Tragic Hero)
In the first verse, Taelor Gray speaks about how all he is trying to sell is a dream, and acknowledges that this dream may be unattainable for some because of the cost of living. He mentions how every day can feel like a celebration with champagne, and suggests that maybe the heavens have come down to earth. Taelor's tone seems to suggest that he knows his dreams may be lofty, and he acknowledges the role of his superstitions in realizing these aspirations. He shares that someone, possibly named Lilah, has acknowledged his talent and has taken an interest in him, and he invites the listener to consider his message. He shares that beneath his colorful fashion sense, he is a dreamer with bad habits who navigates a life of deceit and danger. He suggests that although he may not have the same financial equity as others, he has an artistic ability that sets him apart and allows him to succeed.
In the second verse, Tragic Hero speaks about the cyclical nature of life and how everything eventually fades away. He suggests that the only thing that is constant is change, and that even when things seem perfect, they will eventually unravel. Tragic Hero acknowledges that he has been blessed with success, but understands that it could all disappear in a flash. He speaks about his desire to leave a positive legacy behind, and acknowledges that he must work hard and stay committed to achieving his goals. Tragic Hero also suggests that he is not perfect, and has made mistakes in the past, but he is persevering and pushing through life's obstacles.
