Pole.
The Unseen Heroes of Everyday Struggles
Pole.'s song "Héroes" delves into the complexities of human emotions and relationships, painting a vivid picture of love, heartbreak, and the search for truth. The lyrics reflect a journey through personal experiences, where the protagonist has both given and received love, often resulting in emotional turmoil. The line "Ya regalé cientos de flores, rompí un par de corazones" suggests a history of romantic gestures and heartbreaks, indicating a cycle of giving and receiving pain. This duality is further emphasized with the acknowledgment of being both the victim and the perpetrator of emotional damage.
The song also touches on the broader theme of generational anxiety and the struggle for authenticity. Pole. speaks to the courage of a generation often mislabeled as cowardly, highlighting the internal battles they face. The repeated refrain "No seremos héroes, solo presas del amanecer" underscores a sense of disillusionment, suggesting that they are not heroes but rather victims of their circumstances. This sentiment is compounded by the idea that truth is often right in front of us, yet we fail to recognize it, as expressed in "No encontraremos la verdad en otra gente, si la tenemos enfrente y no la queremos ver."
In the latter part of the song, the lyrics shift to a more personal narrative, exploring the complexities of a specific relationship. The protagonist grapples with misunderstandings and unreciprocated feelings, as seen in lines like "Que no entiendo tu forma de verme, que no entiendes mi forma de ser." This personal struggle is emblematic of the larger theme of seeking connection and understanding in a world that often feels disconnected. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with love, loss, and the search for meaning.
