Weezer - Hero
When I was a kid, I thought I'd save the world
小的時候 以為自己將來會拯救世界
Running 'round and chasing all the criminals
走透透追捕所有罪犯
Swinging on a web, flying in the sky
用蜘蛛絲在空中飛盪
Shooting lasers from my eyes
從眼中射出雷射
But now I know it never was my destiny
但現在我知道這並不是我的天命
It's not my place in life, not who I'm meant to be
不是我人生的定位 不是我註定成為的人
And I don't need the glory, I don't need the fame
而我不需要無謂的榮譽 不需要名氣
And I don't wanna wear this cape
更不想穿著英雄必備的披風
'Cause on the inside (On the inside), I know it won't last
因為在我內在(我的內在) 我知道這不會長久
On the inside (On the inside), I'm an outcast
在我的內在 (我的內在) 我是個邊緣人
Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
好吧 所有人都需要個英雄 但我不屬於所有人啊
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Oh yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
你懂的 我試過當個英雄 但只是自欺欺人罷了
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
所以我我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Oh yeah
They build you up and then they're gonna tear you down
人們將你塑造後又將你拆卸
They love you, then they hate you if you wear a crown
人們愛戴著你 卻又因你頭上的皇冠而憎恨著你
It's not that I don't love to solve a mystery
並不是我不喜歡解決這些謎題
But life is hard enough with one identity
但人的一生光是維持一種樣貌就夠辛苦了
If silence is the voice of a new generation
如果寂靜是全新的世代的聲音
Then I could live up to all of your expectations
那我將得以實現你們所有的期盼
I'd hammer down hard, like I'm Iron Fist
我會像鐵拳俠般 用力敲響拳頭
Then disappear like I don't exist
然後消失得無影無蹤
'Cause on the inside (On the inside), I know it won't last
因為在我內在(我的內在) 我知道這不會長久
On the inside (On the inside), I'm an outcast
在我的內在 (我的內在) 我是個邊緣人
Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
好吧 所有人都需要個英雄 但我不屬於所有人啊
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Oh yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
你懂的 我試過當個英雄 但只是自欺欺人罷了
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
所以我我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Oh yeah
Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh
英雄 oh oh oh oh
Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh
英雄 oh oh oh oh
Well, everybody needs a hero, but I'm not everybody else
好吧 所有人都需要個英雄 但我不屬於所有人啊
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Oh yeah
You know, I tried to be a hero, but I was lying to myself
你懂的 我試過當個英雄 但只是自欺欺人罷了
I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, yeah, I walk alone, oh, yeah
所以我我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Yeah 我獨自走著 Oh yeah

Weezer即將於今年推出的"Van Weezer"專輯於5/6釋出第二支單曲"Hero"，
這首歌是主唱Rivers的自白，
對於他身為知名樂團主腦所背負的雙重身分的想法，
在1994同名專輯獲得巨大成功後，
1996年的"Pinkerton"專輯卻獲得非常糟糕的評價，
Rivers無法承受歌迷與樂評無情地批評所帶來的壓力，
所以直到1998年都飽受抑鬱的情緒困擾，
他甚至當著唱片公司與團員面前撕毀合約，
把房間全部漆成黑色，
而後他花了好幾周的時間研究流行樂，
並將其元素融入到他們的搖滾樂中，
因此一直到2001年才推出讓它們重回市場的第三張專輯"the Green Album"。
所以在這首歌可以看到Rivers的掙扎，
關於創作與市場，
與歌迷之間的拉拔，
也表明了他並不想成為誰(歌迷)的英雄，
他並不喜歡這種表裡不一(搖滾巨星/普通人)的生活，
如果可以他寧願消失的無影無蹤。
另外從歌詞看來，
Rivers似乎對Marvel的超級英雄蠻熟悉的嘛(笑)。
最後MV中可以看到Rivers親手寫了封信給所有對抗武漢肺炎的第一線人員，
全文如下：
"Whether you run emergency supplies on electric
golf carts or translate English for someone who doesn’t speak it,
we thank you.
Whether you man computers or pick up phones,
answer questions and concerns or route people here and there,
we thank you.
Whether you donate pillows and blankets or give money,
we thank you.
To those lacking proper face masks, risking their health for the greater good,
we thank you.
While the rest of us retreated to our homes,
you ran towards the threat in a battle you didn’t even know you signed up for.
Your bravery and selflessness are awe-inspiring.
You are the reason we shall rock another day.
Life is good, and for all of this, we thank you"
