'Anti-Hero' is a song about the failures of neoliberalism to address rising fascism

The subject of the song is liberalism and the liberal status quo.

[Verse 1]I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiserMidnights become my afternoonsWhen my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the peopleI've ghosted stand there in the room

{ this opening verse is about the how liberals are subconsciously haunted by their victims in the imperial periphery and global south, unable to admit the historical materialist analysis of their political ideology }

[Pre-Chorus]I should not be left to my own devicesThey come with prices and vicesI end up in crisis(Tale as old as time)I wake up screaming from dreamingOne day, I'll watch as you're leaving'Cause you got tired of my scheming(For the last time)

{ This is about how liberalism offers no real alternative to the status quo, only a march towards fascism, and how real progressive political ideology starts to recognize this, abandoning liberalism in the face of these faults }

[Chorus]It's me, hiI'm the problem, it's meAt teatime, everybody agreesI'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirrorIt must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

{ this is about Trump staring at the sun, but the media/Dems unable to admit how they elevated him to the presidency }

[Verse 2]Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy babyAnd I'm a monster on the hillToo big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite cityPierced through the heart, but never killed

{ pedos and the ruling class are united in liberalism and the destruction of the working class }

[Pre-Chorus]Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruismLike some kind of congressman?(A tale as old as time)I wake up screaming from dreamingOne day, I'll watch as you're leavingAnd life will lose all its meaning(For the last time)

{ Both parties are liberal, they just puts on different masks of altruism to cover their vile shared nature, revolution is the only alternative }

[Chorus]It's me, hiI'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)At teatime, everybody agreesI'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirrorIt must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

{ liberalism maintains the status quo while claiming to be the only savior, VOTE! }

[Bridge]I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the moneyShe thinks I left them in the willThe family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out"She's laughing up at us from Hell"

{ even through revolution, liberalism is irredeemable, it must be killed, and it's tools abandoned if we are to escape its hell world }

[Breakdown]It's me, hiI'm the problem, it's meIt's me, hiI'm the problem, it's meIt's me, hiEverybody agrees, everybody agrees

{ the masses are starting to see the necessity of revolution as inevitable }

[Chorus]It's me, hi (Hi)I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirrorIt must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
