Have you read poems and stories where lovers say that they can move mountains for each other? Are you a fan of superheroes because they have powers that do not exist in real life? Of course we all love stories about impossible and amazing things. But this song is about the importance of the “common,” or regular, people we have beside us. Real human relationships are less about things like superpowers and more about care and comfort.
The lyrics mention some famous characters like Hercules and Achilles, who are heroes from Greek mythology, and Batman and Spiderman, who are superheroes from American culture.
You can also use this song to learn the correct pronunciation for harder-to-say words like “myths”, “testaments” or “eclipse,”
Lines to focus on:

The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I’m not the kind of person that it fits
