Kids & Heroes

Corrections:

"Nothing in life is a sure bet anyway You're gone Guess you weren't here from the start In the end Its all a question of heart"

"Maybe we were just naive But I still believe "

being let down by your heroes, and growing up to be a hero to others youself.

Exactly, bugzcar. Exactly.

"Hey, where have I gone? I used to be the one Looking for a hero In some far off place Blindly ever forward Never knowing all along The truth was right here In my own song"

I used to be so weak, going through my life so helplessly dependent on finding other heroes, only to find that I myself have become a hero to others.

I love this band.

I think it's about being abandoned or neglected by one or both parents when you were a small child.
Nothing in life is a sure bet anyway You're gone Guess you weren't here from the start In the end It's all a question of heart. Could be about any sort of betrayal, I suppose. Could be a deserted lover or an abandoned child. Someone who loved you and believed in you and trusted you, but you left anyway.

this song just reminds me of bands that i like. i mean their pretty much my heroes and who i look up to and wanna be like. it also kind of reminds me of bands i used to like but have, i dont know, changed, or sold out. "Hey, where did it go? Everything we fought for?"

Another Correction (actually my favorite part):

But I still believe There are only a few things That really belong to me who I am Who I was Who I wanna be Who I wanna be

I "discovered" this band on Pandora - where have they been all my life? - AWESOME

Yeah I agree. To me this song is about how kids feel about their heroes who have sold out. "Seemed like nothing Could break you down How high was the price? And was it worth it?"

The (???)s are you're gone in the first 2 verses and naive in the 3rd

Is this a call-out to Shal?

I don't know how many of you are WWE fans, but I associate this song with how I feel about Chris Benoit.
