All My Heroes
Guided by Shadows: Exploring Life's Unconventional Heroes
Lyrics
Here I am awake in a wilderness of lies
Feeling awake in a world filled with deception and falsehoods.
Trying to assemble a suitable disguise
Attempting to create a disguise that fits, suggesting a need to hide or conform.
Bleary eyed and seeking a sign I recognize
Tired and searching for a familiar sign or symbol.
Someone I can count on to be there as my guide
Yearning for a reliable guide or support in life.
All my heroes were failures in their eyes
Admiring individuals who, despite societal judgment, were considered failures.
Losers, Drunkards, Fallen saints, and Suicides
Listing unconventional heroes: losers, drunkards, fallen saints, and suicides.
I feel a fever break underneath my skin
Experiencing a breakthrough or release of emotions beneath the surface.
The earth begins to shake, trees bending in the wind
Observing a tumultuous change in the environment, symbolized by shaking earth and bending trees.
The world is always changing It's changing in my sleep
Noticing the constant evolution of the world even during sleep.
For the first time I am praying for my soul to keep
Expressing a newfound inclination to pray for the preservation of one's soul.
All my heroes were rebels on the run
Acknowledging admiration for heroes who were rebels in their own ways.
Plagiarizers, Vagabonds, Vagrants every one
Highlighting unconventional heroes: plagiarizers, vagabonds, and vagrants.
But they lit fires in the shadows, all my heroes
Emphasizing the impact of these heroes who ignited change in the shadows.
Cut pathways through the narrows, all my heroes
Noting that heroes paved unconventional paths through challenges.
What am I to do, where am I to go?
Expressing uncertainty about the future and the challenges faced.
How am I to pay the debts that I still owe?
Pondering how to settle remaining debts.
How am i to shift and rise above the tide
Questioning how to overcome difficulties and rise above adversity.
How am I to live without them by my side?
Reflecting on the challenge of living without the influence of admired heroes.
All my heroes were smaller than they seemed
Realizing that heroes may be smaller or more human than perceived.
Malcontents, Dreamers, Ghosts in the machine
Identifying heroes as malcontents, dreamers, and ghosts in the machine.
But they lit fires in the shadows, all my heroes
Reiterating the transformative impact of heroes in the shadows.
Cut pathways through the narrows, all my heroes
Affirming that heroes create paths through challenges and difficulties.
