Heroes
dark station Lyrics

What you see is not what you get
Appearances can be deceiving; things are not always as they seem.

Like the puppets on a string
We are often controlled like puppets, without being aware of it.

They move me, I'm not content
We can be influenced by external forces, even when we're not satisfied with our situation.

I just wanna be free
Freedom is a desire that we all share.

I just wanna be found
We want to find our place in the world.

But I know that my heart's not willing to go down
We may face challenges, but we can overcome them if we don't give up.

So pick me up and I will give you a show
We can entertain others, even when we may not be feeling our best.

Tell me I'm a good boy, oh / Please I wanna know
We all want validation and approval from others.

What will come next when all the lies have been fed / What's left to hope for when your Heroes are dead / Wake me up, the poison wasn't enough / What's left to hope for when your heroes are dead
When we no longer believe in those who were once our role models, we can struggle to find meaning and hope in life.

Hey kids / Here's another bit of information / For your mass mainstream media to concur
The media can be a powerful force in shaping our perceptions and beliefs.

I will be another let down / So pour another drink / And rip these curtains out / I am finally free / I think I have found / A place where my heart wont get lost in the sound
Even if we feel like we've let ourselves or others down, we can find freedom and a sense of belonging if we keep searching.
