Heroin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In all the search and seizure.
I have found one truth.
I like to hurt you with it.
I guess that's just what I like to do.
With this one truth I hide.
I hold it up in front of my own lies.
Fool.
The lyrics of Heroin's song "Has Been" depict a speaker who has seemingly stumbled upon a single elusive truth, which they now wield as a weapon against someone else. This truth, whatever it may be, is something that gives the singer pleasure to use as a means of hurting others. It is not clear whether this truth is a fact about themselves or their victim, but it seems to hold some significance in their own personal struggles with deception and self-deception. The closing line of "fool" perhaps serves as a self-aware acknowledgement of the singer's own flawed nature.

I have found one truth.
Despite searching and confiscation, there is only one undeniable aspect I have discovered.
In all the search and seizure.
Throughout all of my investigations and confiscations.
I have found one truth.
Again, there is only one verifiable fact to be found.
I like to hurt you with it.
My pleasure is derived from inflicting pain upon you using this knowledge.
I guess that's just what I like to do.
Perhaps it is simply my preferred method of action.
With this one truth I hide.
I conceal myself behind this solitary piece of information.
I hold it up in front of my own lies.
I utilize it as a shield in order to hide my own deceitful behavior.
Fool.
An insult aimed at myself, as I am aware of my own foolishness and self-destructive behavior.

Yes the term emo def predates herion. The dc bands like embrace and rites of spring "invented" emo..in the late 8os and heavily influenced the CA sound ...if anything this is early screamo..yes the term is shit now..but in the 90s we called this screamo( gravity records etx)...but emo and screamo and "violence" bands later always played shows with hc bands...it wasnt as polarized as now but distinctions were made...no matter how its been basterdized now...that what kids used to call this stuff

Uh Heroin was Emotive Hardcore. It’s all formed from Hardcore. Even Ian MacKaye said when he was in Embrace that the term Emocore is a joke. Since when was Hardcore not emotional?
