Heroes
Terranova Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The past is imperfect
The present is temped
The future is maligned
And immortality lasts forever
Welcome to the new shit
Fuck the world saved by the hip hop
Now it's all like the world is all headshot
Like cumspots on video tapes and internet downloads
How you're gonna unfold you gotta 8-year-old kid in the office with gun loaded
Like he in a classroom an all the students are ducking
What the fuck is this world coming to check this up then
You know it better than I we both been here trying keep out thighs from rubbing
Together cause we got too much fat in them
Fellow American how are we gonna get trough this shit without dying from non starvation
I'm like ? you think it's funny call you big dummy
Trying to get up in this shit and follow trough
You like busted your load with only two minutes to do it
Yeah what do you think that this is the right way
You got the organization now you left the rest of us out to play with no ball
And no fucking endzone there's nothing left to do but to keep protesting on
Our microphones
Yeah thanks a lot you left us a lot of choices
Like having no lips and no tongue but still voiceless
Ain't no more heroes only refugees.
Ain't no more refugees only heroes.
Ain't no more heroes only refugees.
Ain't no more refugees only heroes.
Heroes scramble for grub out of food trucks
Heroes are the ones who gives the fuck when the night comes and they don't wake up
Heroes learn to catch and take scrap metal from bombs and make a wah-wah pedal and make it play long note to make that shit sound right
Heroes catch and take particle blasts turn that shit into a goddamn pedal bite and make that last
The lyrics to Terranova’s “Heroes” are a social commentary on the state of the world and the human experience. The opening lines of “grammar of life, the past is imperfect, the present is temped, the future is maligned, and immortality lasts forever” set the stage for the somber tone of the song. The world is not perfect, and the present is always fraught with temptation and difficult decisions. Yet, the future is uncertain and often perceived as negative. The final line of the opener, “immortality lasts forever,” is particularly striking as it contradicts the preceding lines. The only certainty in life is death, and immortality is something symbolic, a glimmer of hope for something greater beyond this life.
The next verse speaks of the world’s current state and the rise of anti-police sentiments, referencing internet downloading and school shootings. The singer laments how future generations may miss out on experiencing a world that is not plagued with constant violence and unrest. The singer criticizes the societal systems that have brought the world to this point and alludes to a lack of leadership, represented by the line, “Ain’t no more heroes, only refugees.” The use of the term "refugees" implies that people are running for their lives, not just in a physical sense, but also in the sense of trying to find a place of peace and stability.
The chorus, “Heroes scramble for grub out of food trucks, heroes are the ones who give a f*ck when the night comes and they don’t wake up”, speaks to the realities of modern-day violence and societal instability. The heroism previously embodied by supernatural characters or figures of myth has been replaced by everyday people. The song suggests that heroism comes in the form of survival in the face of adversity, such as finding nourishment in a world with limited resources or standing up for what is right despite the potential danger. In conclusion, Terranova's 'Heroes' is a haunting yet powerful contemplation on the current state of the world and the need for everyday heroism.

Disregarding the movement that opposes police officers
Now it's all like the world is all headshot
The situation is violent and deadly at all times
Like cumspots on video tapes and internet downloads
The corruption and negativity that is present in various forms of media
How you're gonna unfold you gotta 8-year-old kid in the office with gun loaded
The absurdity and danger of having a young child in control of a lethal weapon
Like he in a classroom an all the students are ducking
The fear and chaos in a classroom during a shooting
What the fuck is this world coming to check this up then
Questioning the state of the world and demanding answers
You know it better than I we both been here trying keep out thighs from rubbing
The shared experience of trying to avoid conflict and tension
Together cause we got too much fat in them
The notion that there is excess baggage or issues that are hindering progress
Fellow American how are we gonna get trough this shit without dying from non starvation
Pondering how to survive the difficult times without perishing from lack of resources
I'm like ? you think it's funny call you big dummy
Expressing frustration and disbelief at someone's humorous approach to serious situations
Trying to get up in this shit and follow trough
Attempting to engage in the situation and see it through to the end
You like busted your load with only two minutes to do it
Making an effort that was not enough and resulted in failure
Yeah what do you think that this is the right way
Questioning if the current path or approach is correct
You got the organization now you left the rest of us out to play with no ball
Gaining power or control and neglecting or not involving others
And no fucking endzone there's nothing left to do but to keep protesting on
The absence of progress or success and the need to continue fighting
Our microphones
The tools used to speak out and make a difference
Yeah thanks a lot you left us a lot of choices
Sarcasm towards the lack of options or opportunities given
Like having no lips and no tongue but still voiceless
Feeling silenced or unheard despite efforts to speak out
Ain't no more heroes only refugees.
There are no longer heroic figures, only those seeking refuge
Ain't no more refugees only heroes.
Those seeking refuge are now the ones seen as heroic
Heroes scramble for grub out of food trucks
Even those considered heroic are struggling to obtain basic necessities
Heroes are the ones who gives the fuck when the night comes and they don't wake up
True heroes are those who care and take action, even when it may cause harm or danger
Heroes learn to catch and take scrap metal from bombs and make a wah-wah pedal and make it play long note to make that shit sound right
Adapting to difficult situations and making something useful from scraps
Heroes catch and take particle blasts turn that shit into a goddamn pedal bite and make that last
Transforming negative and harmful experiences into something lasting and meaningful
