Nobody
Black Veil Brides Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll die if I had
Inside me there's a fire
That burns, woah

My life begins and
Ends without the fate
That we learned, woah
Save me from the darkest places
Save me from myself

I'm a loaded gun
An only son
But I'm nobody's hero

I've come undone
I'm on the run
Yeah, I'm nobody's hero
Nobody's hero

(Nobody's hero)

To heal, your scars
I will give you everything I can, whoa
This war of hearts
We will rise again and take a stand, whoa

I can't lead you to salvation
I am just a man

I'm a loaded gun
An only son
But I'm nobody's hero

I've come undone
I'm on the run
Yeah, I'm nobody's hero
Nobody's hero

(Nobody's hero)

This moment is close?
Guess you're happy to exist
We feel the loss
Of the lives that left to rest

(Come on)

I'm a loaded gun
An only son
But I'm nobody's hero

I've come undone
I'm on the run
Yeah, I'm nobody's hero
Nobody's hero

I'm loaded gun
An only son
And I'm nobody's hero

I've come undone
I'm on the run
Yeah, I'm nobody's hero
Nobody's hero

(Nobody's hero)





I'm nobody's hero

Overall Meaning

The song "Nobody's Hero" by Black Veil Brides is a powerful and emotional track that explores themes of self-doubt, redemption, and the struggle to find purpose in one's life. The first verse acknowledges an intense inner fire that drives the singer, but also acknowledges the fear that this fire may consume them completely. The chorus reveals that the singer feels like they are not living up to anyone's expectations, not even their own, and they cannot be seen as a "hero" because they are "loaded" and "undone."


The second verse shifts to a more positive message of hope and healing, as the singer offers to do everything they can to help someone else heal their scars. However, they also acknowledge that they cannot bring salvation to anyone and that they are just a flawed human being. The bridge of the song reflects on the fleeting nature of life and the pain of losing loved ones, while the final chorus reaffirms the idea that the singer is nobody's hero, but they are still trying to find their place in the world.


Overall, "Nobody's Hero" is a deeply personal and introspective song that encourages listeners to embrace their flaws and imperfections. It is a reminder that being a hero is not about being perfect or infallible, but about striving to do the best you can in spite of your weaknesses and limitations.
