I salute Foster The People, for writing songs that actually have a point to them. Love this song! Really catchy, and if what I think it means is correct, then relatable. I think it's basically about someone going through a pretty tough time, and everything's not going their way. They're makin' mistakes, feelin' pretty down... But they're trying to get through it. They're not giving up. Though, I also think that it's trying to say that just one guy going through all this alone makes him a hero. The part where he says "Where are my friends now? They're not here when I need them" shows that he's not getting much support, or basically when things get tough, his friends leave. And he may feel like he's not doing so great, but he doesn't realize that he's a hero ("Unsuspecting Hero") for trying to make it through and get past it.

Pretty incredible, if ya ask me. If you didn't ask me, then it's still incredible. Anyone who faces difficult situations with a good head on their shoulders and a positive outlook is, in my opinion, a "hero". Especially if all their friends run and hide because something got tricky or tough. This song is relatable and motivating :)
