A Real Hero
Electric Youth College Lyrics

Real human being
Someone who is authentically themselves and not afraid to show their flaws

And a real hero
Someone who exhibits bravery and selflessness in the face of adversity

Back against the wall at odds
Facing a difficult challenge with very few options to overcome it

With the strength of a militant cause
Possessing the same level of determination and unwavering focus as someone fighting for a political or social movement

A pursuit some called outstanding
An endeavor that was widely recognized for its greatness and achievement

Or emotionally complex
A situation that was difficult to navigate due to the intricacies of human emotion and relationships

Against the grain of distopic claims
Going against what most people believe will happen in the future, which is usually bleak or negative

On the thoughts your actions entertained
The way you think and process information had a direct impact on the actions you took

And you have proved to be
Through your actions and decisions, you have demonstrated that you truly are

A pilot on a cold, cold morn'
A pilot who flew their plane on a frigid morning

One-hundred fifty-five people on board
A plane full of passengers who were all under the pilot's care and protection

All safe and all rescued
Despite the overwhelming odds against them, the pilot was able to get everyone out safely

From the slowly sinking ship
The plane was experiencing mechanical difficulties and was in danger of crashing or sinking

Water warmer than, his head so cool
The pilot was able to keep a level head and make rational decisions, even in the face of panic and fear

In that tight bind knew what to do
Despite being in a difficult and stressful situation, the pilot was able to come up with a clear plan of action
