Too alarmin' now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out?
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Kudos, my hero, leavin' all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

    General Comment:I think this song is about a girl who is disappointed in her hero. like 'Take your pictures down, and shake it out'. I think this is about a girl disappointed in her hero, and now it turns out that, that person is just some ordinary person.

    General Comment:I really don't think this song is meant to be literal. I think it's about a relationship ending..or almost ending..and one of them is still completely in love with the other one.
    the "Too alarming now to talk it out" just makes it sound more like a break up than about a hero..

    General Comment:I haven't heard the original song but I think the Foo Fighters are cool. I like Paramore though and I like the lyrics and Hayley's vocals in this song. I think this song has a lot of meaning.. And the title can easily describe that this song is about a hero you have that is ordinary like you, but you still look up to them.

    General Comment:First of all, why do people come on here, and talk about how much they hate a song? Why don't you just go talk about a song you do like? And second, as much as I like this cover, abi4eva, there is no way this cover is better than the original. But, don't get me wrong, I really do like this version, and hayley has a great voice

    General Comment:well... I don't know what the Foo Fighters meant.

    But I hear this song and think about Jesus. Can't help it... he's my only hero and he appears quite ordinary.
