Heroes
Reprazent / Roni Size Lyrics

The lyrics to Roni Size's song "Heroes" convey a sense of disillusionment with the concept of heroism. The singer declares that they do not know any heroes, suggesting that the idealized figures of bravery and selflessness are either rare or nonexistent. However, the idea of heroism is still tempting, as evidenced by the plea to "save me a hero." The repetition of "they can get the glory" implies that heroism is often more about personal recognition than true altruism. The final line, "and then they kiss you and tell you that they're satisfied," adds a layer of cynicism, suggesting that heroes may be motivated more by ego and self-satisfaction than a genuine desire to help others.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a complicated relationship with the idea of heroism. On the one hand, there is a sense of longing for an idealized figure who can save the singer. On the other hand, there is a recognition that heroism is often more about personal gain than true altruism. This tension is heightened by the repetition of the phrase "they can get the glory," which suggests both attraction and skepticism towards the idea of being a hero.
