Hero
Embracing Love's Trials: Jenn Grant's "Hero" Explained
Lyrics
When I am failing now, I just forget I let you go
Expressing the difficulty of facing failure and trying to forget the decision of letting someone go.
I'm losing track of all the places where we hit so low
Feeling disoriented and unable to keep track of the various low points in the relationship.
When I cry, baby I cry, I cry
Emphasizing the emotional pain by repeating the act of crying, suggesting a deep sense of sorrow.
And I'd be lying
Admitting that there might be deception or untruthfulness in the speaker's words or actions.
Just wanna dance with you so slow
Expressing a desire to share a slow dance, possibly as a form of intimacy and connection.
I call you like a river that runs right through
Comparing the act of calling the person to a river, possibly indicating the continuity and flow of emotions.
My hero keeps on running wild and fast
Referring to someone as a "hero" who continues to live life freely and boldly.
I feel my heavy heart beating one, beat two
Feeling the weight of a heavy heart, with the heartbeat serving as a rhythmic reminder of emotions.
Now what have we become, what are we gonna do?
Raising questions about the current state of the relationship and contemplating the future.
When we were young, yeah we were swimming on the ocean floor
Recalling a time of youth and carefree joy, symbolized by swimming on the ocean floor.
Into the black, into the blue, not afraid anymore
Moving into unknown and potentially challenging territories, facing fears without hesitation.
When I try, baby I try, I try
Expressing the effort to try and make things work despite challenges and uncertainties.
And I'd be lying
Repeating the acknowledgment of potential deception or falsehood in the speaker's actions or words.
Just want to dance with you so slow
Reiterating the desire for a slow dance, perhaps indicating a longing for closeness and connection.
I call you like a river that runs right through
Continuing the metaphor of the river, emphasizing the persistent and flowing nature of the relationship.
My hero keeps on running wild and fast
Reaffirming the person as a "hero" who continues to live life with freedom and speed.
I feel my heavy heart beating one, beat two
Sensing the heartbeat, suggesting a visceral and emotional response to the ongoing situation.
Now what have we become, what are we gonna do?
Posing a question about the present state of the relationship and contemplating the next steps.
