No More Heroes
Unmasking Humanity's Dark Reflections
Lyrics
The hivemind
The collective consciousness or shared mentality
Is watching
Being observed or monitored
Judgement is
Justice or punishment is imminent
Forthcoming
Approaching or coming soon
We know we're awful
Acknowledging one's own negative qualities
No more heroes
A rejection of traditional heroic figures or ideals
The balance
The equilibrium or stability in your existence
Of your life
Determined or influenced by external forces
Decided
Conclusively settled or resolved
By others
Shaped by the opinions or judgments of others
What have we become
Reflection on the current state of being
No more heroes
A repetition of rejecting conventional heroism
We think we're
Believing to have all-encompassing knowledge
Omniscient
Perceiving oneself as all-knowing
But really, we don't know shit
Admitting a lack of true understanding
Believe our own hype
Acceptance and promotion of one's own exaggerated fame
No more heroes
Reiterating the absence of traditional heroic figures
Defined by what we don't like
Defined by what is disliked or opposed
Blind hatred sings to me
Hatred without clear reason or understanding
See the worst in us
Recognizing the negative aspects within ourselves
Now demanding death to all
Advocating for the death of certain individuals
The priest who thousands follow has a thing for kids
Criticizing a religious figure involved in misconduct
Famous vegetarian caught feasting on meat
Highlighting hypocrisy in moral choices
The country that I'm proud of committed genocide
Expressing shame for historical atrocities
My friendly retired neighbor is into white pride
Discovering unpleasant truths about a neighbor
Epic Rockstar talents, beating on their wives
Critiquing abusive behavior within the entertainment industry
Source of my inspiration, taking his own life
Reflecting on the impact of a troubled inspiration
Born again straight edge, shooting up the smack
Criticizing individuals who betray their principles
Hero on the sportsfield, caught berating blacks
Denouncing a sports hero for racial discrimination
We are total shit and there are
A blunt self-assessment of humanity
No More Heroes
A firm declaration that there are no more heroic figures
Why would there ever be
Raising a rhetorical question about the possibility of heroes
Flawed
Acknowledging imperfections or shortcomings
Don't save us
An appeal not to rescue or redeem
No More Heroes
Reiterating the absence of heroic figures
Prejudice, abhorrence
Expressing strong dislike or hatred
The mask has been ripped off
The facade of civility has been removed
Somebody has to pay
A call for accountability or punishment
Technological year zero
A reset or restart in technological advancements
Murder everything we worship
Destroying everything that is revered or worshipped
We know everything about everyone
Claiming omniscience in knowledge about everyone
Stepping on our toes, poking in our lives, making calls
Resenting intrusion into personal lives
Assume everything, know nothing
Assuming without actual understanding
Prejudice advertise, we don't care
Indifference to prejudiced advertising
We know everything about everyone
Repeating the claim of knowing everything about everyone
I could live with it if you were as bad as me
Acceptance of faults if others are equally flawed
But you're not - you're worse
Comparing faults and recognizing someone else as worse
Oh god you're so much worse
An exclamation of the perceived greater wrongdoing of others
