Lyrics

Post-apocalyptic Superhero

You say it's all over
You say it doesn't make sense
This is the real apocalypse
This is the end of our civilization
And you can't call me
Surely the phones don't work
We won't go to dinner
There are no restaurants, for us

Will you be for me, again
A post-apocalyptic superhero?
Will I be for you, again
A post-apocalyptic superhero?
Will you save us, again
A post-apocalyptic superhero?
Will we go again, together
Holding our hands through the burning ruins

There are no more movie theaters
We are missing online love
Our whole world has been annihilated
Only mutated zombies everywhere
I don't know if you'll ever find me
In a gang of bandits or in a religious order
I don't know if we'll form a salvation army
Or become evil mutants

Are we evil mutants???

Will you be for me, again
A post-apocalyptic superhero?
Will I be for you, again
A post-apocalyptic superhero?
Will you save us, again
A post-apocalyptic superhero?
Will we go again, together
Holding our hands through the burning ruins

I don't know if I'm living an illusion
I turn on the light even though there is no electricity
They say one does not return to the same
That things will never be like they used to be
We can always here on the ruins
In this post-apocalyptic city
Build something completely different
New, better and post-apocalyptic

The singing style to this is engaging and draws you in, nice lyrics and sounds in here!

I'm not sure what I'm listening to, but it's a lot cooler than anything I ever wrote

As a fan of a good post-apocalyptic vaporwave wasteland. I can get behind this song wholeheartedly. I hope you develop this theme more.

Cool 80's energy here, bringing me to a Pet Shop Boys reminder.

i am VERY impressed by this world you've created.
i'm blown away at how easily you say post apocalyptic
love the lines:
I don't know if you'll ever find me
In a gang of bandits or in a religious order
I don't know if we'll form a salvation army
Or become evil mutants...
and the effect you use with the evil mutants line following
and last two lines of the final verse are so. great.
great take on the superhero prompt

Well, someone knows what my favorite fiction genre is! (Well, that along with dystopian, and of course they're similar in many ways.) I really love the synth and beats and the spoken word delivery that goes with it. Great job, and welcome to FAWM!!!

The synth and those claps that show up and the ringing bell….all meld perfectly together.
