"Helvellyn is the name of one of the biggest mountains in the UK. When i’d just turned 18 back in 2013 I went on a big camping trip/hike with my closest friends up that mountain, but I was in a really fragile mental state around that time. I had a pretty bad, embarrassing breakdown midway through the trip and had to go home, and it left a really big mark on me that I hadn’t really tried to unpack before until this past year." - Former Hero

✨ Lyrics
It’s morning
We’re out here aren’t we?
Living our youth out in real time
Is this who I am now?
I’m so tired
I didn’t sleep last night
My brain didn’t let me
I promise i’ll be better later

I said it before, i’ll say it again
I don’t think that i’m really meant to be a friend
I don’t think i’m really meant to be much of anything to anyone and
I don’t mean it like that, I promise it’s me
I should’ve spent this weekend with my family
Not bringing all my weather out above me
I’ve gotta go home

(i just want you to be happy)

I just wanna know why I have lost my head
I just wanna know if there’s a common thread
Overwhelmed by the peaks, lost in thought
Helvellyn, take me home.

Leave me on helvellyn,
Watching as you go
Leave me on helvellyn,
Watch me fade to ghost
Leave me on helvellyn,
I stumble and i choke
Leave me on helvellyn,
I cry the whole way home

(look at you, connecting dots that don’t exist. Fading out, existentialist)

You need to go home

I just wanna know why I have lost my head
I just wanna know if there’s a common thread
Overwhelmed by the peaks, lost in thought
Helvellyn, take me home.

"The song is written about a pretty bleak moment of last year when I was drinking very heavily. My friends were pretty worried about me, but I didn’t want to talk about it. Foxgloves are a super beautiful, almost unreal-looking flower that also happens to be extremely poisonous, so it felt like a good nonsense word to use as a distraction from the actual issues I was facing at the time." - Former Hero

✨ Lyrics
We talk about Foxgloves

We talk foxgloves, planted in row
All the while i’ll ignore the problem
I’ll get so drunk I can barely make it home
I need your help but i can’t ask so,

We talk foxgloves, planted in row
All the while i’ll ignore the problem
I’ll get so drunk I can barely make it home
I need your help but i can’t ask so,

We talk foxgloves, planted in row
All the while i’ll ignore the problem
I’ll get so drunk I can barely make it home
I need your help but i can’t ask so,

We talk foxgloves, Slurring my words
All this beauty just makes me worse
I’ll get so drunk I don’t wanna go home
I know i’m leaving soon so,
We talk about foxgloves.

"To me, a ‘gone dream’ is a dream about somebody who isn’t in your life anymore, and about how those dreams tend to either lean into being incredibly sad or incredibly comforting. I think there’s a beauty in the idea of being able to have these powerful, emotional experiences in your sleep, how you’re able to carry these people with you." - Former Hero

✧ Lyrics
I saw you again
In another Gone Dream
It felt so real
You were floating above me

And I felt my roots upend and suspend 
Then i sink to the floor
Sink to the earths core.
And you spoke so quietly 
The words were lost but the feeling was there
Then i’m home
I’m awake, it’s morning
You’re gone

But I love you. I love you so much
Thank you for this brief embrace
But I Love you, I love you so much
While i’m drifting back to awake

✧ Lyrics
Sun pierces the leaves
Float by the riverside
Nothing’s where it should be
I’m not who I used to be

Homesickness set in
But I never left
I’m just trailing on and on
(and on and on)

The world’s too bright
And i’m too tired
To feel the same.

I just wanna fit in frame for once
I’m in those photos but i’m not
Just a vacant stare in the distance
Letting tourists choose my name
Just let me in frame.
Just let me in frame.
Just let me in frame

And I see you winding down
And I feel like there’s no time
So i’ll sing your name forevermore
And I hope that you’ll sing mine.

Just let me in frame

I wanna see forward
But the tape cassette wont mend
I’m tired of the distortion
I’ll never be my friends
My earth is drying up
And I just can’t comprehend
So pass me the remote
And I’ll seek to end.

✧ Lyrics
There’s a place in my town I wanted to bring you to
A forest with a beating heart and morning dew

I need to know if you’re here right now
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Bite my lip before you float back home
I want you to feel me every night
Just as much as I feel you there

Surround me
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Fingertip to Fingertip now
I learned a lot about leaning into the feeling
And letting go in the summer heat
Holding hands despite my fears
Getting closer everyday
All encompassed by his heart so
Surround me
Surround me

Surround me
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Surround me
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Fingertip to Fingertip now

✧ Lyrics
Hey
I’m going overboard
The ocean made it’s call
And i’m what it’s looking for

Lets go
Lets see who swims best
I went rogue
Severed my life vest

You and I
Are one in the same
So why am I
Caught under the waves?
Drifting out
I wanted to be saved
So why are you
At the shore just the same?

Lets go
Lets see who swims best

✧ Lyrics
I spent the last year in suspension
Harrowed by the thought
Of opening my blinds
Letting go of lesser times
Now it’s gone.

You’re better off.

Could you come and rest with me
Even just for the moment?
And I don’t think there’s a point to this
To chasing momentary bliss
Feeling like I can’t exist
Fuck the world, I will persist, I’m alive

Could you come and rest with me?

Do you regret the cold
That swallowed up your temple?
Swaying back and forth.
Never quite on time
Never quite your tempo
But you keep to it anyway.
Did you not learn to walk
Before you learned to swim?
You’re drowning out there, kid.
We’re never quite who we are,
Maybe that’s okay
We’re better off ourselves

You’re better off
Dreaming of
The viaduct
