I Know Some Heroes Lyrics

A needle in a haystack
Faces few and far between
Inspired by immunity
Stand tall above disease
I am amazed I stand half saved
Just like gravity you keep my feet on the ground
I'm lost and I'm found I owe so much to you
Zombie epidemics
You administer life
The diagnosis looks grim
We're flashing our terminal smiles
The heart that's not your own is often hard to see
Let me be your mirror you never trust reflections
Take off the seatbelts
Roll the windows down all the way
Scream out of key so I know I'm alive
All the heroes I know are not those of storybooks
We grow up as we all fall down
We share the same filmstrip in this common epic

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
