Hero Lyrics

When I was a kid, I thought I'd save the world
Running 'round and chasing all the criminals
Swinging on a web, flying in the sky
Shooting lasers from my eyes
But now I know it never was my destiny
It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be
And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame
And I don't wanna wear this cape

'Cause on the inside (on the inside), I know it won't last
On the inside (on the inside), I'm an outcast

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down
They love you, then they hate you if you wear a crown
It's not that I don't love to solve a mystery
But life is hard enough with one identity
If silence is the voice of a new generation
Then I could live up to all of your expectations
I'd hammer down hard, like I'm Iron Fist
Then disappear like I don't exist

And on the inside (on the inside), I know it won't last
On the inside (on the inside), I'm an outcast

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
You know, I tried to be your hero, but I was lying to myself
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah

What is the Meaning of Hero?

Ever felt like the weight of the world was on your shoulders, only to realize you're just human after all? This song captures that exact sentiment. It tells the story of someone who once dreamed of being a superhero, saving the world and basking in glory. But as they grew older, they discovered that heroism isn't their path. They acknowledge that chasing fame and trying to meet others' expectations isn't fulfilling. Instead, they find solace in embracing their true self, even if it means walking alone. It's a powerful reminder that it's okay not to be everyone's hero—sometimes, simply being yourself is more than enough.
