Where Hero And Villain Blend
INSPIRATION
The working title started out as “Lost Illusions.” It's about the struggle between good and evil within ourselves and how we often avoid discomfort and keep truths out of sight. But deep down inside there is lingering doubt about whether we are the hero or the villain in our own story. We deny our shadows and are afraid to set them free, but to accept our inner villain’s darkness we must see it. The song is about embracing our complexities and acknowledging our flaws, and how the battle within ourselves is torn between wrong and right. Finding the truth within ourselves, is the song’s main concept, where hero and villain blend, and how accepting our villain’s love can help us achieve balance between the hero and villain we conceal. Most of us see ourselves as the hero in every situation with the other person as the bad guy but reality is that, only half of us can be right. It is more likely that each of us is a blend of hero and villain and the faster we accept that the better off we will be in finding true acceptance. The biggest obstacle to increasing your consciousness is the tendency to avoid the discomfort that comes from seeing yourself as you really are.
Lyrics
- (Verse 1)
Lost in our illusions, searching for the light,
We avoid discomfort, keeping truths out of sight.
But deep down inside, there is lingering doubt,
Am I the hero? Or the villain in this bout?
- (Pre-Chorus)
We deny our shadows, afraid to set them free.
To accept inner villains, darkness we must see.
Within every hero, a touch of darkness exists,
Acknowledge it, and you will persist.
- Chorus
The struggle is a sign, no simple black or white,
Embrace our complexities, we strive for what’s right.
The fight for recognition blurs lines and transcends,
Find the truth within, where hero and villain blend.
- Verse 2
In every hero’s heart, a villain can reside,
And villains may hold remnants of a hero’s pride.
The mirror reflects both the dark and light,
The hero and villain, entwined in every fight.
- Pre-Chorus
The discomfort grows as I begin to see,
The flaws and imperfections staring back at me.
Ignore the discomfort, see myself as I am,
Uncover the hero and villain, without the sham.
- Chorus
The struggle is a sign, no simple black or white,
Embrace our complexities, we strive for what’s right.
The fight for recognition blurs lines and transcends,
Find the truth within, where hero and villain blend.
- Bridge
Heroes and villains, two sides of a fight,
The battle within, torn between wrong and right,
Embracing our shadows, acknowledging our flaws,
Unveiling both the hero and the villain within us all.
- Chorus
The struggle is a sign, no simple black or white,
Embrace our complexities, we strive for what’s right.
The fight for recognition blurs lines and transcends,
Find the truth within, where hero and villain blend.
- Outro
All of us are heroes, or so we believe,
In accepting our villains, love we will achieve.
Breaking through illusions, accepting what’s real,
Finding balance between the hero and villain I conceal.
