Throw Away Heroes
Disposable Legends: Unveiling the Struggle in Throw Away Heroes
Lyrics
Ten to one and then it's over
There's a slim chance, and then it's finished
Executives are taking turns
Corporate figures are taking their opportunities one after the other
Options lost in dirty water
Possibilities lost in a corrupted environment
Got a whole lot left to give but still you're burned
Despite having a lot to offer, you're still hurt or disregarded
No one ever said it'd be easy
No one promised this would be simple
Got it made got to be the one
Seems like you've achieved success, but it's fleeting
Feels so good but then it's gone
Feels great temporarily, but then it's lost
Throwaway heroes
People who are easily discarded or undervalued
Disposable smiles
Smiles and personas that are disposable or easily replaced
Keep track of pats on your back
Keeping count of compliments or recognition
In all out style
Presenting oneself in a grand manner
Time to move replace the burden
Time to move on, pass the responsibility to another
Pass the gloves onto some other hands
Passing the control or power to someone else
Who's that dude I never heard of
A person unfamiliar to you has gained attention or importance
Well he's left the building but he was the shit, he was the man
Although now gone, they were incredibly important or skilled
No one ever said it'd be easy
Similar to line 6, reiterating the lack of guaranteed ease
Got it made got to be the one
Appears successful but temporary
Feels so good but then it's gone
Feels great briefly, then fades away
Throwaway heroes
Repetition of the earlier description of undervalued individuals
Disposable smiles
Reiteration of disposable personas and expressions
Keep track of pats on your back
Tracking the acknowledgments or validations received
In all out style
Presenting oneself in a manner that seeks full attention
Throwaway heroes
Repetition of the description of easily discarded individuals
Expendable beats
Perceived as replaceable or easily substituted
From god to geek
From someone of utmost importance to someone of lesser significance
Now someone else is in your seat
Someone else has taken over your position or role
Throwaway heroes
Recapitulation of individuals seen as dispensable or easily replaced
Disposable smiles
Reiteration of disposable smiles and personas
Keep track of pats on your back
Keeping tabs on the recognition or acknowledgments received
In all out style
Presenting oneself in a grandiose manner seeking full attention
Throwaway heroes
Repetition of the theme of easily disposable individuals
Expendable beats
Seen as expendable or easily substituted
From god to geek
From someone of divine importance to someone less esteemed
Now someone else is in your seat
Someone else has taken over your position or role
