Five O'Clock Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nothing that I really want
But the times I find myself in the fire
You choose between the right and the wrong
I wish I could control all my judgements
Understand every move
Take my mind and all of it's voices
Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in your head
And I wonder (who d'you think you're talking to)
One day I'll move get away
From these feelings getting stronger (who d'you think you're talking to)
Sometimes I feel like it's not so fun
To see what's under (who d'you think you're talking to)
Let me out let me out
I don't think I can stand it any longer (who d'you think you're talking to)
I remember being part of that era
I remember being so far from home
All the times I needed someone to hear me
Cos I've never felt so much on my own
All the trouble that you have with your future
All the rules that make your life so secure
There are people who will give their opinions
But tell me what do they know
Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in your head
And I wonder (who d'you think you're talking to)
One day I'll move get away
From these feelings getting stronger (who d'you think you're talking to)
Sometimes I feel like it's not so fun
To see what's under (who d'you think you're talking to)
Let me out let me out
I don't think I can stand it any longer (who d'you think you're talking to)
Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in your head
And I wonder (who d'you think you're talking to)
One day I'll move get away
From these feelings getting stronger (who d'you think you're talking to)
Sometimes I feel like it's not so fun
To see what's under (who d'you think you're talking to)
Let me out let me out
I don't think I can stand it any longer (who d'you think you're talking to)
Who d'you think you're talking to
Who d'you think you're talking to
Who d'you think you're talking to
In the song "Who" by Five O'Clock Heroes, the lyrics talk about feeling stuck and conflicted between right and wrong. The singer wishes they could control their judgments and understand every move they make. They remember being alone and needing someone to hear them, but also recognize that people giving opinions may not truly know what they're talking about. The chorus repeats the phrase "who d'you think you're talking to," indicating a frustration with being misunderstood or not listened to.
The line "sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in your head" can suggest feeling trapped in someone else's thoughts or expectations, leading to a sense of helplessness. The repeated "who d'you think you're talking to" refrain can be interpreted as a call for validation or a challenge to the listener to truly understand the singer's perspective.
Overall, the song captures the difficulty of navigating personal struggles and external pressures, and the desire to break free from those constraints.
Line by Line Meaning
Well there's nothing I truly desire
I don't have any strong desires or cravings
There's nothing that I really want
I am content with what I have and do not see the need for more
But the times I find myself in the fire
But sometimes I am faced with difficult situations
You choose between the right and the wrong
And in those times, you have to decide what is right and wrong
I wish I could control all my judgements
I wish I could have complete control over my opinions and decisions
Understand every move
And fully comprehend the consequences of every action or decision I make
Take my mind and all of it's voices
I want to take control of my thoughts and inner dialogue
Tell me what should I do
So that I can make the right choice in any given situation
Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in your head
Sometimes I feel like I am influenced by other people's thoughts and opinions
And I wonder (who d'you think you're talking to)
And I question who they are really addressing with their words
One day I'll move get away
I hope to leave this influence behind me at some point
From these feelings getting stronger (who d'you think you're talking to)
Because these feelings are becoming more and more intense
Sometimes I feel like it's not so fun
Sometimes it's not enjoyable to be in this situation
To see what's under (who d'you think you're talking to)
To uncover what is truly meant by someone's words
Let me out let me out
I want to break free from this external influence
I don't think I can stand it any longer (who d'you think you're talking to)
I am reaching my breaking point and need to make a change
I remember being part of that era
I recall a time when I was involved with something or someone
I remember being so far from home
I recall a time when I was away from my familiar surroundings
All the times I needed someone to hear me
During those times, I needed someone to listen to me
Cos I've never felt so much on my own
Because I have never felt so isolated and alone
All the trouble that you have with your future
We all face uncertainty and difficulty when it comes to planning our future
All the rules that make your life so secure
But there are rules and guidelines that help us feel safe and stable
There are people who will give their opinions
Others may offer their opinions and advice
But tell me what do they know
But ultimately, no one knows what is best for me except myself
Who d'you think you're talking to
Who are you addressing with your words?
Who d'you think you're talking to
Who do you believe is listening to you?
Who d'you think you're talking to
Who do you think cares about what you have to say?
