No Heroes
Unmasking False Icons: No Heroes by Hi-STANDARD
Lyrics
Used to trust in you
Loss of trust in someone previously trusted
Used to see the world in you
Previously saw the world through that person
Nothing's what you gave to me
Received nothing substantial from that person
Nothing in return
No reciprocity in the relationship
What's your purpose? I wonder
Questioning the true motives or intentions of the person
What's inside you? No one can see
Unrevealed aspects or motives within the person
You'll do anything to get
Willing to do anything for wealth and fame
More money and fame
Driven by materialistic desires
Now it's clear to me
Realization of the disappearance of an illusion
The illusion fades away
Seeing through false perceptions
I don't need no fucked up heroes like you
Rejecting flawed and deceptive figures as role models
No heroes
Explicit denial of heroes
Puff your chest in pride
Displaying arrogance and pride
Bow your head and cry in shame
Experiencing shame and regret
Teeter on the high wire
Struggling and wavering
Stumble in the race (no)
Struggling or failing in competition
All you promised is empty
Empty promises made
All your credit you don't deserve
Unworthy of the recognition received
Can't see what's false or true?
Difficulty distinguishing truth from falsehood
Your head's up your ass
Being oblivious to reality
Now it's clear to me
Realization of someone's lack of authenticity
You are just a wanna-be
Identifying someone as an imitator or pretender
Used up heroes, don't do much for me
Disappointment in depleted idols
No heroes
Reiterating the absence of heroes
No heroes
Emphatic denial of heroes
No more made up stars
No more manufactured or fictionalized stars
No heroes
Rejection of heroes
I won't be a fucked up hero like you
Refusal to become a flawed hero like the mentioned individual
No heroes
Reiterating the absence of heroes
No heroes
Continued denial of heroes
No heroes
Repeated rejection of heroes
No more made up stars
No more manufactured or fictionalized stars
No heroes
Final statement rejecting heroes
