Lyrics
It's true
Expressing acknowledgment or agreement
You're lazy
Describing the person as lacking motivation or effort
You're tired
Indicating fatigue or exhaustion
And crazy
Suggesting mental instability or eccentricity
And you know there's something more
Awareness of an unfulfilled desire or purpose
But you can't give it a name
Struggling to identify or define a longing
Someone's selling all your heroes
Observing the commercialization or loss of admired figures
And they seem so tame
Perceiving the diminished impact or significance of heroes
You heard it all before
Previous exposure to similar experiences or information
And said your case was tragic
Characterizing personal circumstances as sorrowful
You heard it all before
Reiteration of past encounters with comparable situations
And now they say it's magic
Transformation or elevation of perception, possibly metaphorical
You need
Requirement for a break or respite
Time off
Indication of a permanent change in behavior
For good
Emphasizing the need for positive conduct
Behavior
Implying the existence of another aspect or solution
And you know there's something else
Struggling to articulate an unidentified feeling or goal
But you can't give a name
Similar to line 6, difficulty in naming or defining
Someone's selling all your heroes
Reiteration of the loss or commercialization of admired figures
And it seems such a shame
Expressing regret or disappointment
You heard it all before
Repeated experience of hearing and acknowledging
You said your case was tragic
Reiteration of personal circumstances as sorrowful
You heard it all before
Recurrence of hearing and elevating the perception
And now they say it's magic
Transformation or elevation of perception, possibly metaphorical
You heard it all before
Repetition of past encounters with comparable situations
They said your case was tragic
Restating personal circumstances as sorrowful
You heard it all before
Reiteration of previous experiences or information
And now they say it's magic
Final transformation or elevation of perception, possibly metaphorical
