The band's last EP was produced by Ben Kasica, famed former guitarist of the band Skillet. The feature single "Breakdown" spent over ten months on the Billboard BDS Christian Rock Charts peaking at #4. Random Hero is known for their energy charged live shows and widely appealing music.
The band has worked with MTV, the ESPN X-Games, AMA Motocross, the Go Fast Extreme Games, and is the exclusive band for the Live the Dream Tour. Live the Dream Tour is an organization that holds unique assembly programs for high school and middle school students in order to donate money to the fledgling school music programs.
The mission of the band is “To be light in the darkness…”, and because of this, Random Hero finds themselves in a unique situation with world-class producers, solid management, widely appealing songs, and a future shining with unlimited opportunity. Guitarist Josh Bertrand summed it all up “We could not be more blessed than to share our music with the world. A true measure of an artists success is the love they receive back from those the music is shared with…and Random Hero feels very, very loved!”
Never Again
Random Hero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The damage inside of me
I need, a recess from reality
You, you keep
Calling, calling out to me
I see
That grace is all I ever need
I will never be the same
But were playing with these cruel intentions
I, know what can set you free
Be the cure you need
If you want it come and get it
Or get out of the way
Set me on fire
But my heart will never change
I will never back down, never back down, never again
I come alive when you burn me in the flames
I will never back down, never back down
Never again
Oh here I am
Just a broken man
Hunted by the devil
But redeemed with second chances
I've got a purpose
I've got a reason to live
You washed away the stains
And showed me what forgiveness is
I will never be the same
No, life is not a game
But were playing with these cruel intentions
I, know what can set you free
Be the cure you need
If you want it come and get it
Or get out of the way
Set me on fire
But my heart will never change
I will never back down, never back down, never again
I come alive when you burn me in the flames
I will never back down, never back down
Never again
Are you addicted
Are you the suicidal
Are you the hopeless, the worthless
Feel like there's no tomorrow
Never again will you feel this way
If you'd open up your heart
You'll see the beauty in the pain
Set me on fire
But my heart will never change
I will never back down, never back down, never again
I come alive when you burn me in the flames
I will never back down, never back down
Never again
Set me on fire
But my heart will never change
I will never back down, never back down, never again
I come alive when you burn me in the flames
I will never back down, never back down
Never again
The song "Never Again" by Random Hero explores themes of brokenness, redemption, and perseverance. The opening lines "Oh it's plain to see, the damage inside of me, I need, a recess from reality" suggest that the singer is struggling with internal wounds and needs a break from the real world to heal. However, the chorus "I will never back down, never back down, never again" expresses a strong determination to overcome the challenges and not let them defeat him.
The second verse "Here I am, just a broken man, hunted by the devil, but redeemed with second chances" reinforces the idea of feeling broken, but also introduces the idea of redemption. The singer has a purpose and a reason to live despite the challenges he faces. The lyrics "You washed away the stains and showed me what forgiveness is" suggest that the singer has found some sort of spiritual or emotional healing that is helping him to move forward.
The song encourages listeners to open up their hearts and see the beauty in the pain, and to choose to never give up. The repeated line "set me on fire, but my heart will never change" suggests that the singer is willing to endure more pain and hardship in order to stay true to himself and his convictions.
