Heroine
Srv.Vinci Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ハッと目が覚めた背後の瞳、迫り来る凶器がキラリ
言葉につまり立場改める、現実と夢の境界に
どちらが夢か見当もつかず、我思う故に我あり
最高のヒロイン、冷え切った世論に耐え切れず舞台飛び降りる

Set the captives free!!

頭を伏せて夜道を逃げる、こびり付く客の嘲笑を

ヒラリと躱し現抜け出る、現実は夢より奇なり

Set the captives free!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Srv.Vinci's song Heroine describe the struggle of someone trying to break free from the constraints of society, and become a hero. The imagery used in these lyrics is quite vivid--the singer is awakened by the sight of a sharp, menacing weapon, and has to re-evaluate their position in the world. They are torn between the reality they find themselves in, and a dream world that they can't quite determine is real or not. Despite this uncertainty, they exist in self-awareness.

The singer of the song is determined, and believes they are the ultimate heroine who cannot withstand the frozen currents of public opinion. They take a huge risk by jumping off a stage mid-performance. The lyrics suggest that this protagonist is someone who wants to be a hero, someone who is noble and courageous enough to break from the mainstream and inspire change. They are a figure of hope for those around them, the captives waiting to be set free. The lyrics leave an emotional impact and leave the listener feeling inspired.
