Chasing the Superfine: A Journey to Feel Alive
Fly By Midnight's song 'SuperFine' is a vibrant anthem that captures the essence of seeking a state of euphoria and contentment. The repetitive chorus, 'I just wanna be okay, all right, all day, all night, superfine,' emphasizes a longing for a consistent sense of well-being and happiness. This desire for a 'superfine' state is portrayed as an almost addictive pursuit, likened to a 'hit' that takes one to new heights, suggesting a craving for moments that make life feel extraordinary.
The lyrics delve into the internal struggle of the narrator, who acknowledges a tendency to wait for bad luck, a form of self-sabotage. The phrase 'My tendency is latency, I wait around for bad luck' reflects a recognition of this detrimental habit. However, there's a turning point where the narrator decides to 'eighty-six and go, go, go,' indicating a resolve to break free from this cycle and actively seek out positivity and fulfillment.
Metaphorically, the song uses imagery like 'running a wire with an atlas pose' and being 'so close to the fire' to depict the precarious balance between risk and reward in the pursuit of happiness. The narrator's 'sanity' begs them not to wait for bad luck, reinforcing the theme of taking control of one's destiny. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody complement its message, making 'SuperFine' not just a song, but a motivational anthem for anyone striving to feel alive and 'superfine.'
