No More Heroes
Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though the aim was true
Still it missed the mark
As we wait for a hero we can't find
Now I know, now I realize
It's a hard line
Once you cross you're on your own
But I won't lie, I'm not satisfied
When your heroes, turn to the enemy
And there's nothing left to hold
When your heroes, give only apologies
I won't deny it leaves me cold
Once again, you let us fall
Still you ease our minds and are sure to stall
In the end, everything's gonna be alright
But they won't
Now I realize, these are hard times
We can't fight them on our own
But I won't lie, I'm not satisfied
Who will save tomorrow?
When your heroes, turn to the enemy
And there's nothing left to hold
When your heroes, give only apologies
I won't deny it leaves me cold
Hope we're still alive
Still alive
Oh, oh, oh
We're still alive
Still alive in the end
Now I know
Now I realize, these are hard times
We can't face them on our own
But I won't lie, I'm not satisfied
Who will save tomorrow?
When your heroes, turn to the enemy
And there's nothing left to hold
When your heroes, give only apologies
I won't deny it leaves me cold
When your heroes, turn to the enemy
And there's nothing left to hold
When your heroes, give only apologies
I won't deny it leaves me cold
If we're still alive
Still alive
Oh, oh, oh
If we're still alive
I would never doubt you again
The lyrics to "No More Heroes" by Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators seem to address a feeling of disappointment in those we consider our heroes. The song speaks of taking a shot in the dark, missing the mark, and waiting for a hero that never appears. The singer realizes that crossing certain lines means being on your own and facing hard times that we can't fight alone. They also express their dissatisfaction with the situation and the need for someone to save tomorrow.
The verses seem to be a commentary on the current state of the world, where it seems like heroes are few and far between. The lyrics reference heroes turning to the enemy, giving only apologies, and ultimately leaving us cold. Despite this disappointment, the chorus provides a glimmer of hope, stating that we are still alive in the end and expressing a desire to never doubt each other again.
Overall, the song seems to be a call to action for everyone to be the hero they want to see in the world, rather than waiting for someone else to save the day.

Took a shot in the dark
Took a chance with little hope of success
Though the aim was true
Although the attempt was well-intended
Still it missed the mark
Nevertheless, it failed to achieve the desired outcome
As we wait for a hero we can't find
While we hope for someone to lead us out of our struggles
Now I know, now I realize
I have come to an understanding
It's a hard line
It's a difficult position to be in
Once you cross you're on your own
Once you make a certain decision, you can no longer expect help
But I won't lie, I'm not satisfied
But I won't pretend that I am content
We can't wait much longer
We can't continue to delay
When your heroes, turn to the enemy
When those you look up to become a source of harm
And there's nothing left to hold
And there is no longer anything to grasp onto for hope
When your heroes, give only apologies
When those you respect offer nothing more than empty expressions of regret
I won't deny it leaves me cold
I cannot deny it leaves me feeling disappointed and helpless
Once again, you let us fall
Once again, you have allowed us to fail
Still you ease our minds and are sure to stall
Still, you quell our concerns and buy time
In the end, everything's gonna be alright
Ultimately, things will work out
But they won't
But those in positions of power won't help us
Now I realize, these are hard times
Now I understand that these are challenging times
We can't fight them on our own
We cannot overcome these difficulties without help
Who will save tomorrow?
Who can we rely on to ensure a better future?
Hope we're still alive
I hope we are still surviving despite the odds
Still alive
Still present and active
We're still alive
We are still present and active
Now I realize, these are hard times
Now I understand that these are challenging times
We can't face them on our own
We cannot confront these issues without help
If we're still alive
If we are still surviving despite the odds
I would never doubt you again
I would never hesitate to trust you again

Ahh remember hearing this song last summer texting a girl about how I liked her and all and she said the same back and I was just dancing to this song in the middle of the night, even though I had to be at the airport in just a few hours. Song has a whole new meaning when everything's gone.
