Heroes Die
Eternal Echoes: Unraveling Life's Threads in 'Heroes Die'
Lyrics
Maybe you're a tree who's leaves stay
Uncertainty about someone's nature, possibly comparing them to a tree with constant leaves.
Or maybe you go where the wind blows
Acknowledging unpredictability, suggesting the person goes with the flow.
All I know is I'm right either way
Expressing self-confidence regardless of the outcome.
Every word you spoke was subtle
Noteworthy words spoken subtly, avoiding direct confrontation.
So I never gave you one rebuttal
Choosing not to argue or counter due to the subtlety of the words.
Because somehow I knew you
Intuition or understanding that the person meant what they said.
Meant what you said.
Acknowledging sincerity in the person's words.
It's like I spoke to you,
Feeling a mutual connection through communication.
It's like you spoke to me
Highlighting a reciprocal exchange of words, emphasizing connection.
You know we need each other
Emphasizing the mutual need for each other.
These things we built could last forever.
Belief in the enduring quality of the things built together.
Sometimes we watch our heroes die
Reflection on witnessing admired figures pass away without understanding.
And we don't know why
Expressing confusion and lack of understanding about the reasons behind heroes' deaths.
We don't know why they
Continuing the theme of not knowing why heroes leave prematurely.
Left us so young
Reflecting on the untimely departure of heroes and the impact on those left behind.
Sometime we watch our mirrors cry
Observing the emotional turmoil reflected in one's own image without clear reasons.
And we don't know why
Expressing confusion about the reasons behind the emotional turmoil in the mirror.
We don't know why they
Continuing the uncertainty about why one feels undone when looking in the mirror.
Left us undone
Reflecting on feeling incomplete or broken without understanding why.
I've learned that I can live without you
Realization of self-sufficiency and the ability to live without the person mentioned.
I've learned that there are things about you
Acknowledging awareness of certain aspects of the person despite choosing to ignore them.
Which I knew
Recognition of knowledge about the person that was consciously retained.
Which I chose to hold in
Choosing to keep certain information or feelings hidden.
I've seen your eyes when they're glassed over
Observing the person's eyes in a vulnerable state, possibly due to struggles.
Your charcoaled lungs… Malignant fire
Describing physical and metaphorical challenges faced by the person.
Desire keeps us holding on tight.
Highlighting the powerful force of desire as a motivator to endure difficulties.
I am now everything good that you did
Transformation into a positive embodiment of the person's good deeds.
I'm tossing out all of the things you kept hid
Discarding hidden aspects of the person, possibly negative traits or secrets.
Like the scars on your knuckles
Revealing physical signs of past struggles or conflicts.
The way that you chuckled…
Recalling a specific characteristic, the person's laughter, associated with certain situations.
When the bottle made way for it
Connecting a specific memory involving a bottle and the person's reaction.
