The protagonist of the song is talking about how hard it is to be a hero, like Superman, because people expect him to always be strong and brave. He wishes he could cry and be vulnerable like everyone else, and sometimes feels like he's looking for something special inside himself. Despite all of this, he knows that he has to keep going and that it's okay to have dreams, even if they seem silly to other people.
