Temporary Heroes
Ephemeral Struggles: Pat Benatar's Temporary Heroes Unveiled
Lyrics
I've seen all the downfalls
I've seen various failures and setbacks.
Temporary Heroes (Whoa)
People who are temporarily idolized or admired but lack permanence.
Misguided direction
Confused or mistaken guidance.
Longing for perfection (Whoa)
A desire for flawlessness or excellence that may not be achievable.
Love and pain
Emotional experiences encompassing both affection and suffering.
Only for the foolish
These experiences are pursued or felt by those who act foolishly.
Once again
A recurring situation.
Try to hide what's there inside
Attempting to conceal one's true feelings or thoughts.
I'm the same, Temporary Hero
Identifying oneself as someone who is admired temporarily but not permanently.
Who's to blame
Questioning responsibility or fault.
Rituals and movements
Routines and actions undertaken prematurely.
Much too soon improvements
Attempts at progress made too early.
Hide many scars)
Concealing many emotional wounds or hurts.
Others and ours
Emotional scars experienced by oneself and others.
Too late to discover
Realizing too late that pure, unblemished love exists.
This untainted love is
That love is fated to become a sorrowful memory.
Destined to be)
A sad memory
-Love and pain
Love and pain are emotions felt only by those who act unwisely.
Only for the foolish
Repetition of the pattern of emotions.
Once again
Try to hide what's there inside
Struggling to conceal inner emotions or thoughts.
I'm the same, Temporary Hero
Recognizing oneself as a temporary figure of admiration.
Who's to blame
Asking about accountability or culpability.
So you take your chances
Taking risks while being cautious of others' reactions.
Watchful of the glances
Observant of others' expressions or glances.
But don't turn away
Not avoiding a situation despite emotional wounds.
Though the wounds are healing
Even as the wounds heal, the feelings associated might have changed.
Don't tell me the feelings the same
Love and pain
Love and pain felt by those who act without wisdom.
Only for the foolish
Repetition of emotional experiences due to actions taken.
Once again
Try to hide what's there inside
Struggling to hide internal emotions or thoughts.
I'm the same, Temporary Hero
Self-identification as a temporary admired figure.
Who's to blame
Questioning responsibility or fault again.
