The treacherous ocean acts as a metaphor for the relationship the speaker brought their partner into, using sharks as a symbol for chaos to represent the danger in their love. The lyrics "I been on a man hunt/Or maybe it’s survival" show painful awareness of the root of the speaker's problem: self-preservation.

It’s not your normal song of empowerment. With lyrics such as “I’ve got a loaded gun,” and “Baby if you hurt me / I might break some bones,”  there’s a certain element of danger that is exciting and unique to the artist.

Callie takes the story of Superman and instead of focusing on the fact that he has these super powers, it focusing on the human elements that Clark Kent brings to the character. This song also expresses the idea of a love so incredible it has to be from out of this world.
