Cover art for hereos die lyrics by Ronnie Day

first of all, this song is AMAZING and everyone should listen to it!

I'm pretty sure this song is about watching someone you love with a drug addiction. "Sometimes we watch our heroes die." You watch them kill themselves. I have a friend with drug problems and this song really hits home for me.

"I've learned that there are things about you, which I knew, which I chose to hold in. " He knew she had drug problems but chose to ignore it.

"I've seen your eyes when they're glassed over- your charcoaled lungs, malignant fire." He's seen her high.

"Desire keeps us holding on tight. I am now everything good that you did." However, despite her addictions, he still loves her and wants her, and he's learned from her without having to make her mistakes.

(By the way, my friend has been clean for about two months now, and he really wants to stay that way. I'm so proud of him :] )
