3 Doors Down – Kryptonite lyrics

3 Doors Down – Kryptonite lyrics

I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere
In the sands of time
But 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 a-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'd 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 a-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 a-holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

Woah-woah-oh
Woah-woah-oh
Woah-woah-oh
Woah-woah-oh

When I get angered.
My mind goes a thousand miles an hour all over the place, searching for an answer to resolve my pain that is in some way tied to you. But there's nothing I can do but want to explode.
And when I vent, I'm am unstoppable! I have the strength of a hundred men - am I still your superman? But you! You are my kryptonite - to hold my hand; to hold my deepest hatred at bay - you keep me sane while I am alive. Pleas understand, my love for you is forever adn as strong as I can hate. I can love!
(carol, forgive me, love.)

I feel as though the song was about a person who got hook on drugs or alcohol and has tried to get off of them but the drugs keep talking to them (via their head) and trying to convince them to come back or not go at all. They (drugs) have a very strong hold on them and calls itself Kryptonite because it makes them so weak it's almost impossible to break away without help (Like Superman has to have every time kryptonite has him down someone comes to help him) and is fighting to stay alive in the person. It is made to sound like something all can relate to though a super unhealthy relationship and is really trying not to blame anyone but still at the same time is trying to deal with the guilt of the other person getting hooked (on the relationship)and blaming them and the first person wants to be friends no matter what. But the relationship is the addiction now and therefor the Kryptonite. Because every time they get together they get weak. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I think it's about the youth and them trying to make a difference in the world. I say this because they are constantly pushed down and tossed aside like they know nothing and can do nothing and are wrong. The only time the youth is really noticed and their ideals and thoughts are portrayed is when the riot and protest and defy. Aka "the ill go crazy" and the "superhuman might" means that eventually they will push through and become unstoppable and uncontainable. Another example is that the government constantly leans of not just the youth but they are the majority aka "you stumbled in and bumped your head, if not for me you'd be dead".

I thought this song, was about someone who had died, or was about to die. "I took a walk around the world to ease my trouble mind." I assumed that this person was on drugs, and is basically saying if I come back, will you still be there for me, after all I have done and been through. Will I still be your hero even though I gave into my weakness?
