Credits
Sushi Soucy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Chine, chine)
Nobody knows exactly what it takes to be a hero, but no one's a hero
I guess it comes down to what you define as evil depending on the things that you've seen
(Seen, seen)
Nobody knows exactly what it takes to be a villain, but no one's a villain
And it doesn't take a cape
And it doesn't make you any less
If there's only one person whose life you have changed
In Sushi Soucy's song Credits, the artist reflects on the meaning of superhero and supervillain in today's society. The opening lines criticize the repetitive questioning of success and what it takes to be a hero, as it seems to be the same old question played over and over like an outdated record machine. The artist then highlights the fact that no one really knows what it takes to be a hero or a villain as the definition of good and evil is subject to the individual's own experiences and perception.
The chorus then emphasizes the fact that being a hero or a villain does not depend on any particular costume, accessory, or superpower. Rather, being a hero or a villain is judged based on one's actions and impact on others. It is not necessary to have a recognizable identity or a mass following to be considered a hero or a villain. Ultimately, the song emphasizes the power of one's actions to change a life, and how that can make a real difference no matter how small it may seem.
