Lyrics
Here comes the hero
Introducing the hero figure.
At temperature zero
The hero arrives in a situation of absolute coldness or indifference.
Warming his hands on the crowd
The hero seeks warmth or support from the crowd.
He says "now that I've changed
The hero claims a change but asserts that fundamentally they remain unchanged.
I'm exactly the same"
The cheering of the crowd drowns out this message of continuity.
But nobody hears 'cause the cheering's too loud
Hypocrisy on a massive scale
Highlighting the massive hypocrisy involved in the hero's actions.
Hero/cult/revolutionary
Commentary on hero worship, cult-like devotion, and revolutionary imagery.
It's all a show
Suggesting that the hero's actions are merely a spectacle.
But now we know
A realization that the true motives behind the hero's actions are now understood.
All they want is your money
The hero's primary interest lies in acquiring money.
Hero lost his conscience, yes
The hero has lost their moral compass.
But now he's getting serious
Despite the loss of conscience, the hero becomes more focused and determined.
"Forget the system, let's have fun"
Rejecting societal norms, advocating for enjoyment over adherence to the system.
Hero! Take the money and run!
Encouraging the hero to take advantage of the situation and flee with the money.
The heroes are forgotten now
Reflection on forgotten heroes, faded from memory.
Floundered on their reputation
Heroes have floundered due to the impact of their previous reputation.
The old elite
The established ruling class integrates itself back into society.
Came off the street
The elite class, originally from the streets, transforms into an institution.
And wound up as an institution
The next generation won't produce
Expectation that the upcoming generation won’t produce heroes or individuals driven by trends.
The heroes and the fashion freaks
There’s nothing groundbreaking in the behaviors of heroes or those fixated on fashion.
There's nothing new
No novelty in what people engage in; only dedication and personal convictions remain.
In what we do
Just commitment and beliefs
