This lyric comes from the outro of “The Less I Know the Better” by Tame Impala. The track is sung from the point of view of a man who feels like he’s losing the woman he’s interested in to a romantic rival named Trevor.^{[1]

Research source} Singer Kevin Parker sings about how painful it is to see Trevor and this girl together, eventually concluding that the less he knows about the situation, the better. Finally, he repeats the lyric “So, come on, Superman, say your stupid line” in the outro of the song, apparently accepting defeat.
- Many fans consider the lyric to be a moment of acceptance for the singer, as he realizes that the girl he loves will choose Trevor because he’s more charming, popular, or charismatic. In this interpretation, he’s basically saying, “Go ahead and make your move already.”
- Other fans think the singer is talking to himself in this moment. In this interpretation, he’s encouraging himself to be brave and speak up before he loses the girl of his dreams. The official music video may support this theory, since the lyric plays as the main character gears up for a showdown with Trevor.
- Either way, the lyric is an iconic part of one of Tame Impala’s most iconic tracks!
