The tune premiered on BBC Radio 1’s Rock Show. Here’s what the vocalist, Elijah Witt, said about it:
This song is about watching all of our idols and heroes fall. Sometimes, their lives end. And other times, you just see someone you’ve held on a pedestal fall off. Heroes die—every time.
[Intro]
What do I have to do to be like you
Idols in the sky
I feel so close to breaking though
All I have to do is die
[Verse 1]
I've been chasing the dragon with all my time
Tripping on constellations to find my sight
In the moment of comedown I realize
[Chorus]
All my heroes are dead now
Barely seven feet down, down
[Verse 2]
I've been screaming for years to spit this out
With my mouth off the bottle I relapse in doubt
Coming down from the comedown is when I realize
[Chorus]
All my heroes are dead now
Barely seven feet down down
[Bridge]
I'll meet you in the grave
[Chorus]
All my heroes are dead now
Barely seven feet down down
[Outro]
If I were to die right now, would I join them in the ground?
