Hero Shot
Biting Hurricanes and Growing Debts: The Hero Shot Story
Lyrics
We sweep in
We are approaching.
On our hero
Our central figure or protagonist.
Hair perfect and teeth mean
Describing the hero's appearance with flawless hair and intimidating teeth.
I’m watching on a great big screen
Observer watching the hero on a large screen.
He’s all there in red, blue, green
The hero is vividly displayed in red, blue, and green.
And the rain’s coming down
Rain is falling.
Yeah the rain’s coming down tonight
Emphasizing the rain falling tonight.
Your hair is knotted and your eyes are mean
Description of someone's disheveled appearance and fierce gaze.
You’re in my window, it’s a great big screen
The observer sees this person on a large screen.
It’s getting ugly out there, you should come back inside
Suggesting the deteriorating situation outside and inviting the person to come inside.
But you’d rather bite a hurricane than be here by my side
Expressing a preference for facing challenges rather than being together.
And I know you’re a sycophant for Fade Awaays
Acknowledging someone's strong support for Fade Awaays.
And you’ll owe a debt to Growers for the rest of your days
Indicating a lifelong obligation to Growers due to previous actions.
You’re too slow to put together that I meant what I said
Commenting on someone's slow understanding of sincerity.
I told you not to let it all get to your head
A reminder not to let success get to one's head.
And it creeps in
A transition, introducing a new feeling.
Oh that feeling
Describing a sensation similar to a daily heart attack.
Like a heart attack once a day
Advising against creating a disturbance.
Try not to make a great big scene
Reiterating the vivid display of the situation in red, blue, and green.
But it’s all there in red, blue, green
The rain is still falling.
And the rain's coming down
Highlighting the continued rain tonight.
Yeah the rain's coming down tonight
A self-description of not being a dancer in the situation.
Yeah, I’m not a dancer if you know what I mean
Stating a lack of fighting skills but being effective in a team.
I’m not a fighter but I’m good in a team
Observing the worsening external conditions with no refuge.
It’s getting ugly out there and there’s nowhere to hide
Suggesting a final attempt to face the situation bravely.
And there’s nothing we can do but try to bite it one last time
Reiterating loyalty to Fade Awaays and an enduring debt to Growers.
And I know you’re a sycophant for Fade Awaays
Reemphasizing someone's slow comprehension of sincerity.
And you’ll owe a debt to Growers for the rest of your days
Restating the advice not to let success get to one's head.
You’re too slow to put together that I meant what I said
A repetition of the caution against arrogance.
I told you not to let it all get to your head now baby
A final reminder not to succumb to arrogance.
Ooh now baby
An exclamation or expression of concern.
And I know you’re a sycophant for Fade Awaays
Recapitulating loyalty to Fade Awaays and indebtedness to Growers.
And you’ll owe a debt to Growers for the rest of your days
Reiterating the warning against slow understanding of sincerity.
You’re too slow to put together that I meant what I said
A final repetition of the advice not to let success get to one's head.
I told you not to let it all get to your head
A final plea to avoid succumbing to arrogance.
