Heroes
Embracing Heroes: Life's Dance and Memories
Lyrics
Johnny let his baby brother sleep
Johnny allows his baby brother to sleep
Through the back door and baseball
Referencing entering discreetly, possibly implying a casual approach
All the kids are waiting outside
Kids eagerly wait outside
Old days come and go too soon
Reflection on the fleeting nature of old days
Old friends, heroes, lifetimes
Reflection on old friends and heroes over a lifetime
Don't let a single memory fade away
Encouragement to preserve memories
These are the days for heroes
Emphasis on the present as a time for heroes
Look at all the soul shaking life
Observation of impactful and soul-shaping experiences
Everybody turns hero this time
Suggesting a universal experience of heroism
Feels good to watch a big man dance
Pleasure derived from watching a confident person dance
There's a wide smile (wild smell?) on the hot street
Description of a lively street scene with a potential sensory element
Supper's over and the streets come alive
After dinner, the streets become vibrant and active
The band plays our favorite songs
Highlighting the enjoyment of favorite songs played by the band
Policeman, buy some ice cream
Observing a policeman buying ice cream
Sounds different when you hear 'Mister Freeze'
Reference to the altered perception when hearing "Mister Freeze"
Even the streets carry heroes
Even the streets embody heroism
Look at every soul shake its life
Recognition of heroism in every individual
These are the days of heroes, tonight!
Reiteration of the current era as the days of heroes
Laughter come on downtown window and see faces walking back
Observation of laughter from downtown windows and people returning
Tonight, everybody gonna remember, remember in time
Anticipation of collective memories being remembered
Brings peace to watch a baby smile
Peace found in witnessing a baby's smile
And the years come
Recognition of the passage of years
Bring us new ones
Hope for new experiences in the upcoming years
All that music waiting inside
Highlighting the waiting potential of music
No, everybody turns hero
Assertion that everyone becomes a hero
Look at all the soul shaking life
Emphasis on impactful and soul-shaping experiences for everyone
Everybody turns hero tonight!
Reiteration that everyone becomes a hero, especially tonight
Look at all the soul shaking life
Reiteration of the impact on everyone's life
Look at all the friend shaking life (?)
Unclear meaning, possibly a play on words
Everybody turns hero
Final affirmation that everyone becomes a hero
