Heroine
Fou De Toi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loving the way that she moved
And I was the only one
Who'd notice how she'd sigh
Her only friend was a stereo
Who played her any song she could afford
Right inside her carma,
Her loving was unkind
Now that you know
Now that you know,
Did you ever try
Did you ever try
Did you ever try
She was using heroine
Smokin' pot or sippin' wine
And I was always hoping
One day she'd be fine.
I remember when we last spoke
She didn't really know who I was
And then a few days later,
I heard she closed her eyes.
Now that you know
Now that you know
Now that you know,
Did you ever try
Did you ever try
Did you ever try
She was always hoping
Wishing for the old things
And he was always passing
Leaving her with only doubt
Whatever you do, don't go away like her
I miss her.
Whatever you do, don't go away like her
I miss her.
Woah, woah
woah
Now that you know
Now that you know
Now that you know,
Did you ever try
Did you ever try
Did you ever try
She was always hoping
Wishing for the old things
And he was always passing
Leaving her with only doubt
She was always hoping
Wishing for the old things
And he was always passing
Leaving her with only doubt
She was always hoping
Wishing for the old things
He was always passing
Leaving her with only doubt
The song "Heroine" by Fou De Toi is a melancholic story about a girl who struggles with addiction and the singer's unrequited love for her. The song starts with the singer expressing his admiration for her and how he was the only one who notices her melancholic sigh. Her only companion was a car stereo that would play songs for her. The lyrics suggest that the girl was using drugs (heroine, smoking pot or sipping wine) to numb her pain. The singer expresses his hope for her recovery and that he misses her.
Towards the end of the song, the singer reveals that he had a conversation with the girl before she passed away. She no longer recognized who he was, and a few days later, she died. The lyrics emphasize the importance of not letting addiction take control of one's life and how it can be devastating not only for the individual but also for those around them. The singer's love for the girl was not enough to save her, but he still wishes that she could have recovered.
Overall, "Heroine" is a poignant song that highlights the struggles of addiction, the importance of seeking help, and the aftermath of a loved one's untimely death. The song's somber tone, combined with the emotional lyrics, creates a haunting and moving listening experience.
