Heroine
De Vision Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't you hear the thunder
Roaming through the skies
With every breath
Another piece of me dies tonight
We're heading for the eye of the storm
We keep each other warm
I'm not trying to cleanse myself
Of any sin I've gladly killed for you

My heroine
We keep on running
For the eye of the storm
And keep each other warm
Cause the night is my lover
Yeah tonight better run for cover
What lies ahead is quite clear to see
It spells disaster for you and me

We' re moving closer to the eye of the storm
We keep each other warm

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of De Vision's song Heroine are both haunting and poetic. The song is about a person who is addicted to another person, whom they refer to as their "heroine". The metaphor is effective because, like a drug, the person consumes the singer's thoughts and actions. The opening lines, "Can't you hear the thunder roaming through the skies?" set the tone for the song's ominous mood. The singer feels consumed by their obsession with this person, with each breath taking another piece of themselves away. The storm, perhaps a metaphor for the chaos of their emotions, is coming, and they both know that it will be destructive.

Despite the looming danger, the two characters keep on running into the eye of the storm together. They are addicted to each other in a way that they cannot control. The singer is not trying to cleanse themselves of any sin they have committed for their love interest. Instead, they have justified their actions to themselves because of their love. The line "the night is my lover, yeah tonight better run for cover" adds an ominous tone. The singer is warning the other person that they are dangerous and destructive, both to themselves and to others. The line "what lies ahead is quite clear to see" is a premonition of a disastrous ending. However, despite this, they are still moving towards the storm together, keeping each other warm.
