Hero
Embracing Redemption: Classic Jack's Tale of Heroes and Villains
Lyrics
What have I become
Reflecting on personal transformation or change.
We're all subjects and not victims
Viewing everyone as participants rather than victims.
To the circumstances that we're given down
Acknowledging the influence of circumstances.
I embraced mine like a prison
Accepting challenges or hardships as if they were a prison.
Wish I could've just learned some forgiveness now
Expressing a desire for forgiveness and redemption.
Next time the walls give out
Anticipating challenges when the walls collapse metaphorically.
Or sky comes falling down
Facing adversity, possibly a metaphorical falling sky.
I won't just stand around
Committing to proactive action rather than passivity.
Crush me with the weight of the world on my neck
Expressing the burden of overwhelming responsibilities.
Drown me with the waves designed to hold me back
Feeling constrained by obstacles preventing progress.
Every hero is a villain
Suggesting a duality in heroism and villainy.
In the eyes of all those
Highlighting the perception of heroes as villains by some.
He has stricken down
Referring to individuals affected or defeated by the hero.
Come with me
Inviting someone to join in a shared experience or journey.
No room for friends when trust is given among thieves
Emphasizing the difficulty of maintaining trust among thieves.
Sometimes the ones you love can do the fucked up things
Highlighting the capacity for loved ones to do harmful actions.
Don't let them push you pull suck you underneath
Encouraging resilience against negative influences.
I won't just stand around
Reiterating the commitment to proactive engagement.
Crush me with the weight of the world on my neck
Re-emphasizing the weight of overwhelming responsibilities.
Drown me with the waves designed to hold me back
Reinforcing the idea of being held back by challenging circumstances.
