All My Heroes Have Failed Me
Dead To Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a glance from the inside, it isn't what you think
This is it, this is everything I have
So between you and me, give up all fucking hope
I've got the answer, so save your fucking explanation
This is the last time I'll suffer through your exploitation
Harvest truth and save it for your revelation
All my heroes have failed me
And all your heroes will fail you
Give up hope, give up all fucking hope
Give up hope, give up all fucking hope
I don't care and I'm through hearing you justify
You've given up and I know you've fucking died inside
We've burned it all and everything it signifies
I've reached my breaking point and I finally realize
All my heroes have failed me
And all your heroes will fail you
All my heroes have failed me
And all your heroes will fucking fail you, fail me, fail you
Give up hope, give up hope
Give up hope, give up all fucking hope
I'm sick of trying and I'll never put my trust in you
No more heroes, no promise of something new
It's over now, there's no more damage that you can do
You're dead to me because me and you are finally through
All my heroes have failed me
And I have given up hope
This is the last time
I ever place my trust in someone else
And I have given up all fucking hope
The lyrics of Dead To Fall's song "All My Heroes Have Failed Me" express a feeling of disillusionment and disappointment with those who were once considered heroes or role models. The singer has lost faith in those individuals and the institutions they represent, and has reached their breaking point after realizing that they have been exploited and let down by these heroes. The chorus repeats the line "All my heroes have failed me, and all your heroes will fail you," highlighting the universality of this feeling of betrayal and loss of faith.
The opening lines of the song, "Up and out, I never regretted a thing, take a glance from the inside, it isn't what you think," suggest that the singer has moved on from their previous ideals and beliefs and now sees things from a different perspective. They have reached a point of clarity and acceptance, and are ready to give up hope and move on. The repeated refrain of "give up hope, give up all fucking hope" reinforces this sense of resignation and determination to let go of any remaining illusions.
The lyrics also express a certain degree of anger and frustration towards those who have let the singer down. The lines "I don't care and I'm through hearing you justify, you've given up and I know you've fucking died inside" suggest that the singer has lost patience with those who continue to make excuses or attempt to justify their failures. The final lines of the song, "I'm sick of trying and I'll never put my trust in you, no more heroes, no promise of something new," reflect a sense of finality and resolution - the singer has decided to move on and abandon any hope of finding heroes or role models in the future.
