Heroes
MIKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will march through the door
They're fighting someone else's war
They'll have so many stories to tell
In exchange for a hero's farewell
I wish I could
I wish I could make you return
As you walk to the toll of the bell
You'll be fighting for our heaven with hell
And you don't understand
Why no one else can see
Your blood on me
And my blood on you
But to make you bleed
The only thing I wouldn't do
And you know heroes aren't meant to survive
So much harder to love when alive
Walk with the devil in your head
You would think you were better off dead
Where can you go?
We fight we earn
We never learn
And through it all
The hero falls
I wish there was a way
To give you a hand to hold
You don't have to die in your glory
To never grow old
The lyrics of Mika's song Heroes paint a picture of young soldiers fighting in a war that is not their own. The song highlights the bravery and sacrifices made by these soldiers who will have many tales to tell when they return, but may never fully comprehend the true cost of war. Mika expresses a desire to bring these soldiers back home safely, but acknowledges the harsh reality of war and the toll it takes on these young heroes.
The lyrics evoke feelings of sorrow and empathy towards the soldiers who are risking their lives for their country. Mika's words remind us that these soldiers often have to deal with the trauma of war, both physical and emotional, which may not be apparent to those around them. The chorus of the song emphasizes the difficult truth that heroes are not meant to survive, making it harder to love them when they are still alive.
Mika's use of imagery throughout the song, such as "your blood on me, and my blood on you," adds to the emotional depth of the lyrics. The song is a tribute to the unsung heroes who are fighting for a cause greater than themselves, but who often go unrecognized for their bravery.
Line by Line Meaning
The kids in the hundreds tomorrow
Hundreds of children will march tomorrow
Will march through the door
They'll be entering a battleground
They're fighting someone else's war
Children are fighting battles they didn't create
They'll have so many stories to tell
The children will have many tales to share
In exchange for a hero's farewell
This is their sacrifice in return for heroic celebrations
I wish I could
A feeling of helplessness and wishful thinking
I wish I could make you return
Wishing for a lost loved one's return
And what if I'll never discern
Uncertainty about the future
As you walk to the toll of the bell
Walking towards death and funerals
You'll be fighting for our heaven with hell
Dying while fighting for a better world
And you don't understand
A sense of being misunderstood
Why no one else can see
The struggles aren't readily visible
Your blood on me
A sign of being in this together
And my blood on you
The mutual suffering and sacrifice
But to make you bleed
Some things aren't worth doing, even for a cause
The only thing I wouldn't do
There are moral lines you wouldn't cross
And you know heroes aren't meant to survive
It's often assumed heroes have to make sacrifices
So much harder to love when alive
Harder to appreciate someone's importance when they're alive
Walk with the devil in your head
Mental and emotional demons make heroic choices challenging
You would think you were better off dead
The hero's inner struggle can be unbearable
Where can you go?
A feeling of being stuck in a situation
We fight we earn
The battles fought lead to different outcomes
We never learn
Despite repeated lessons, humans keep making the same mistakes
And through it all
Despite it all
The hero falls
Even heroes are mortal, and sometimes they don't survive
I wish there was a way
Feeling hopeless and wanting to help
To give you a hand to hold
To be there for someone in need
You don't have to die in your glory
You don't have to die to be remembered for heroic actions
To never grow old
To have your memory live on forever
