Draw the Line
Me vs Hero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelings that we once had shared were setting in
I knew this girl she'd brighten up the darkest skies
Our photographs show memories of when we were young and wild
Until you went and found a way to drag us down
When we get home we'll put your ego the side
You're always at my throat and this is where I draw the line
It's killing me we used to be so much more than this
We held our lives in our finger tips
Now every day just seems adequate at best
Just sit right there and listen in while I get this off my chest
I'm sick and tired of you always being right
When we get home we'll put your ego the side
You're always at my throat and this is where I draw the line
When we get home we'll set your jealousy aside
You're always at my throat and this is where I draw the line
Now we'll see the better side of you and me
This is a reaction to the way we were so drop your attitude
This is a reaction to the way we were so drop your attitude
When we get home we'll put your ego the side
You're always at my throat and this is where I draw the line
When we get home we'll set your jealousy aside
You're always at my throat and this is where I draw the line
The song "Draw The Line" by Me vs Hero is a passionate call-out to someone who is dragging the singer down. The setting is under a blue sky in September, a seemingly idyllic backdrop that makes the ensuing tension all the more frustrating. The lyrics describe how the singer used to share strong feelings with someone who used to brighten up even the darkest skies. But now, memories of a wild youth are all they have left, and someone has found a way to drag them down. The song is a lament for what could have been and a fierce assertion that the singer will no longer tolerate the negativity.
The chorus of the song is a powerful anthem that asserts the singer's autonomy and determination to move beyond the conflict. They vow to put aside the other person's ego and jealousy, drawing a line that they will not allow to be crossed. There is a sense of regret that things have come to this, but also a fierce determination to move forward.
What makes this song so powerful is the way it captures the frustration of a relationship that has turned toxic. The verses are full of memories that are tinged with sadness, but the chorus is where the song really takes flight. It's a rallying cry that encourages the listener to stand up for themselves and draw a line that can't be crossed.
