Heroes
All Time Low牯 Lyrics

Not gonna miss you when you're dead and gone
I won't regret not having you in my life once you're gone.

Not gonna talk about you over and over and over
I won't dwell on you or give you excessive attention.

Not gonna find you under latest nostalgia, not happily ever after
I won't look back on our time together with fondness or longing.

Not gonna listen 'til you play that song (play that song)
I will only pay attention to you under certain conditions or circumstances.

Don't wanna think about you over and over and over
I don't want you to consume my thoughts.

Not gonna read about the latest fads on your trendy blog
I have no interest in your superficial or fleeting interests.

I want nothin' to do with that
I want to distance myself from you and anything associated with you.

'Cause you've made a mess of everything
You've caused chaos and destruction in our relationship.

(And I'm not listening)
I'm actively choosing to not pay attention to you.

You're not a hero, you're a liar
You're not a role model or admirable figure, you're dishonest.

You're not a savior, you're a vampire
You're not rescuing anyone, you're actually draining them of their energy and vitality.

Sucking the life out of all the friends you've ever known
You drain those around you emotionally and mentally.

You're just a train wreck, not a winner
You're unstable and not achieving success or winning anything.

Up on your soap box preaching down to the sinners
You're speaking down to those who you deem inferior or wrong in some way.

The saints without a cause, we're not listening, we're not listening
Those who try to present themselves as morally superior are not gaining our attention or respect.

I'm gonna a start a revolution
I'm going to initiate a major change or movement.

Of convoluted disillusion (Start a revolution)
The change I initiate will have complex and unclear goals or outcomes.

I'll need a war with no conclusion
I'll require a long-lasting conflict with no clear resolution or end in sight.

And in the final hour I'll be a confident coward
I will have a strong sense of fear and self-preservation during the most critical part of this change I'm initiating.

'Cause if we stand for nothing, we'll fall for anything
If we don't have a clear vision or principles, we'll be susceptible to all sorts of negative influences or outcomes.

Now this is moving in the same direction
We're still pursuing the same goals despite setbacks or obstacles.

But I'm a little too spent to care
I'm feeling drained or worn out and losing motivation or interest in the pursuit of these goals.

'Cause it's a battlefield 'til it blows over
This change I'm trying to initiate will be a long and difficult struggle until it's resolved.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer
It's important to be aware of both those who support and those who oppose you.

The time is now 'til we live and pass out, singin'
We need to maximize the time we have to achieve our goals and celebrate our successes.

We talk shit like it's a cross to bare
We complain or criticize as if it's a heavy burden to bear.

You're only relevant 'til you get older
You only have significance or relevance until you age and become less influential or important.

They're gonna miss me when I'm dead and gone
Those who ignored or underestimated me will regret not valuing me more when I'm gone.

They're gonna talk about me over and over and over
The impact I made or the legacy I left behind will be discussed extensively.

But I'm not a hero, I'm a liar
I'm not a person to be looked up to or admired, I'm deceptive.

I'm not a savior, I'm a vampire
I'm not helping anyone, I'm actually taking from them.

Sucking the life out of all the friends I've ever known
I drain those around me emotionally and mentally.

We're a train wreck, not winners
As a group, we're unstable and not achieving success or winning anything.

On a soap box preaching down to the sinners
We're speaking down to those who we deem inferior or wrong in some way.

The saints without a cause, we're not listening, we're not listening
Those who try to present themselves as morally superior are not gaining our attention or respect.
