Story Behind The Song

In this song a person thinks back about the ending of a relationship and takes responsibility for their part, whereby learning from the experience.

Song Description

Sometimes when a relationship ends and things are decided or said out of fear, instead of love, and ultimately the relationship fails, you may look back and think about it with a new perspective. You might notice where you were wrong about certain things. Sometimes reconciliation is not a reality, so forgiving oneself and learning from it might be the only thing you can take away from the experience.

Lyrics

Title: No Hero Here

standing still
in the margin
of a dog eared diary
patterns appear then disappear
no hero here
no hero here

transparent are the entries
where I failed to write (right) the wrong
vicariously my pen ran clear
no hero here
no hero here

braving pulp and ink
within the passages I sink
as if the pages turning so turn me
into the oblivion to reconcile
the now from then

discovering the in-between
is something more than memory
if I could become
what I have learned from loving you

according to my journal
who tallied every time
I needed to love but only could fear
no hero here
no hero here

a sweet epiphany
is something time has given me
so if the world is turning so turns me
onto the oblivion to reconcile
the now from then

discovering the poetry
a black discarded version of me
who's bound to become
someone who's learned from loving you

the sad reality
is that I miss your company
so if you are obliging pardon me
from out of the oblivion to reconcile
and start again

discovering the mystery
of something I could not foresee
that I have become
what I have learned from
loving you
