I'm just a step away, I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
We're fallin' off the edge today
I am just a man, not superhuman
I'm not superhuman
Someone save me from the hate

It's just another war
Just another family torn
We're falling from my faith today
Just a step on the edge
Just another day in the world we live

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time

I've gotta fight today to live another day
Speakin' my mind today
My voice will be heard today
I've gotta make a stand, but I am just a man
I'm not superhuman
My voice will be heard today

It's just another war
Just another family torn
My voice will be heard today
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time

I need a hero to save my life
I need a hero just in time
Save me just in time
Save me just in time

Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives
And we're not ready to die
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero
I've got a hero
Livin' in me
I've gotta fight for what's right, today I'm speakin' my mind
And if it kills me tonight
I will be ready to die
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero
To save me now
I need a hero to save my life
A hero will save me
Just in time
I need a hero

Who's gonna fight for what's right, who's gonna help us survive?
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for the weak, who's gonna make 'em believe?
I need a hero
I need a hero
A hero's gonna save me just in time

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
