...is an amazing song by Set Your Goals. About 3 months ago, I really started getting into this punk/hardcore band from Nor Cal. Now, I think I'm obsessed with a bunch of their songs, but this one in particular has definitely hit the spot. The song is pretty much about people you once looked up to not being the same person they were. To better explain it, Matt Wilson, one of the vocalists of the band, says this about the song:
"This song is about placing your complete trust in someone who has the most important part of your life in their hands and the harsh learning experience you can endure as a result of that trust. As a band we have encountered some people we've looked up to with a great amount of respect long before meeting them only to find that respect to be unshared, and a lack of reciprocation in the sincerity and commitment we'd invested in them developed, as we watched them fall from grace before our eyes. In doing so, their true intentions were unmasked. It hurts to learn that someone who once lived up to a high set of moral values proves only to let you down in a matter you would have never thought imaginable. Sometimes first impressions can be quite deceiving. There is a lesson to be learned in all of this: Never place anyone on a pedestal, peel away the facade and see people for what they really are. Never have heroes, become your own hero."
Beautiful words. Definitely go check out this song.
