1. Kiss Kiss was an indie rock band that emerged from Milton's SUNY Purchase. The group was formed by Joshua Benash (guitar, synth, and vocals) and Jared Karns (drums) after the members had participated in various college bands. The name Kiss Kiss is derived from a series of short stories by Roald Dahl. Although their music is primarily rock in style, it also includes an electric violin that adds an orchestral sound to many songs. The contrasts within Kiss Kiss' songwriting and vocals have also been described as extremely frantic at times, yet melodic and soothing at others.

A World Without Heroes
Kiss Kiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
It's like a time, without a place
A pointless thingDevoid of grace
Where you don't know what your after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
A world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if somethings after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
The lyrics of "A World Without Heroes" by Kiss Kiss poignantly express the emptiness and purposelessness that comes with a world devoid of inspirational figures. The opening lines, "A world without heroes / Is like a world without sun / You can't look up to anyone / Without heroes," establish the central theme of the song: the essential role that heroes play in our lives, serving as beacons of hope and guidance. Without them, the world feels dark and directionless, lacking someone to admire and aspire towards.
The imagery of a "never ending race" and "time without a place" evokes a sense of constant motion and disorientation that characterizes a world without heroes. The absence of heroes leads to a lack of meaning and purpose, symbolized by the phrase "A pointless thing / Devoid of grace." Without heroes to look up to, individuals struggle to find their footing and navigate their way through life, unsure of their goals and motivations.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of dreams and aspirations, highlighting how in a world without heroes, these hopes are diminished and reduced to mere appearances. The comparison of a world without heroes to a "bird without wings" or a "bell that never rings" emphasizes the fundamental incompleteness and lack of fulfillment that such a world entails. The imagery of a "sad and useless thing" reinforces the idea that without heroes to inspire us, life loses its vibrancy and purpose.
The closing lines of the song bring home the confusion and uncertainty that accompany a world without heroes. The repetition of the refrain "Where you don't know what you're after / Or if something's after you / And you don't know why you don't know" encapsulates the disorienting and frustrating experience of navigating a world devoid of heroes. Overall, "A World Without Heroes" serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of role models and inspirational figures in shaping our aspirations and giving meaning to our lives.

World Without Heroes.
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never-ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing, devoid of grace
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me

The Elder is an example of why you should never let critics tell you if an album is good or not, you have to decide for yourself
@nickbillups3151
A world without heroes is no place to be. It’s no place for me.
@edgardgoncalves4222
I think this lyrics seems to be different of the original version - original version '''There's nothing to be It's no place for me'' but here he realy sings '' is no place to be'' .. strange isn't it??

It makes me smile seeing the audience cheering for a song from The Elder. Underrated gem of an album.
