I did a song analysis on Carnival and IAH. Let me know if you need any ideas.

If you're doing it on Superman's Dead, please read Jimmy Corrigan. There's a scene where the superman commited suicide and a the protagonist witnessed it, or rather, maybe he imagined it. Superman's Dead is basically what LIAM said, but just thought it would be cool to say it's an allusion to Jimmy Corrigan.

i guess that's one of the many interpretations for that song, that's one of the great things about OLP, all the interpretations! :lol:

but here's raine's interpretation-

"It's just about how hard it is for kids to grow up today. They're inundated with the media and images and cliques they try to have to fit into. Two images that are really strong for me lyrically are 'ordinary's just not good enough today,' and when I think of kids today, I would never think of a group of eight-year-olds going out to a baseball park and throwing the ball around. It doesn't happen any more. I have a nine-year-old brother; he's either inside playing Nintendo or staying up late on a school night watching Beavis & Butt-Head. And you juxtapose that against the old Superman, on the black and white series. He was a real hero, good values, strong willed, a gentleman, but I think Beavis & Butt-Head wins today." -Raine Maida
