When Heroes Fall
When Heroes Fall: Navigating Life's Trials and Triumphs
Lyrics
Life can be the hardest road
Life can be challenging and difficult.
When you’ve got it altogether
Even when everything seems to be in order and going well.
Then something let’s go
Suddenly, something goes wrong or falls apart.
And everything that you believed in
All the things you had faith in or trusted collapse.
Comes tumbling down
Your world crumbles and falls apart.
One day you’re flying
At one moment, you feel on top of the world.
The next you’ve hit the ground
The next moment, you experience a sudden and harsh setback.
Like a shooting star or a dragonfly
Comparing life's unpredictability to a shooting star or dragonfly.
Like a firework lighting up the sky
Metaphorically describing life's unpredictability like a firework.
There’s a blinding light, then your whole world stalls
A sudden and blinding event that brings everything to a halt.
That’s what it’s like when your heroes fall
Describing the experience of witnessing the downfall of one's heroes.
Years teach us a lot of things
Accumulated experiences over the years teach important lessons.
They treat us all the same
Time treats everyone equally, regardless of status.
Whether we’re paupers or kings
Whether rich or poor, time affects everyone similarly.
And time it takes no prisoners
Time is relentless and doesn't spare anyone.
And it levels the ground
It brings everyone to the same level.
And there’s no high or mighty
No one, regardless of status, can escape the impact of time.
And no hiding found
There's no place to hide from the effects of time.
And you feel like a bottle
Feeling small and vulnerable, like a message in a bottle in a vast sea.
In an ocean swell
The message (hope or belief) is painful in its impact.
With a message of heaven that hurts like hell
Yearning for a positive change, like being thrown onto the shore.
And you long for a wave
Longing for a transformative experience or opportunity.
To throw you onto the shore
Desiring a moment of relief or resolution.
You want to throw it all in
Contemplating giving up, but holding onto hope for something more.
But you hope that there’s more
Despite the hardships, maintaining hope for a better future.
