Hero

I think that this song is about someone who has had their beliefe in love shattered. They used to believe that with love you could be saved, but now believe that love causes much more pain then it is worth.

"Now that the world isn't ending, it's love that I'm sending to you"

There is some kind of learned REALISM here. The singer expected a dramatic, heroic DELIVERANCE or SALVATION of some kind. That did not come. So he has to accept the world as it is -- undramatic, unheroic, and full of bad as well as good.

Was this song written FOR Spiderman? It's basically perfect for describing Spiderman's coming of age.

I love this song like all the bad in the world can be changed by love but only if we trust in it

first off, i think anyone dissing this song is an idiot. this is about discussing the meaning of the song.

so, I think this song means that too many people are standing around, waiting for a hero. if you want more love in the world, you have to give it yourself.

"Now that the world isnt ending, its love that Im sending to you. It isnt the love of a hero, and thcts why I fear it wont do. "

i think this verse is saying that one person's love isnt enough and its challenging the listeners to send out love.

but watever

Dude, Chad Kroeger is Nickelback. He's the lead singer.

I agree with Stephen. I love this song how is it that it doesn't have any comments!? XD

I agree more with white_stone_3... It's about someone who wants to change the world by love. Someone who can't watch anymore, who wants to do something...

ok you guys do know that Nickelback did not write this song, Chad Kroeger did. They were just doing a cover of it. If you want to hear a really good cover of it listen to Lukas Rossi's version.

hmm... if you all haven't noticed this song is ages oldd. and it was written for spider-man 1 the movie. see the connection?

I am so high. I can hear heaven. I am so high/ I can hear heaven. No heaven, no heaven dont hear me>

talking about how one can feel its possible to be with someone or "heaven" but "heaven" doesnt want to be with them.

And they say that a hero can save us. Im not gonna stand here and wait. I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles. Watch as they all fly away. holding on to a certain someone that leaves in the end

Someone told me love will all save us. But how can that be, look what love gave us. A world full of killing, and blood-spilling That world never came. looking back in remorse of the person leaving and realizing that love had fooled them once more

And they say that a hero can save us. Im not gonna stand here and wait. I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles. Watch as they all fly away. once again speaking of holding onto someone that leaves in the end

Now that the world isnt ending, its love that Im sending to you. It isnt the love of a hero, and thats why I fear it wont do. talking about why he thinks the person may have left

And they say that a hero can save us. Io not gonna stand here and wait. I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles. Watch as they all fly away. and again talking about holding onto something that leaves in the end

And they're"watching us (Watching Us) As they all fly away. *possibly talking about how "heaven" feels awkward about him when "heaven" realizes how he felt and leaves because of it"
