#MyKryptonite.

The Hero Superman represents the upmost pinnacle of super strength. Known as the man of steel, he is indestructible, Faster than a speeding bullet, he flies, he shoots red hot lasers out of is eyes, sees through anything, can blow winds out of his mouth and nostril stronger than tornadoes, he can hear a pin drop from miles away, and of course, he has super strength. As the comic would have it, Superman derives his powers from earth’s yellow sun. His only weakness, fragments of the core of his former planet Krypton, called Kryptonite. When exposed to this element, Superman is robbed of his powers, becoming an ordinary man, WEAK! Within the mythos, Kryptonite is the ultimate natural weakness of Superman. In popular culture, this element is the Achilles Heel, namely, the one weakness of an otherwise invulnerable hero.

The song “My Kryptonite” merely borrows this concept to express the simple realization that, IVE TRIED TO MAINTAIN MY SUPER POWERS AS A MAN, AND NOT FALL IN LOVE, IVE TRIED TO REMAIN LEVEL HEADED AND NOT LOOSE COMPOSURE, BUT, BABY YOU, YOU ARE THE ELEMENT THAT HAS WEAKENED ME ENOUGH TO BRING ME TO MY KNEES AND SAY I LOVE YOU.”

 

This is a song that brings to fore, the battle in every man properly so called, to fight for their independence and singlehood. The super hero in the song, after being exposed to his Kryptonite, declares, he is no super man at all, BUT EVEN IF HE WAS, SHE’D BE HIS KRYPTONITE…

 

Do enjoy this song, it comes from a special place in my heart.
