No Hero
Unmasking Shadows: Showtigers' 'No Hero' Reveals the Bittersweet Dance of Life
Lyrics
You're no hero
You lack heroic qualities
Just tall enough to do no good
Your stature is just sufficient to avoid causing harm
You're no hero
You still don't embody heroism
And I know you'd have me if you could
Despite that, you would pursue a relationship with me if possible
I'm no widow
I am not a grieving widow
But I'll take a good time if he comes
But I am open to enjoying a good time if it presents itself
You're no hero
Reiterating that you lack heroic qualities
Come taste the lipstick on this rum
Inviting you to experience the remnants of passion through the taste of lipstick on a glass of rum
Why so alone?
Questioning why you are in solitude
Join me in my home
Inviting you to join in the speaker's abode
Nothing sweet survives
Asserting that nothing sweet or pleasant endures
Neither will I
Expressing a recognition that the speaker, too, won't endure
I find no fault in living so fast
Finding no fault in living a fast-paced life
I keep a similar theory intact
Maintaining a similar philosophy or mindset
Around a trigger-happy finger, I've been wrapped
Describing being entangled around a trigger-happy finger, possibly alluding to dangerous situations
So, I'll take my time, if you'll take it back
Willing to take time if it can be reversed or reclaimed
Oh, if you'll take it back
Repeating the willingness to reclaim lost time
Swaying, listlessly, dalliance to dalliance
Describing a swaying, aimless movement from one romantic involvement to another
She tells me my body's too thin
Being criticized for having a thin body
She's so accusing, though I've claimed no valiance
Facing false accusations, despite not claiming any bravery or courage
And that solipsistic lipstick burns my skin
The self-centered nature of lipstick leaves a burning mark on the speaker's skin
