hero n villain duet (the question is who's who?)

backseat.vagabond on tiktok!
LYRICS! "hero" in ()
Chords repeat Dm, G7, Cmaj7, Am
(What are you doing, dear? Aren’t you tired?)
What are you doing here? I don’t think that you were invited.
Here you go again, pretending like you love me.
When just under the surface, you’re convinced that you’re above me.
(Dig deep, into the past, I’ve never been one for doing things half-assed
If I’m here to save you, I’ll be here forever.
Take my hand, I can be your knight in shining armor!)
You think you’re a hero!
And they’ll tell you you are
So stoic and handsome!
And you’ve come so far!
(You think you’re a villain
But I know you’re not!
Under all that angst and anger
Is a beating human heart)/Is a dying broken heart
Hey, what about the lonely little girls/(I’m sorry!)
What about her monsters who prevailed?/(I’m sorry!)
You never came to save my world!
What about me?/(What about us?)
(I recognize that you’re upset I know they did you wrong)/Oh you know nothing of me
(But trust me please believe me this won’t stop the hurt for long
We don’t need to end like this, look me in the eyes)/Here comes the hero complex
(You call yourself a villain but we know it’s a disguise)/I know I’m the villain, but you’re the one who lies
SO! You’re back at it again?
Twisting and manipulating every word I’ve said?
(C’mon you know that’s not true
I’m just trying to help you, let me help you!)
You are NOT MY HERO
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT FELT
WHAT ELSE COULD YOU DO WITH THE CARDS THAT I’VE BEEN DEALT
(You are not the villain,
You once held my hand)
Stand up. Get out. Sometimes things don’t go as planned.

[@Sarawarawara-]

I like to think of It as the unrealistic expectations everybody places on the hero without empathy. Almost like the hero and villain just resonated for once, “The what about us?!” Is the peak of It. Nobody thinks about the hero and villain (well that’s a lie people do think about the villain a lot but that’s not the main media anyways at least In their universe) they just sprung a connection between themselves but didn’t bring It further. And I like to believe when the “Dying broken heart” Is very prominent It’s more like an actions speak louder than words thing, the hero says a “A beating human heart” but inside the hero Is still suffering. The hero and villain connect the most In this song but they can’t show It, they just can’t and with It being the “hero” (we don’t know who’s who) who approached the villain first and the reference to a past relationship between them makes It feel like the hero has decided something along the lines of “I am expected to save everyone but the villain and myself, but to save myself like I want to I need to save the villain. I need them with me again to feel that happiness and satisfaction knowing that If I stop I’m not endangering everybody else.” To heroes It Is always ingrained In them that everybody else’s safety Is their priority and that’s their life. Two children of humanity forced to spend their lives on an endless stream of conflict for others, not to ever help themselves. An inherent disaster on both sides, I refer to them as children because their actions are manipulated by the public: the hero Is obligated and has It fed to their mind that their goal Is to stop all evil and succeed, the villain Is like a misguided child nobody tried to help, the only one who could has been forced against them because they stood up to their unethical actions once and now they’re expected to do It time and time again.

@@Ozloz ...neither of them are bad people. I feel like that's the furthest idea from the point. They are both doing their best with the cards they've been dealt (literally quoting the song here) and that's caused a big disparity in how they view the world/the people around them. At this point the "hero" isn't failing, the "villain" is refusing help--which is out of their control.

To me, this song is about a villain who became who they are because of the hero, who had attacked the villain while they were a child (unknowingly, of course). As the villain looks over the remains of their childhood that had been ended by the person they loved most, the hero questions what they're doing in a place of rubble, and that's how the song starts. The hero knew from the beginning that they were the reason the villain was who they were, but kept their mouth quiet in fear that the villain would hate them.

oooo my friend and I have an AU. About two women, The Hero and The Villain. The hero and the villain were bestfriends from the start. They promised to get married when they were older. But the hero became queen and left the villain behind. She pushed her away when she was being abused and abandoned by everyone around her. The villain was trying to tell the hero that she needs her help. But the hero pushed her away and shook it off as if it was nothing. The hero also ditched the villain for another woman who was in love with her. So yeah. Pain edit: the plot thickens. The villain’s whole point is to help others who have been misunderstood. She was seen as a villain so she became one. She simply gives them a home until they can get back on their feet. She cares for them. But they don’t know that she’s the “villain” she uses a different name for both sides. Her actual name, when it comes to helping others, and her villain name. She also helped the hero make her way to queen, she supported her and cheered her on. But was still pushed away. take the pain

The one a lot of people say is the "villain" honestly sounds like a victim to me. Like how the "hero" is implied to have treated them poorly before and the lines "so you're back at it again" in two parts of the song and then how the hero ignores what the villain is trying to say. Like how the villain says they feel manipulated and the hero's first response is to deny it and claim they're trying to help, which is manipulative behavior. Another example is when the villain is talking about their struggles and says "what about me?" But the hero says "what about us?" Dismissing the villain's feelings. I know this probably isnt what its supposed to be, but I just keep hearing it like this whenever I listen to it!

Not necessarily. Thats the protagonist. Light from death note, who's a villain who only kills from his view of justice, is the person who tells the story in the series, however, he is in no ways a hero.but you are right because in the same series, L can be just as manipulative as light can be. What defines a hero and villain are there sense of morals I guess? But even that thats a grey area. I guess a way to put it is, the hero is someone society deems as good and the villian society deems as bad. Another example of an anime no ones heard of called hakeden, the main villain lost her two sons due to society's system. She's still a horrible person, but our protagonist, shino, is always yelling at his freinds and not listening to them when they're trying to protect him. Not all heros are good and not all are bad :)

[@xgshwiainr]

[@whenyoufuckupthedetroitsma3450]

"I recognize that you’re upset." Tbh I feel like this is really powerful. Usually, someone would say, "I understand that you’re upset" but the hero didn't say that. While "understand" and "recognize" are synonyms, they can have different interpretations. I "understand" is like "Hey, I have gone through the same thing you're going through. I know what you're feeling. And that's why I'm here to help you." I "recognize" is like "Hey, I may have not gone through the same thing as you but I see that you're in a lot of pain. That's why I'm here to help you." IDK I just thought it was a nice detail in the song

[@alinsamano2570]

This is the reason why I'm so in love with the idea of a hero turned "villan" Heros are expected to choose the well-being of strangers or ,in some cases, humanity as a whole, over their own loved ones. If they choose others well-being they are only putting up a front for the public(like the message of the song). BUT if they do decide to protect their loved ones they are selfish. They can also get a lot of criticism for 'wrecking' cities or buildings (or anything like that) while SAVING THE WHOLE WORLD!? Like would you prefer the whole human race getting wiped out or just rebuilding physical objects? Or also like maybe a few casualties over saving whole cities? ( Like in the 'Avengers' franchise) So I'm honestly very down with the idea of heroes just "Alright screw it if you think I'm so horrible and can't do anything right, save yourselves" and mess up the world.

I can see two different versions: 1. The person on the right is the person viewed as the villian by society, but is attempting to assist people, especially those who are overlooked, like those who are abused or in the lower class. The person on the left is the person viewed as the hero by society. They are manipulative and care only about fame. 2. The person on the right is the villian, many of their words are lashing out or an attempt at gaslighting. They are hurting others because they feel others should feel their pain. The person on the left is the hero, they care about the person on the right, know of believe them to be suffering some type of breakdown. However, they don't seem to care about people at large, but are focusing exclusively on the person on the right.

[@Rachel-og8jy]

I’d bet that the “villain” sees it as 1, and the “hero” sees it as 2. Maybe both are true to some degree.

[@PGOuma]

I like 1 a lot

[@chezsrandombs]

Alternatively, neither are the villain and neither have done anything to gaslight or manipulate but the right one has imposter syndrome and the left one is trying to get them to realise their innocence, while the right slowly becomes more unstable and displaced their anger on their "hero" The "villain" has probably been hurt by people in the past and thinks the hero will do the same so the villain puts up a barrier. "Stop pretending that you love me" - someone probably did this to them in the past ❤

[@cockycookie1]

Why not both?

[@yay29823]

As much as I like the 1 a lot, the 2 gotta be my favorite hero and villain trope AND seems to really match what's happening on the video. Gotta add that the villain probably thinks number 1 is what's happening

[@aflooki]

i love this, its really "tropey" but i dont mean that in a bad way. its like the bare bones of a very common dynamic between hero and villain, of people who define themselves as such and the world defines them as such, but they don't really fit into them because they are people with emotions and flaws. the "hero" wants to bring the other one up and tell them they won't give up on them, but the other one wants to bring the hero down, like "you're no better than me" type deal. its the classic "we´re not so different after all" shtick. its weird how this feels like a very familiar narrative that many heroes and villains fit in one way or another, though i don't really remember reading or watching many stories where the main villain is the heros past lover but its perfect. it really adds a level of intensity to the struggle between them.

2:19 I love the word you used for the line: "I recognize that you're upset" That is arguably the most hurtful thing you can say to someone who experienced pain like this. You may recognize a person's pain, but due to the fact that you've never experienced it, you've isolated them by saying that you can't truly understand their point of view. You may be able to recognize Polish or Hindi or Igbo or Japanese or Cherokee, but if you can't understand the language, you can never know what the person who speaks that language is saying. Even if you can understand a few words and piece the puzzle together, your recreation will be like a child's drawing of the other person's masterpiece. You may get the major parts of the picture, but all the details that make up the artwork will be lost because you don't know. "Recognize" and "Understand" are two similar words with very different meanings in this setting. Recognition often pushes the two further apart. Understanding often bring them closer together.

I love how this song can get two opposite interpretations: 1) The one on the left is the hero and the one on the right is the villain. The hero has defeated the villain multiple times and everyone adores him for that. However he knows the villain isn’t actually evil, but rather misunderstood. He’s known it for a long time but just about this song starts is when he decides to go and make amends with the “villain”, but the villain is resentful because the hero put everyone against him without questioning and believes now it’s too late to make things right. 2) The one on the left is the villain and the one on the right is the hero. Long time ago, when both of them where just starting acting publicly, the hero offered the villain a chance to redeem himself but the villain took advantage and made everyone think the hero was actually the villain, twisting all the actions of both of them for his convenience. Now the hero is hiding at his “secret lair” with his spirit broken as everyone believes him to be the bad guy while he tries to save the day, all because of the lies of the villain. After maintaining the lie for a long time, the villain goes to confront the fallen hero, leaving to interpretation wether the villain is actually trying to fix things up or if he’s just mocking the hero with his “heroic fake personality”. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if his feeling on this song are true or not, the fallen hero no longer trust the deceiving villain Edit: OMG Guys what the actual... how did I got so many likes?! Anyway thanks for taking the time to read my little interpretations ;)

[@leehobbs3699]

I honestly love how you played the characters. Besides the emotion in “You are not my hero” and a lot of other lines, I love the dynamic the characters have. The “villain” is playing off the “hero”. When the hero tries to make a breakthrough the villain just makes a contradicting statement. I’ve already seen someone in the comments make this comparison, but it’s like trying to convince yourself not to commit suicide, and failing. It’s an inner conflict, as well as an outer one with your friends, family, S/O try to help you out of it.

i feel like the “villain” was abused, hurt, and bullied by others while the “hero” stood by and watched, not knowing what to do, scared to hurt, so never helped. the villain started to loose their sanity and was angry at the hero for never being there for them, and feels like the hero doesn’t care about them, because why would the hero leave them in hurt, if they really loved them? i don’t think there’s a hero or a villain, they’re both in the right, yet both wrong. it depends on the perspective you tell it from. the hero is selfish for leaving their friend to suffer and never helping, and the villain is selfish for taking their anger out on their friend.

Listening to this I was reminded less of a hero versus a villian, or protag v antag, and more of an internal conflict I used to have with myself quite often and that even now tends to resurface. On the one hand I know I'm not truly a bad person, but on the other, I must be awful because of all the mistakes I made and how long I went being a bad person with little consequence. I thought I was good and I wasn't, and now I've fallen into a semi apathetic state where I don't care anymore. And now the personal desires (perceived hero in the vid) are coming up again in a less toxic way but I don't trust them from the past and what it could cost to indulge. Honestly, this provided me with an oddly introspective look inward and helped me actualy verbalize some of the issues I have internally. I know it was a strange conclusion to draw from what is supposed to be a hero and villian song, but I couldn't help but voice my listening experience.

[@kylecyrus9457]

it feels more complex than just one of them being a villain. I'd say it's more the villain views themself as a villain and the hero as a hypocrite, meanwhile the hero views themselves as a hero and the villain as someone in need of rescuing. By the sounds of it they’re both half right, and ironically, they’re right about their opposite instead of themself. The hero's apologies and admittance to lying to try and save them reveals that they have indeed done some hypocritical things. On the other hand, the villain referring to themself as a villain shows that they're acting against their own conscience. I don’t know what happened but they’re actively working to hurt themself by doing something they themself consider evil, so they really do need saving. On top of that, the fact they can still recognize their acts as wrong means it's not too late to save them, unfortunately, with their shared history together and the hero's history with hypocrisy, it's almost impossible for them to be the villains hero; in fact, the harder they try, the more they push the villain to doing evil. I've taken to calling this reaction the Adora effect recently(props if you get the reference).

The villains parents died due to the hero not being able to save them, the hero has said their apologies so many times but the villain is too corrupted by anger and sadness. The villain believes that the only reason the hero is treated as such, is because other people believe that they are a hero. Because their past will forever haunt them.

It's always amazing to see people imagine their own world (i haven't seen any other comments where they aren't similar in age, or love interests, for that matter) but to me, this was a song where they're both hurt and have hurt each other. Deeply, they want things to work out between them but their convictions and beliefs are too different to allow so. If the only reason the villain had to hate the hero was cause he wasn't able to save their parents even though they probably felt awful about it, then it just makes the villain look petty....idk what I'm saying anymore, have a good day!

eh, I'm a bit confused who would be the hero and villian in that scenario, since while the song fits better as Steven being a villian since he was the one hurt by Rose, he's pretty much also the main hero of the story with the hero complex that tries to save everyone and Rose have done far more villianious things and so is framed more as the antagonist, but then the song doesn't really fit if he's the hero since he's the one that lost faith in her. In that way I'm a little confused.

[@aymathest9816]

@@sardonicus1739 people see roses development backwards in my opinion. She was built up to be this amazing person but was shown to have flaws and has done wrong. Think about it if we had seen her as a puny bratty diamond in the beginning and compare it to what she's done now we would have seen her in a different light. Pink was abused and mistreated by the other diamonds. People act like the other diamonds didn't do anything wrong either like straight up proofing their gems in a painful way and making them cry and it's obvious from topaz that they aren't happy. They are also shatter gems for doing the smallest things wrong and even stuff they couldn't control like the form they came out with. Although rose did cause bismuth pain she did it because she didn't want to hurt anyone and knew it was wrong to do. And as for garnet she was inspired by her and opened up into accepting fusions of different gems. It's also clear she didn't want Steven to end up with her problems and made that clear in storm in the room. I see white diamond as the one who caused the most pain as she said she did literally hurt everyone, even the other diamonds fear her like an abusive mom.

I made a little story, how I imagine the song playing out in my head. Camilla is an angel with short, blonde hair. Victoria is a demon with long, dark red hair. The two are meant to be dating in this story. The dialogue is the lyrics to the song. You don't have to agree with it, I just thought I'd post it here so others could enjoy it. The angel, Camilla, woke up, seeing she was alone without her demon lover. She walked through the room, finding the door to the balcony slightly ajar, the curtains flowing softly in the evening breeze. She walked through the doors, seeing the sad-looking demon who she knew was in bed with her when she fell asleep. "What are you doing, dear? Aren't you tired?" She quietly whispered to her lover. The demon, her long hair flowing in the breeze, head in her hand, elbow on the stone railing around the balcony, sighed and, without looking back at the girl she was so upset with, responded with "What are you doing here? I don't think you were invited." Victoria turned to face her girlfriend, part of her hair falling over her shoulder. "Here you go again, pretending like you love me, when just beneath the surface, you're convinced you're above me," she threatened. Camilla's eyes widen slightly before she responded to her lover with "Dig deep I to the past. I've never been one for doing things half-assed. If I'm here to save you, I'll be here forever. Just take my hand, I'll be your knight in shining armor." She smiled sweetly, knowing she had her girlfriend's full attention as she extended her hand for the demon to grab. Victoria giggled as she spoke. "You think you're a hero?" The demon continued, placing a hand on her hip in annoyance. "And they'll tell you, you are so stoic and handsome, and you've come so far!" she said, smirking mockingly. Camilla took a breath, having seen this behavior before, but not from her girlfriend. "You think you're a villain... But I know you're not. Under l that angst and anger," Victoria continued without her, the two speaking in unison. "Is a beating, human heart," Camilla finished, while Victoria rebelled with "is a dying, broken heart!" Thinking back to her life when she was still human, Victoria attacked Camilla with the memories she couldn't save the young Victoria from. "Hey, what about the lonely little girl?" She growled, practically spitting venom at the woman she once loved more than anything. "I'm sorry," Camilla barely managed to get out before Victoria continued. "What about her monsters who prevailed?" She shifted her weight from one leg to the other, her tipped tail flicking as she did. "I'm sorry!" Camilla shouted, refusing to show any hint of regret or pain from the memories she secretly hated. The beautiful demon sighed, wishing she could forget her entire childhood. "You never came to save my world," she mumbled under her breath. "What about me?" She scowled, unaware the angel in front of her had tried to say "What about us?" At the same time she protested. The angel took her demon lover's hands, looking directly into her light eyes. "I recognize that you're upset," she said with such a caring tone, "I know they did you wrong." Victoria pushed the angel back, shouting back, "oh, you know nothing of me!" She was now floating inches above the ground, using her bat-like wings to hover in place. "Trust me! Please, believe me! This won't stop the hurt for long!" Camilla begged. She looked up at the demon, now towering over her, with tears in her eyes. "We don't need to end like this. Look me in the eyes-" she was cut off by the demon in front of her. "Here comes the hero complex!" She said, feeling more and more pestered by the minute. "You call yourself a villain," Camilla began, overlapping Victoria as she mirrored her and said "I know I'm the villain," with a scowl. Camilla didn't stop, continuing with "but we know it's a disguise." Just as Victoria finished her own like with "but you're the one who lies!" Victoria's wings flapped faster in her frustration. "So, you're back at it again? Twisting and manipulating every word I've said." She threatened, her feet now nearly a foot off the stone floor under her. Camilla sank to her knees. "Come on, you know that's not true," she pleaded, "I was just trying to help you. Let me help you!" She insisted, Victoria suddenly landing in front of her, her wings spread in such a way it made her appear far bigger and dangerous than she truly ever has been. With tears starting to spill from her eyes, she screamed "you are not my hero!" She took a breath, lowering her volume. "You don't know how it felt," she choked out, turning back to face the night sky and fresh air, her back now to her lover. She had made up her mind, both of her hands rising to stroke the hair over her shoulder, the remaining hair resting between her wings. "What else could you do with the cards that I've been dealt?" Victoria mumbled, placing one hand on the stone railing in front of her. "You are not the villain," the breaking voice of the angel soothed, "you once held my hand." Victoria sighed, raising her head slightly, her decision having been made. "Stand up. Get out." Her head lowered again, knowing how much just her words would hurt the woman she loved. "Sometimes, things don't go as planned." She placed one foot on the railing, using it to take off into the night sky. Tears streaming down her cheeks, she had decided that she would never see Camilla again. After all, a demon could never be with an angel.

I imagine this as it being sung by the same person the younger nieve self being the hero and the older one who has been through some stuff as the villain

[@calamity2383]

That could be interesting

[@sarahmadery3601]

yoooooo

@@togahimiko1381 ive seen a few videos that do that, as Tōya and Dabi talking to each other, and tbh it breaks my heart but it fits way to fucking well and I honestly adore it. Also, their song “Go Take a Swan Dive off the Roof of the Building” has hardcore Kacchan and Deku vibes (I mean OBVIOUSLY) and like I just..I love them both way too much and just imagining it is Izuku’s internal monologue when thinking of Katsuki alone and shit. Idk I’m rambling now, but yeah :)

[@arandomtoad480]

I love the regal tone of the "hero". It just adds to the hero complex of the character. And I just live for the line "Twisting and manipulating every word I said". The way you sing it it just so verbally satisfying.

[@sweetievonbonbon7384]

I love the emotion you can hear in her voice.

[@stafey7659]

Nobody’s talking about the line “Hey what about the lonely little girls” What happened who are they and how are they relevant to it, maybe the hero at one point allowed them to die putting one of his own friends above civilian lives this might have been what sparked the villain into doing what they do

[@alexfuller2865]

There it’s always someone lonely and yet they keep on trying to save the person who already fallen to deep into there own darkness to be saved and yet the lonely people will soon fall to it is a never ending thing! That is just the hard truth.It’s sad!

[@yufaelia]

I thought it was them mocking the hero because hero's are stereotypically shown saving little girls when they're not stereotypically shown saving a city, but that's a nice way to put relevance to the line if that makes sense :)

[@stafey7659]

@@yufaelia then why the I’m sorry! I’m not insulting I’m just asking why do you think the hero said it if that’s the case? Maybe guilt over saving little girls and city’s instead of their own (insert whatever villain is to them)

[@chrisarnett4707]

It is actually “what about the lonely, little girl?” meaning that the “villain” is actually referring to themselves, it is then followed by “ what about her monsters who prevailed, you never came to save my world.” Therefore showing the villain means themself. This is what that line meant

[@yufaelia]

@@stafey7659 Ah, thinking about it now, I don't have any idea on why the hero would be saying that if that were the case. Though I do think it's funny to think of the villain being like "go save someone's daughter from a fire or something; fuck off >:/" but hey, that's one more theory added to the pile.

[@euphyx2890]

My guess: They were both “villains” on the same side and were both friends. Till the girl on the left went over to the “good” side behind the girls back. And the girl on the left is trying to convince her that she’s sorry and bring her to the good side, but the girl on the right is already “broken” and won’t come over to the side. Long story short, *Catradora*

[@BatdadIsBestDad]

Did u just said catradora?

[@olisliwinska3254]

Bruh you did not just straight up pulled out catradora card like that bdjsjdjsksks

[@euphyx2890]

[@user-fy7dy7cq9g]

“You are not my hero!” I never felt so similar to a quote

[@sheeky2310]

Hero: You think you are the villain...But i know that you're not Me if i were the villain: Understandable have a great day

[@elenaferrajoli7902]

YESSSS

[@MegaMattGirl]

Oh my fuck yOU RIGHT!!

[@fag1626]

WHAT I THOUGHT THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT

[@soha069]

I know right!! The last "sometimes things don't work out," could suit so well when in seaspn 1 finale, Catra let's go of Adora and gives her the sword. Lmao I am actually working on an animatic for she ra with this song ✨

[@Anfilkins]

I wanna say by the manipulative tactics used in the beginning the one on the left is the villain, then tries to make the other feel like they don't deserve to feel sad. Making them feel like they are sad for no reason and they are really trying to help. But the one on the right knows they are being manipulative and tries to make them realize that they aren't swayed. But has to act like the villain to get that through to the left side.

[@boxofbugs2292]

I did see the manipulative tactics but came to a completely different conclusions. The right was so gas lighty. The left tries to hard to help the right and they keep telling them they arent help and will never understand. Putting the blame on the left for everything going wrong in their life

[@mary-janellevillanueva7166]

this feels like a musical song

[@secretmoonpig585]

The CHILLS you get when listening to this are amazing!
