When first listening to this song (and honestly for the longest time after that), I only thought of it in one way. I interpreted it by the the title "Superman" and the fact that he is describing that character. I always thought it was about how being Superman isn't all it's cracked up to be. You have all this power, but you still have problems like everybody else. Now, after really listening to the song and thinking about it, it's about a lot more: heroes aren't always the guys in capes. It's a ode to military men and women, people who struggle with life everyday and keep going are heroes, too...just so many things. I don't really get the video's significance, but I definitely like the song.
I also thought that Five for Fighting, a name derived from the hockey penalty, was the name of a band. It's actually just the stage name of singer-songwriter John Ondrasik. He adopted the moniker while he was in college at UCLA, where he graduated with an applied science and mathematics degree.
