Lyrics
You should never meet your heroes, cause they'll only let you down
Meeting your heroes is discouraged as they tend to disappoint.
They're not carrying the torch, they're just passing it around
Heroes are not actively promoting a cause but rather passing it on without true commitment.
You should never meet your heroes, cause they'll only let you down
Reiterating the warning against meeting heroes due to potential letdowns.
And it's whenever you need them, they won't be around
Heroes may be absent when needed the most.
The flames burn bright with vengeance, I'll feel the shame tomorrow
Feelings of regret for actions fueled by vengeance; anticipating shame in the future.
We've no time for reverence, in the days we've borrowed
There's no time for respect in the borrowed time we have.
Long live the kings and queens of modern philosophy
Honoring influential figures in modern philosophy.
Forgo the suits and ties, and forsake the other guys
Encouraging a rejection of formalities and alliances with certain individuals.
You should never meet your heroes, cause they'll only let you down
Repetition of the cautionary advice regarding meeting heroes.
They're not carrying the torch, they're just passing it around
Emphasizing that heroes are not actively championing a cause but merely passing it along.
You should never meet your heroes, cause they'll only let you down
Warning against potential disappointment from meeting heroes.
And it's whenever you need them, they won't be around
Highlighting the unavailability of heroes in times of need.
In plain sight, it's rendered, no chance of surrender
Things are evident and cannot be ignored, with no room for surrender.
Dreams are made and broken, with each new word that's spoken
Emphasizing the impact of words in shaping and breaking dreams.
Masses that congregate, to upheave the magistrate
A gathering of people to challenge authority figures.
Glory to be so bold, as stories that are untold
Glory is found in being bold and telling untold stories.
You should never meet your heroes, cause they'll only let you down
Reiteration of the warning about potential letdowns from meeting heroes.
They're not carrying the torch, they're just passing it around
Heroes are not actively promoting a cause but passing it around.
You should never meet your heroes, cause they'll only let you down
Repeat of the advice against meeting heroes due to potential disappointment.
And it's whenever you need them, they won't be around
Reiterating the unavailability of heroes when needed.
