Kryptonite Lyrics

I took a walk around the world To ease my troubled mind I left my body laying somewhere In the sands of time I watched the world float To the dark side of the moon I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah I watched the world float To the dark side of the moon After all I knew it had to be Something to do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then As long as you'll be my friend at the end If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite You called me strong, you called me weak, But still your secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I never let you down You stumbled in and bumped your head, If not for me then you would be dead I picked you up and put you back On solid ground If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be there Holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, Will you be there holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite Yeah!! If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be there Holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite

Meaning of Kryptonite

“Kryptonite” explores a desperate and vulnerable dependence on another person, portraying a relationship where the narrator feels utterly lost without their love. The lyrics depict a fantastical journey – floating to the dark side of the moon – reflecting a detached state of mind fueled by this intense connection. He frames himself as “Superman,” reliant on this other person for stability and strength, yet acknowledges moments of perceived weakness. Despite being called strong or weak, he steadfastly remains loyal and supportive, constantly rescuing this individual from potential harm ("bumped your head"). The repeated question – "If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?" – underscores a profound fear of abandonment and a need for reassurance. Ultimately, the song’s core message is one of unwavering devotion and a willingness to sacrifice everything, symbolized by “Kryptonite,” the substance that weakens Superman, representing this individual's complete reliance on their love.
