Lyrics analysis with age appropriateness assessment
Minimum age: All ages
These are the lyrics to Stevie Wonder's classic 'Superstition.' The song contains no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug references. The primary theme is a straightforward cautionary message against superstitious beliefs, encouraging rational thinking. The mention of 'the devil' is used in a colloquial, non-threatening context consistent with the superstition theme. The imagery (broken mirror, ladder, 13-month-old baby) is entirely benign and culturally familiar. The overall message is actually positive and educational, warning listeners that believing in things you don't understand leads to suffering. This is appropriate content for all ages.
Very superstitious Writing's on the wall Very superstitious Ladder's 'bout to fall 13-month-old baby Broke the looking glass Seven years of bad luck The good things in your past When you believe in things That you don't understand Then you suffer Superstition ain't the way, yeah Ooh, very superstitious Wash your face and hands Rid me of the problem Do all that you can Keep me in a daydream Keep me going strong You don't want to save me Sad is my song When you believe in things You don't understand Then you suffer Superstition ain't the way, yeah Very superstitious Nothing more to say Very superstitious The devil's on his way 13-month-old baby Broke the looking glass Seven years of bad luck Good things in your past When you believe in things That you don't understand Then you suffer Superstition ain't the way No, no, no
