Hercules
Fly Away Hero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was broken
I was tossed out in the ocean
I would cry
I would whimper
I would shake and I would shiver
I would sink
To the bottom
And when I reached
The ocean floor
I decided I wouldn't take it anymore
So I swam and swam out of the deep
And I crawled my way out of the sea
And I reached the land where I knew I belong
And I was strong
And I was strong
And if there is a moutain I can make it move
And when the sky is falling I can hold it for you
And I will keep on fighting till I make you see
I'm as strong as Hercules
You were caught
In the motions
When you where lost out in the ocean
Now you can quit
You can cave in but just know you're not beyond saving
I know this is somthing you'll be
You'll crawl your way out of the sea
Cause in my eyes you can never do no wrong
You are strong
You are so strong
And if there is a mountain I can make it move
And when the sky is falling I can hold it for you
And I will keep on fighting till I make you see
I'm as stong as Hecules
And if there is a mountain I can make it move
And when the sky is falling I can hold it for you
And I will keep on fighting till I make you see
I'm as strong as Hercules
And if there is a mountain I can make it move
And when the sky is falling I can hold it for you
And I will keep on fighting till I make you see
I'm as strong as Hercules
And if there is a problem I will clutch it out
And if there is a battle I can win that bout
And I'll show the world, I'm wanting to be
Stronger than Hercules
The Fly Away Hero's song "Hercules" is an inspiring ballad that encourages listeners to have faith in their own strengths and abilities. As the title suggests, the song references the strong and heroic figure of Hercules from Greek mythology, who was known for his superhuman strength and incredible feats. In the first verse, the singer describes their own personal struggles with weakness, brokenness, and despair, which have left them feeling lost and alone at the bottom of the ocean. However, they refuse to give up and instead crawl their way out of the sea, determined to prove their own strength and resilience. The chorus reinforces the idea that the singer is just as strong as the legendary Hercules, capable of moving mountains and holding up the sky in order to help others. They promise to keep fighting until they are able to make even the most doubtful person see their true potential.
The song also contains an uplifting message for others who may be struggling. In the second verse, the singer addresses someone who is also lost and adrift in the ocean of life. They urge the other person to keep going, to never give up hope because they too have great strength within themselves. The chorus repeats the same message, serving as an anthem of encouragement and inspiration for everyone who feels overwhelmed and helpless. The powerful imagery of the song and its relatable lyrics make it a song that can uplift and empower anyone who listens to it.
