Rasmus’ new album “Dark matters” will be out next week and the rock band unveiled the music video for the track “Wonderman”.
The song, written by frontman Lauri with Carl Restivo and Pauli Rantasalmi, also appears on the soundtrack for Finnish superhero film “Rendel”.
About the single, Lauri said: “It is a song about a child’s great imagination. This kid has created himself an alter ego that he becomes when he’s been bullied or put in a hard place. But his imagination saves him”.
The accompanying music video was directed by Jesse Haaja and filmed in Kajaani, Finland.
Lyrics:
In my mind, I always thought I was a different kind
‘Cause back in time I used to think that everyone was blind
They always call me as a loser – zero
When I look into the mirror there’s a superhero
People thought that I would never amount to anything
Dream away the thing my thoughts were different then
Never could express myself to differ words right
But I’m a different man when day turns to night
You think I’m crazy, that I’ve lost my senses
The world finally will finally learn the truth
You, you wouldn’t understand
‘Cause you don’t know who I am
I’m the wonderman
I’m gonna prove them wrong
I’m gonna take a stand
I’m the wonderman
Kind of shy, kind of timid, not a go-getter
Every night I roam the streets try to make it better
Hate slow me up I never was bitter
Always fighting for what’s right, but I’m not a quitter
When you step into my world you might not understand
Everybody’s acting crazy, getting out of hand
I might bend the law a bit, but I will not break it
Just make it easy for the underdogs that take it
You think I’m crazy, that I’ve lost my senses
The world finally will finally learn the truth
You, you wouldn’t understand
‘Cause you don’t know who I am
I’m the wonderman
I’m gonna prove them wrong
I’m gonna take a stand
I’m the wonderman
This my, my story, I’m not out of glory
This my, my story, I’m not out of glory
This my, my story, I’m not out of glory
This my, my story, I’m not out of glory
This my, my story, I’m not out of glory
This my, my story, I’m not out of glory
You, you wouldn’t understand
‘Cause you don’t know who I am
I’m the wonderman
I’m gonna prove them wrong
I’m gonna take a stand
I’m the wonderman
