Lyric discussion by CallieKoo 

Cover art for Short Change Hero lyrics by Heavy, The

I am seeing from the perspective of someone who sees a loved one destroying themselves with drug addiction. You cant see where they are coming from, why they used in the first place. You know just what they are running from-- the withdrawl.
So many go down the drug path trying to be the cool hero in front of their friends. Dont be that kind of hero. Drug addiction is not a place for a hero, not a place for a better man. Addiciton is not place to call home. Your momma is crying from all of your cheating and lying, you are making a fool out of her. She tells daddy your are using, but you convince him you are not and she is just a fool.

My Interpretation
