Lyrics

Give me the easiest thing I can do

Expressing a desire for a task that is easy to accomplish

Let me blank it from my mind

Wanting to erase or forget the task from one's thoughts

Tell me the easiest thing I can do

Asking for another simple task to undertake

Let me blank it from my mind

Desiring to remove the new task from the mind


The world seems so small

Reflecting on the perceived smallness of the world

The sooner you realise it

Emphasizing the importance of realizing the smallness of the world

As people we are so small

Acknowledging human insignificance in the grand scheme of things

I know you've realised it

Noting that others have also come to this realization


It might be a good thing if there were no heroes

Suggesting that a world without heroes could be positive

I can't take heroes

Expressing a personal difficulty in dealing with heroes

It might be a good thing if we had no heroes

Reiterating the potential benefits of a hero-less world

There are no heroes

Asserting the absence of heroes in the current reality


Teach me the easiest thing I can do

Seeking to learn another easy task to perform

Let me blank it from my mind

Wishing to eliminate the new task from memory

I'll gather up all my remaining education

Referring to the gathering of remaining knowledge and discarding it mentally

And blank it from my mind

Expressing a desire to forget the accumulated education


The world seems so small

Repeating the perception of the world's smallness

The sooner you realise it

Reiterating the importance of realizing the world's small size

As people we are so small

Acknowledging human insignificance as a common realization

I know you've realised it

Affirming that others have also recognized human smallness


It might be a good thing if there were no heroes

Positing the potential advantages of a hero-less existence

I can't take heroes

Expressing personal difficulty in accepting heroes

It might be a good thing if we have no heroes

Reiterating the potential benefits of a world without heroes

There are no heroes

Affirming the absence of heroes in the current reality


So why do you always hinder me?

Pondering why there is constant obstruction or resistance


Why do you always hinder me?

Expressing a sense of being lost, with time passing by

I'm lost, another mo' passed

Acknowledging a lack of need for reminders in the current situation

There's no need to remind me

Conveying a feeling of not requiring additional reminders
