This song is about how we see our heroes.
That's what I feel anyway.
It's kind of like that saying "never meet your idols".
I guess I'm more literal but he's talking about maybe catching that person you idolize in a bad act.
It's like your hero running down the street while holding a purse that he's stolen.
And if you're a kid and you meet eyes with him and you see this crime he's committed,
I can't help but think that purse will be the blackest purse you've ever seen.
He might even be comparing himself to the poser in the bowler or the smallfry in the bowtie, as he states that he's really a poser himself "i'm not who, with my eyes from stage, i claim to be"
so he himself would be the one to kick the bucket first.
And if he's this "hero", Yoni knows he's gonna bite it first
yet, his own poser ways will bring him back to running away from situations when they come up.
even though he comes off as being brutally honest all the time, maybe Yoni feels he's still a fake because maybe not all of what he's spitting at us is true. or maybe it is true but he's bending and hiding things for some unknown reason.
however, we know he wants to "speak at an intimate decibel", which makes him at least worthy of something.

that's pretty much all i got.
