|
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust I've got my heart set on anywhere but here I'm staring down myself, counting up the years so the first verse is maybe he had a death of a friend or family member and he is coming to terms with how they spent there whole life in an ordinary way, so he looks over himself and sees how he hasnt done anything either, he wants to go places. otherwise he is thinking how he wanted to maybe move away from everyone but now he realizes he doesnt want to leave them. Steady hands just take the wheel Every glance is killing me Time to make one last appeal For the life I lead he talks to his hands, like he talks to his feet later, hes at the wake of the friend/ family member and thinks about taking "wheel" of his life. becoming the person he wants, a person who makes something of themselves. as he sits there at the stool of the casket "every glance kills him" and he needs to speak out and say something about them, because its the start of his new self. Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're here not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, you don't need he felt like he was living life fine. he was enjoying himself and thought he was "moving" when really he was going "nowhere". people get scared of doing something with themselves. maybe they will be too afraid to go on stage and do something. or too afraid to go to paris and become a world known chef. and he became a person that he cant live with being. a normal citizen. hes wondering why he didnt do things within his life that would have changed the outcome, and why he's here doing nothing and not there making something out of himself. he wants it so bad that its not fair that he cant change it, that he didnt think of it sooner. but all he really needs is a motivation. this is what i think... at first i thought it was a love song.. like you know. "stop and stare" because they caught your eye. but here is what i thought, thank you :p |

| Boys Like Girls – Hero/Heroine Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| i always thought (and still do) that it was "i keep a sinister smile and a hole in my heart.." not hold of my heart... makes more sense to me... because i feel like the song is about a guy who had a girl and now he lost her suddenly ("you caught me off guard") now hes going crazy and would do anything for her and just wants to go to her. (now im running and screaming) and he feels amazing when hes with her and things were great. (i feel like a hero, and youre my heroine) he was so sick of just going into relationships and them not being great, but when he was with her things were amazing (i was so jaded). and her love is the sweetest sin because it feels so right that he felt like there was something sinful. but really he just loved her entirely. theres no chance letting her get away, he already knows how incredible she is and theres no way he'll ever let her go (its too late baby theres no turning around). hes not going to try to explain everything with a long thought out answer on why she should take him back (i wont try to philosophize) hes just going to give it to her straight (ill take a deep breath and ill look in your eyes) he has had a long past of bad girlfriends and secrets (closet filled up to the brim... skeletons) and hes happy that she doesnt judge him for any of it.(dont know why you'd even try)... sorry i kinda jumped aroound the song a little, but thats how i read it, but thats also exactly whats going on in my life so thats what i want the song to be about. thanks :) | |
