about

(ANTI)HERO was inspired by my need to be seen for my flaws sometimes instead of always my strengths. My need for help is often overlooked, because I am the “strong friend.” I’m the one everyone comes to when they are in crisis. Although I am flattered by their trust and respect for me as “that friend,” I want them (and the world) to understand that I am not always strong, and can’t always play a “savior” role. I’m flawed, I have a dark side, and more importantly, I’m human. I need someone to ask me “are you okay” or “do you need any help” sometimes, too.

This song was written for all the “strong friends.” You are seen.

lyrics

I don’t wear this cape for you
Won’t destroy a whole city to get to you
I don’t wanna be your very first call
From this pedestal I’m bound to fall
Oh I can feel it the pressure’s on
Baby I can’t be your all in all
I’m Wonder and a Woman in uniform
But if you don’t run now, I’ll bring the Storm

I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero
There’s a darkness takin' on my soul
I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero
‘Cause I need some savin' of my own

You’re gonna wish you never met me (uh huh)
Wish you would have let me be (I'm a nightmare)
Not sorry to have disappointed you
But I do think the truth is overdue
I come with way too many issues
Both current and back, a saga or two
This a limited series you’re thumbin' through
And at the end of it all, the villain is you

I can’t be your hero baby (I can't be your hero)
I can’t be your hero (I don't wanna be your hero)
There’s a darkness takin' on my soul (there's a darkness takin' over)
I can’t be your hero baby (I can't be your hero)
I can’t be your hero (I don't wanna be your hero)
‘Cause I need some savin' of my own (I need some savin', come save me)

Here we are this is the end
You‘re left with a broken heart to mend
I really tried to tell you just who I am (who I am)
But you didn’t really seem to give a damn (didn't give a damn)
You better run run run as fast as you can (you better run)
This didn’t go the way that you planned
You better run run run as fast as you can
Cuz my Venom will devour your Spider-Man

I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero (I can't be your hero)
There’s a darkness takin' on my soul (there's a darkness, it's takin' over)
I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero (I can't, I just can't)
‘Cause I need some savin' of my own (I need some savin' of my own)

I can’t be your hero baby (is anybody listenin'?)
I can’t be your hero (I'm not a hero)
There’s a darkness takin' on my soul (is anybody listenin'?)
I can’t be your hero baby
I can’t be your hero (don't wanna be your hero baby)
‘Cause I need some savin' of my own (I'm an Anti-hero)

about

Élishia Sharie Los Angeles, California

Electrifying, daring, and hypnotizing are just a few words used to describe Neo Alternative Rock artist Élishia Sharie.

Élishia Sharie effortlessly synthesizes elements of 80’s classic rock with 90’s alt rock to create an aggressive, cross-generational sound that she contrasts with a soulful vocal reminiscent of Tina Turner and Betty Davis. ... more
