My Hero
Rising from Shadows: Embracing Imperfections in 'My Hero' by Gus Thompson
Lyrics
I'll admit that I've been feeling
I've been experiencing certain emotions
Like I might let you down again
I fear the possibility of disappointing you again
These kind of thoughts could hurt my healing
These thoughts might hinder my recovery
But I still get them now and then
Despite efforts, these thoughts still occur occasionally
It's when I look up at the ceiling
Observing the ceiling, I sense a collapse or breakdown
See the roof is caving in
The structure above me seems to be falling apart
I wish that I could give a reason
Wishing I could provide an explanation
But I don't know where to begin
Uncertain of where to start explaining
All my good
Referring to all my positive qualities
All my bad
Referring to all my negative qualities
And what I've been through
Describing the experiences I've been through
Suddenly becoming zero
Suddenly, everything I've been through loses significance
For what it's worth
Expressing acknowledgment of my actions
I didn't think you'd be that sad
Surprised by the depth of your sadness
But how could I let down my hero?
Struggling with the idea of disappointing someone I admire
Thanks to you now I'm not hollow
Because of you, I now feel complete
(Hollow)
A sense of emptiness or hollowness is gone
Gave unto me a beating heart
You gave me a lively and active heart
Cause after all you held my sorrow
You held and shared my pain and sorrow
(Sorrow)
Expressing sorrow or regret
Like I should've from the start
Realizing I should have acted differently from the beginning
All my good
Recapitulating my positive qualities
All my bad
Recapitulating my negative qualities
And what I've been through
Reviewing the experiences I've been through
Suddenly becoming zero
Suddenly, everything I've been through loses significance again
For what it's worth
Reiterating acknowledgment of my actions
I didn't think you'd be that sad
Surprised by the depth of your sadness once more
But how could I let down my hero?
Struggling with the idea of disappointing someone I admire once more
