Heroes - Discussion

It's the only song without it's thread. I felt sorry so decided to open one.

Not sure it's a proper reason for opening a thread, but here it is.

Oh, yes. In order to look like a proper thread we need some lyrics. Are there any magicians willing to try to catch some lyrics, please.

The kids in their hundreds tomorrow

Will march through the door

They're fighting someone else's war

They'll have so many stories to tell

In exchange for a hero's farewell

 

I wish I could

I wish I could make you return

And what if I'll never discern

As you walk to the toll of the bell

You'll be fighting for our heaven with hell

 

And you don't understand

Why no one else can see

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

The only thing I wouldn't do

 

And you know

Heroes aren't meant to survive

So much harder to love when alive

Walk with the devil in your head

You would think you were better off dead

 

And you don't understand

Why no one else can see

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

The only thing I wouldn't do

 

Where can you go?

We fight we earn

We never learn

And through it all

The hero falls

 

I wish there was a way

To give you a hand to hold

Cause you don't have to die in your glory

Die To never grow old

 

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

The only thing I wouldn't do

 

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

The only thing I wouldn't do

 

Where can you go

 

Where can you go

We fight we earn

We never learn

And through it all

The hero falls

I think Emily doesn't have its own thread yet either...

I agree though that Heroes definitely needs its own thread. It had to grow on me first, but it's starting to do that already. Especially because of the lyrics, they're sad but I love them.

I'll give it a try, but I don't really understand that middle part. Something with "fighter fighter"?

Why no one else can see

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

Is the only thing I wouldn't do

And you know

Heroes are meant to survive

So much harder to love when alive

Broke (?) with the devil in your head

You think you're better off dead

And you don't understand

Why no one else can see

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

Is the only thing I wouldn't do

You're a fighter, fighter, fighter

...?

We fight, we yearn, we never learn

And through it all the hero falls

I wish there was a way

To give you a hand to hold

'Cause you don't have to die

In the glory

It's the only song without it's thread. I felt sorry so decided to open one.

Oh, yes. In order to look like a proper thread we need some lyrics. Are there any magicians willing to try to catch some lyrics, please.

To be honest, it's not among my top 5 of the new songs -- I think I'll

need to hear the whole thing. Plus, I'm having trouble with hearing the

lyrics in places. Definitely need help with this. But since you asked

Put your (?) blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

The only thing I wouldn't do

And you know heroes are meant to survive

So much harder to love when alive

Broke with a devil in your head

You would think you were better off dead

And you don't understand

Why no one else can see

Put your (?) blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

The only thing I wouldn't do

Fire fire fire

Fire fire fire

If I'd be a... (?)

Never... (?)

And through it all

A hero fall

I wish that there was a way

To give you a hand to hold

'Cause you don't have to die

In your glory...

Thank you, both!

Oh, Karin, you heard more than I did -- now I have to go back and listen AGAIN!

poor girl, having to listen to mika songs all day!

probably it's just my mind that made up those bits, the middle part is really hard to understand!

heroes reminds me a little of "wooden boat" by take that, probably because of the guitar sound. here's a live version of the tt song:

i know that thread, but it's about the version he sang in schaffhausen. the lyrics are different now, so imo it should have its own thread.

I hear " and you know Heroes aren't meant to survive"

So do I... and it makes more sense really

I hear " and you know Heroes aren't meant to survive"

yes, i think you're right. definitely fits better with the next line!

btw, we forgot the part that's in the youtube clip, i think it's before the lines we hear in the itunes clip?

I wish I could make you return

And what if I'll never discern

As you walk to the toll of the bell

You'll be fighting for a heaven with hell

And you don't understand

why no one else can see

Yes, it definitely makes more sense! That's the trouble with listening over and over -- you get so immersed in it, you forget to step back read over what you've come up with to see if it actually makes sense!

yes, i think you're right. definitely fits better with the next line!

Oh yes -- so many little bits and pieces out there. But yes, that's what I hear in that as well.

Still listening, always listening...

And now I'm pretty sure the one line is:

"But to make you LEAVE the only thing I wouldn't do"

And Karin, I think "we fight, we yearn, we never learn" sounds right, the

more I listen.

Oh I got "we fight - we learn, we live - we learn" got a bit of a "lonely alone" feeling there guess you guys are right

Still listening, always listening...

On first listen I heard "but to make you bleed the only thing I wouldn't do" will have a closer listen later!

Oh and I thought it was "we fight The earth we never learn"

*Subscribes*.

This song is in my top 3:thumb_yello:

Any lyrics for this one? I need to know what we're fighting and where the blood goes

here are the lyrics from the booklet, but they're not complete

The kids in the hundreds tomorrow

Will march through the door

They're fighting someone else's war

They'll have so many stories to tell

In exchange for a hero's farewell

I wish I could,

I wish I could make you return And what if I'll never discern

As you walk to the toll of the bell

You'll be fighting for our heaven with hell

And you don't understand

Why no one else can see

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

Is the only thing I wouldn't do

And you know

Heroes aren't meant to survive

So much harder to love when alive

Walk with the devil in your head

You would think you were better off dead

And you don't understand

Why no one else can see

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

Is the only thing I wouldn't do

Where can you go?

We fight we earn

We never learn

And through it all

The hero falls

I wish there was a way

To give you a hand to hold

You don't have to die in your glory

To never grow old

Thank you so much for typing this up

Unfortunately I like it even less now that I know the lyrics

I don't have so many words to describe this song but I think is amazing...his voice here is perfect...I love it!

MIKA - Track by Track (The Making of Heroes)

[YOUTUBE]cmaMfyD0HfY&feature[/YOUTUBE]

He talks about heroes in this interview as well, from 5:00 till about 6.30

To be honest, it's not among my top 5 of the new songs -- I think I'll

need to hear the whole thing. Plus, I'm having trouble with hearing the

lyrics in places. Definitely need help with this. But since you asked

 

Really? this is my fave one I adore it, I think it would make a great Christmas song (visualizes vid)

1.Heroes

2.The origin of Love

3.Only Love You When I'm Drunk

4.Step With Me

5.Tah Dah (mostly the lyrics)

Where can you go

divide the earth or (we fight the earth)?

we never learn

And through it all

The hero falls

maybe

Still not my favorite, even after Mika's Track by Track explanation...

nice sentiment behind it, but... oh well.

Anyhow, between the CD booklet and listening, seems like these are the final lyrics:

The kids in their hundreds tomorrow

Will march through the door

They'll have so many stories to tell

In exchange for a hero's farewell

I wish I could

I wish I could make you return

We fight we earn

We never learn

And through it all

I wish there was a way

To give you a hand to hold

Cause you don't have to die in your glory

Die To never grow old

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

The only thing I wouldn't do

Your blood on me

And my blood on you

But to make you bleed

The only thing I wouldn't do

Where can you go

Where can you go

We fight we earn
