Justice
GROUNDBREAKING Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before they pass through
If I could change the past and in turn everything
Could I save us too
While everything falls apart
And while it all drifts away
Sometimes I wish I could be the hero that
Saves the battle day
Everything we′re taught to do and told to say
Doesn't matter now
We watch the bombs go off and light up everything
And tear the blue skies down
And everything falls apart
The bodies all drift away
But I can be the hero everybody needs
I can save this day
The lyrics to GROUNDBREAKING's song "Justice" speak to the desire to be a savior in times of turmoil and destruction. The lyrics suggest a deep-seated frustration that comes from the inability to change the course of events, yet a strong desire to do so. The desire to be a hero is a recurring theme in popular culture, and the lyrics tap into the universal human desire to rise to the challenges of life.
The singer's personal desire to be a hero is highlighted in the lyrics. The first stanza talks about the ability to see things happening before they pass through, yet still feeling like there is nothing that can be done. The second stanza focuses on the raging battle outside and the futility of the situation. But then the singer comes out with a promise to be the hero that the situation needs, imbuing the listener with a sense of hope and possibility.
In popular culture, the idea of being a hero is romanticized and often viewed as an unattainable goal. However, the lyrics show that no matter how dire the situation may seem, there is always an opportunity to make a difference. The song resonates with a wide audience, as it speaks to a longing desire to save the world, to be the hero that everyone needs.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes I can see the things all happening
I possess the foresight to witness events before they transpire
Before they pass through
Prior to events coming into fruition
If I could change the past and in turn everything
In the event I have the ability to alter the previous, the subsequent outcome would change accordingly
Could I save us too
Is it feasible to rescue our perilous situation
While everything falls apart
During the breakdown of our predicament
And while it all drifts away
As our circumstances continually dissipate
Sometimes I wish I could be the hero that
At times, it is my desire to embody the singer that
Saves the battle day
Salvages the day of conflict
Everything we′re taught to do and told to say
All that we learn and hear to perform
Doesn't matter now
At this moment, it is inconsequential
We watch the bombs go off and light up everything
We witness the detonation of explosives and the consequent illumination of everything
And tear the blue skies down
Furthermore, this destroys the very atmosphere we exist under
The bodies all drift away
All who lived before perish and their remains move away
But I can be the hero everybody needs
However, I could represent the heroism required by everyone
I can save this day
I am capable of redeeming the current situation

Here in 2020, still in love with the desperation this song holds. I know it's part of the story but it feels so alive. Thank you for making such awesome music 💜

This song is so relaxing, yet it makes my mind reach the tiny spot in between reality and fantasy at the same time.
