Hero (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This part feels like a personal reflection where the artist is questioning his comfort with darkness, both literal and emotional. He’s pointing out how we only change when we’re forced to, like a virus. Even though he might be making money, there’s a hollowness inside—it’s not real living, just surviving. He feels like disappearing, as if the weight of everything is too much. Wandering through Marrakech at night alone shows how lost and isolated he feels. His mind is filled with disturbing thoughts, and he regrets the way his life has turned out, wishing he could start over. There’s a sense that broken things—maybe relationships or life situations—are being covered up with money instead of being truly fixed. He talks about pain like sleeping on barbed wire, only to wake up to more trauma. It’s like he’s stuck in a dream that’s actually a nightmare. He sees himself as wild and untied, easily blown away by life. And when he searches for hope, he’s warned that things might get worse before they get better.

[Chorus]
Here, he’s making a promise to his close friend or brother that they’ll overcome everything. He remembers wanting to be a hero as a kid, full of dreams. But life changed him, and those dreams faded. Now, those memories disappear like smoke when he smokes a joint. Even though the sky looks beautiful, the reality he’s living in is violent and chaotic, filled with gun sounds and dark thoughts that haunt him constantly.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, there’s a bitter feeling. He’s talking about a girl who makes him smile, but deep down he knows she’s not genuine—maybe she’s only there for money. Then he questions who would survive if things go wrong, showing how alone he feels. All his life experiences, whether good or bad, feel buried deep in his memory like they’re dead. He’s spent a lot of time wandering the streets, like he belongs to them. He doesn’t see himself as someone who can forgive or show love easily—maybe because he never received real love, only hate. He’s carrying guilt and pain that make it hard for him to rise above it all. Still, there’s a quiet hope when he talks about wanting to see the sunlight break through his window. He grew up with very little, picking at life’s scraps like birds do, learning to survive bit by bit.

[Chorus]
Once again, he makes that strong promise to push through with his brother, even though he lost touch with his childhood dreams of being a hero. Life wore him down, and now memories fade away with every puff he takes. No matter how pretty the sky looks, the world he lives in is violent and heavy. His mind keeps repeating those dark, violent rhythms, like a warning that this is his reality.
