superhero"...

All alone again searchin for somethin'
There's no one left to save me now
I won't be afraid I just thought you'd catch me
But you're not here to save me now

I've had my share of criminals
And you're no different from them all

I need a superhero cause I am just a girl
And I have no one who will go
And save me from this world
Come to me you superhero
Cause I am just a girl
I know cause you're no
Superhero

What did I expect I thought you'd help me
But I was crushed and beaten down

Yeah I've had my share of criminals
And you're no different from them all

I need a superhero cause I am just a girl
And I have no one who will go
And save me from this world
Come to me you superhero
Cause I am just a girl
I know cause you're no
Superhero

I'm hangin on the edge of the world
I'm clutching to a string
And my life is crumbling down

I need a superhero someone to save me
I need a superhero someone to save me

I need a superhero cause I am just a girl
And I have no one who will go
And save me from this world
Come to me you superhero
Cause I am just a girl
I know cause you're no superhero

I think most fail to realise that the superhero is inside themselves.
