Rush – Nobody’s Hero Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider …
[Verse 1]
I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider …
[Verse 1]
I rest my case sophisticated
Reckless like I promised
And I had it, then I managed
And you talked me through it
Baby, do it
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you saved me
Then you made me rich and …
[Chorus: Q-Tip & Cordae]
When I think it’s all she wrote, looking through my holy quotes
Looking for the antidote, and I think I’ve found that it’s life
Life, my nigga, it’s life, …
[Intro]
Yeah, uh
Hey, yo
Alright
[Verse 1]
My mom had a nigga at the age of fifteen
Was forced to drop out of school to take care of a king
She had a desire to sing …
[Intro]
Maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m na-na-na, na-na
Maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m older
[Verse 1]
Payphone calls, cigarettes, injuries, shower sex
I was holding on for dear life
Complicated, understated, …
Rebel heart…
Rebel heart…
I’ve lived my life like a masochist1
Hearing my father say,
‘Told you so, told you so!
Why can’t you be like the other girls?’2
I said, ‘Oh no, that’s not me
And I don’t think that it’ll ever be’3
Thought I belong to a different tribe
Walking alone, never satisfied, satisfied
Trying to fit in but it wasn’t me4
I said, ‘Oh no, I want more
That’s not what I’m looking for’5
So I took the road less traveled by6
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived7
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth
Of my rebel heart8
I’ve spent some time as a narcissist9
Hearing the others say,
‘Look at you, look at you!
Trying to be so provocative’10
I said, ‘Oh yeah, that was me’
All the things I did just to be seen.11
Outgrown my past and I’ve shed my skin
Letting it go and I’ll start again, start again12
Never look back, it’s a waste of time
I said, ‘Oh yeah, this is me
And I’m right here where I wanna be’13
I said, ‘Hell yeah, this is me
Right where I’m supposed to be’14
So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in my rebel heart
So I took the road less travelled by
And I barely made it out alive
Through the darkness somehow I survived
Tough love, I knew it from the start
Deep down in the depth
Of my rebel heart
Rebel heart…
Of my rebel heart
Rebel heart…
Of my rebel heart
Rebel heart…
Of my rebel heart
Rebel heart…15
A masochist is someone whose pleasure is derived from pain.
Madonna was a different type of girl, even as a youngster.
Madonna was prideful about being different. She didn’t mind it at all.
Madonna experimented with the possibilities of being like other girls who were her peers, but ultimately she decided against it.
One of the reasons Madonna was satisfied with not “fitting in” was that she was not attracted to the status quo. She was looking to define herself as an individual.
The “road less traveled by” is an allusion to a Robert Frost poem. It means “the way of living that most people do not choose.”
Madonna faced many challenges as she became decidedly different, but she was not beaten down by those challenges.
Madonna knew that she would get no sympathy or care as a rebellious girl.
A narcissist is someone infatuated with himself or herself.
Madonna claims that people misunderstood her as being rebellious for rebelliousness’ sake.
It is unclear whether Madonna is being sarcastic here. Was she different just for the attention or could she care less about the attention?
While being different required a great degree of pain, Madonna resolved to be resilient and move on.
Madonna says it’s important to live with no regrets.
Madonna demonstrates a lot of self-confidence. She likes who she is.
This song is about being confident about one’s uniqueness and differences.
