House of Heroes doesn't just sing songs, they tell stories. Songs like "In the Valley of the Dying Sun" (telling a version of the story of Jacob in the Bible) and "Code Name: Raven" (the story of a spy in the time of World War II) draw listeners in by setting stories of love, sacrifice, and war to a non-specific song set-up and engaging music. Other songs, like "Friday Night", "Faces", or "The Drugs the Drugs" show the emptiness of man's meaningless desires. Distinguished lyrics and music that backs it up, pushing it forward, give listeners a unique experience. A band not scared of being different, House of Heroes certainly distinguishes themselves from the bunch.
Releases include: "What You Want Is Now", with tracks like "Julia", "The Lead Role In The Cage", and strings-backed "Uncomfortable" make the album House of Heroes's most rock-lead album. Self- titled "House of Heroes" and "Say No More" ( a re-release of the first with extra songs) posess the most edgy, indie-rock sound, lead by songs "Buckets For Bullet Wounds", "Serial Sleepers", "You Are the Judas of the Cheerleading Squad", and 9 minute closer "Angels In Top Hats." 2010 release "The End Is Not the End" gets its name from the lyrics in the acoustic driven song "By Your Side" of the album. Tracks like "In the Valley of the Dying Sun", "Leave You Now", and epic-like "Field of Daggers" make an argument to "The End..." being the band's most creative album yet. Their most recent release, "Suburba," continues the creative trend with the rock sound of "Independance Day for a Petty Thief" to the beautiful worship anthem "Salt in the Sea." Other releases include the holiday song "Silent Night", DC Talk cover "Day By Day", and the band's most different output, "The Acoustic End EP", which includes the acoustic version of the song "If'" (from "the End Is Not the End"),"New Moon", and "Ghost." A well-worked "Serial Sleepers (Acoustic)" is available for free on freehoh.com. The band has also released "Meets the Beatles EP" which includes three Beatles cover: "Can't Buy Me Love", "It Won't Be Long", and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da."
Rumours from the band's facebook page indicate a new EP coming sometime soon.

House of Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dim light and narrow view. I watched this take control of you.
It hurts me to see you. your eyes spoke words you didn't dare.
You trusted what betrayed you.
It's gone and no one really cares at all.
Said you've only got one time baby.
This time is only worth what you make of it.
You need this? you got it.
Say all the right things. hesitance consequense.
Cover it up. make sure you cover it up.
Nobody knows you. nothing risked nothing gained.
He who pleads his case.
I can hardly see you through the cracks in the wall.
You wouldn't know a good thing if it pinned you to the ceiling.
You've got a simple problem. it's your problem. it's my problem.
What you want is now.
The lyrics to House of Heroes's song Nobody Love No One is a portrayal of a person who has lost themselves and are stuck in a negative spiral. The singer expresses that they have been watching this person from a distance and have witnessed them slowly drifting away. The person has created a narrow view of the world through dim lighting and increasing space at their request. The singer can see that this has taken control of the person and they are hurting. The person's eyes speak words they dare not say, but they have trusted what betrayed them. It seems like they have given up on themselves and have succumbed to their surroundings.
The chorus implies that the person's situation has resulted in them feeling alone and unimportant. The world has moved on, and no one cares enough to support them. The singer is suggesting that despite this feeling of being alone, the person needs to give life another chance and start making an effort. They only have one shot at life, and it's essential to make the most of it. The things that the singer once loved about the person have disappeared, and they are now vacant.
The song also touches on the idea of risk and reward. The person needs to take a risk and try something new to gain anything in life. Right now, they are covering up their problems and living a life of hesitance and consequence. Nobody knows the person, and nothing is being gained or lost. It's time for change and to take the risk to make something happen. However, the person is struggling to see the problem they have and can't identify the good things in their life.
