Lyric discussion by berserker 

Actually I heard that Dave said "['My Hero' is] my way of saying that when I was young, I didn't have big rock heroes, I didn't want to grow up and be some big sporting hero. My heroes were ordinary people and the people that I have a lot of respect for are just solid everyday people - people you can rely on."

Yes And That Is The Meaning. He Didn't Write It About Kurt Cobain At All He Wrote It About Just Ordinary Everyday People That Should Be Considered Hero's Not Sporting Athletes Or Full Time Pop Stars, Just Everyday people. And If You Ask Him Whether Its About Kurt He'll Go Ape And Tell You He Didn't.
