Hércules
Chasing Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
id run after you for days
but the pain is just too real
you're my Achilles heel
You're no Hercules
strong enough to hold open
my heart is just too weak
And you chose
to wear your wings inside
you're no angel of mine
you're no angel of mine
Bur if you stay, than we can make history
Well you're no hephradite
when fall ...
bring the fight to me
cause you're no hephradite
And we flew too close to the sun
oh the temperature was raising
but i thought it would be fun
we flew too close to the sun
And you chose
to wear your wings inside
you're no angel of mine
you're no angel of mine
Bur if you stay, than wecan make history
and if you wait, than wecan make history
if you wait we can make history
and if you wait than we can make history
In Chasing Grace's song Hercules, the singer compares their love interest to two powerful mythological figures: Achilles and Hercules. The first stanza describes their love interest as the singer's Achilles heel, meaning that they are their weak spot. The singer is willing to chase after them continuously but ultimately feels that the pain of their love is too much to bear. The second stanza goes on to compare their love interest to Hercules, emphasizing that they are not strong enough to open the singer's heart which is inherently weak.
The following stanza mentions the Greek god, Hephraestus, who was known for his blacksmith abilities and considered to be not as beautiful as the other gods. The singer emphasizes that their love interest is not beautiful and not capable of fighting their battles for them. The final stanza speaks about how they flew too close to the sun, which is a reference to Icarus in Greek mythology. Icarus attempted to fly too close to the sun and his wings melted, causing him to fall to his death. The singer acknowledges that they too have taken a risk with their love interest, even though they knew the potential consequences.
The chorus emphasizes that even though their love interest is not perfect or powerful like the mythological characters they were compared to, if they stay in the relationship together, they have the potential to make history. Overall, the song explores the idea that even though love can be painful and risky, it can also make a lasting impact if both parties are committed to making it work.

You're my Achilles heel
You are the one weakness I have that I would still chase after for days, even though it causes me great pain
id run after you for days
I would pursue you tirelessly
but the pain is just too real
However, the hurt and suffering is just overwhelming
you're no Hercules
You are not the strong, heroic figure I once believed you to be
strong enough to hold open
Strong enough to keep my heart open and vulnerable
my heart is just too weak
My heart cannot handle the pain and heartbreak you have caused me
you're no Hercules
You cannot save me from my pain or protect me as I had hoped
And you chose
You made a decision
to wear your wings inside
To keep your true nature hidden and not let your inner self shine through
you're no angel of mine
You are not the perfect, heavenly partner I had pictured you to be
Bur if you stay, than we can make history
However, if you decide to remain with me, we can create a strong and memorable future together
Well you're no hephradite
You are not the invincible, untouchable god I hoped you would be
when fall ... bring the fight to me
When things get tough and we start to struggle, you need to be able to put up a fight
cause you're no hephradite
Because you cannot rely on your god-like powers to save us
And we flew too close to the sun
We ventured too far into the unknown and now face the consequences of our choices
oh the temperature was raising
Things were becoming more and more intense and heated
but i thought it would be fun
But I believed that taking risks and breaking boundaries would be exciting and worth it
Bur if you stay, than wecan make history
However, if you decide to stay with me, we can still create something legendary together
and if you wait, than wecan make history
And if we can hold out and be patient, we still have the potential to make something great
if you wait we can make history
If we can remain steadfast and endure, we can achieve greatness together
and if you wait than we can make history
If we can hang on and not give up, we still have the potential to make something incredible together

FFS.... I've been liking all your videos and you still manage to surprise. That is beautiful. I could say great guitar work and all that but the real beauty, imho, is in the coherence of it all. It just fits. Thank you.
