{I'm} getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and ...

What makes you think it's about superheroes??

Anyway, I think it's just generally about a guy who's starting to crack up. He's got nothing under control anymore, it feels like something else is controlling or corrupting him. "There's demons in my head" and he feels like he can't cope with it much longer. "And it's more than I can take" he finds it hard to admit though, as it's a sign of weakness "but I think it's kind of weak."

He knows he himself is the problem, that's why he wants to get away from himself, but sadly enough that's the one thing we can never escape from and have to face and come to terms with.

I like the song because it describes how I feel a lot of the time, just wanting to get away from myself.

Look, most of the time the video clip has nothing to do with what the actual song its about. So don't just say "ooh look at the video clip, I'm just going to say what TV put into my head."

The songs clearly relating to mental illness. Depression, anxiety, paranoia, etc.

This could be about mental illness (depression, paranoia), or drug use.
If he's using drugs, he feels like he's on a roll and he can't stop, but he's freaking out and paranoid, and he doesn't feel good at all.

In addition, this song could be about a guy on the run because he made a "bad choice" (like, as the song could be intepreted, he kills someone) and now he's trying to get away from his worst enemy and accuser... Himself. But of course, he can't, so he's edgy, paranoid, and freaked out.
