    I think it's basically about someone going through a pretty tough time, and everything's not going their way. They're makin' mistakes, feelin' pretty down... But they're trying to get through it. They're not giving up. Though, I also think that it's trying to say that just one guy going through all this alone makes him a hero. He may feel like he's not doing so great, but he doesn't realize that he's a hero ("Unsuspecting Hero") for trying to make it through and get past it.

    This makes me sad because it reminds me a little bit of how my life is. But also, it makes me feel strong enough to move on and keep working, fighting and learning about humanity and good.

    Guys the correct lyrics are here :)
    Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor
    Got all of my papers out and read them
    Seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long
    Yeah, the desert can be hot if you're wasted
    Took a stab in the dark and missed again I believe
    The hardest part is not seein' what I used to see
    My faith grew to a top but worry does all it can
    To whisper in both my ears make-believe stories
    Where are my friends now?
    They're not around when I need them
    I cannot pretend
    I find myself against all the odds again
    Well I like to think I'm strong and then I'm proven wrong
    Grab the keys to my car and go to work again
    Yeah showed up late, got screamed in my face
    Turn around, I'm punch drunk, but I'm laughin'
    Got some thoughts in my chest, they're playin' games with my head
    Ten hours of sleep, I'm in my bed again
    Scream up to my God, say, "I do what I can"
    How am I gonna move on from this circumstance?
    Where are my friends now?
    They're not around when I need them
    I cannot pretend
    I find myself against all the odds again
    Yeah, yeah
    I'm against all the odds again
    [x4]

    @yellowmesh7821 12 лет назад

    i think this song is about mark moving to the city leaving everything behind leaving his friends and not been used to see the things in the city like those odds and then getting jobs where he was not happy like (mophonics) and his drug using, and at the end he wanted to leave but he stayed becoming an unsuspected hero because he saved himself and fight trough everything

    "Oh! I know Pumped Up Kicks! I LOVE them!"
