Anti Hero (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This part questions justice and who gets to decide what’s right or wrong. It suggests that society judges people unfairly, and the distinction between good and evil isn’t as clear as people think. The idea of morality is fading, making it hard to tell who the real heroes and villains are.

[Pre-Chorus]
This line means that people should focus on what they actually see, rather than blindly following what they are told. It hints that truth is often distorted.

[Chorus]
The singer feels lost in darkness, unsure of why they are there. They have fallen and lost everything, but instead of seeking help or redemption, they accept their role as an anti-hero. Holding a torch symbolizes carrying their own truth, even if it means standing alone and rejecting traditional heroism.

[Post-Chorus]
This refers to tearing away blind justice and taking control of judgment. The singer embraces their anti-hero identity, picking up the tools of justice (scales and sword) but not in the conventional sense.

[Verse 2]
The world is full of illusions, and people only believe what suits them. The singer challenges this, telling others to be prepared for reality. They reject greed and warn that even those who think they have power will eventually have to face the truth. It’s a call to let go of deception.

[Pre-Chorus]
This means that maybe the truth was never important in the first place. It questions whether people actually want to know reality or if they prefer comfortable lies.

[Chorus]
Again, the singer describes feeling lost in darkness but fully embracing their identity as an anti-hero. They have nothing left to lose, yet they refuse to seek salvation. They are determined to stand alone, even if it means going against expectations.

[Interlude]
The singer acknowledges that they have been shaped by the world into an anti-hero, rather than choosing this path themselves.

[Bridge]
This part is about rebellion. It calls for setting things in motion, bringing change, and standing together against a broken world. If others feel the same way, they should raise their hands and take action.

[Chorus]
The singer and others like them are reaching their limit. They continue falling, but there is nowhere left to go. Instead of hoping for a savior, they fully accept being an anti-hero, refusing to rely on anyone for rescue.

[Post-Chorus]
The hero who once blindly followed justice has now taken control. They hold the power to judge and fight, but in their own way—not as a traditional hero, but as an anti-hero.
