Lyrics
Won't you man up now and be a hero?
Encouragement to take responsibility and be courageous.
I never thought you would let me go
Surprise at the expectation of being let go.
All the voices keep torturing your head, head
Reference to internal struggles causing mental anguish.
You gotta quiet them, quiet them
Advising to silence the troubling thoughts.
I've come in peace, come to rescue you
Declaration of peaceful intentions and rescue.
And thought you're sick I will comfort you
Commitment to comfort despite illness.
My heart is weak
Expressing vulnerability of the heart.
When I'm not with you
Highlighting emotional dependence and longing.
We gotta make it through
Shared responsibility to overcome challenges.
You gotta live and learn and you've learned to bail
Encouragement to learn from experiences and not give up.
You live your life like you're stuck in hell
Observation of a life trapped in difficult circumstances.
And my only goal is to make you feel safe
Expressing a desire to provide a sense of security.
But like everything I do I fail
Acknowledgment of personal failure despite good intentions.
I've come in peace, come to rescue you
Reiteration of peaceful intent and offering support.
And thought you're sick I will comfort you
Reassurance during illness and challenging times.
My heart is weak
Reiteration of emotional vulnerability.
When I'm not with you
Emphasizing the impact of separation on emotions.
We gotta make it through
Joint commitment to overcoming difficulties together.
You were part of a dream
Recognition of a significant role in a dream-like experience.
And you made life more real, and you
Acknowledgment of adding meaning and reality to life.
Gave sense to my life too
Attribution of giving purpose to the speaker's life.
You gave sense to my life too
Repetition of the positive impact on life's meaning.
You were part of a dream
Reiteration of a dream-like connection and life's enrichment.
And you made life more real, and you
Acknowledgment of making life more real and meaningful.
Gave sense to my life too
Reaffirmation of providing purpose and sense to life.
You gave sense to my life too
Repetition of the positive impact on life's meaning.
Won't you man up now and be a hero?
Repeated plea for taking responsibility and being heroic.
Won't you man up now and be a hero?
-Won't you man up now and be a hero?
-Won't you man up now and be a hero?
