Description
Sometimes it's up to the villains to save the world. For those who have already been burned, burned out and are now walking through the ashes of their own feelings - with sarcasm instead of a cloak and with resentment instead of superpower. He seems to be a bad guy, but only because he spent too long trying to be good. Now he just honestly admits: it hurts, it’s offensive, he’s tired - and in general, that’s enough.
There is a lot of heat in this sound - not from heroism, but from internal overheating. The same one when the heart smokes and the mind whispers: “let go.” And suddenly everything becomes almost calm - not victory or defeat, just a period. Because even those who save others sometimes run out of energy.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Hey, I'm the bad guy here to save the day. I'm a superhero but in my own way.
How you could never see it was a damn shame. It's too much pain.
So we both don't want it, the love went toxic. Now it's hey, hey, hey, it's okay, ay, ay.
And we're not in love, we know the time has come. I can't stay, ay, ay.
I won't wait, ay, ay.
I died inside, left here all on my own.
Our love was done with the fate that you wrote.
I tried but why'd you like to hurt me though?
You say I'm too fake and I'm just a joke.
Hey, I'm the bad guy here to save the day. I'm a superhero but in my own way.
How you could never see it was a damn shame. It's too much pain.
So we both don't want it, the love went toxic.
Now it's hey, hey, hey, it's okay, ay, ay.
And we're not in love, we know the time has come. I can't stay, ay, ay. I won't wait, ay, ay. So
I'm gone now, both of us just lost out on the best thing ever. Hope you find someone better today.
This way is not so much pain and it's a-okay that we both have changed, babe.
Hey,
I'm the bad guy here to save the day.
I'm a superhero but in my own way.
How you could never see it was a damn shame. It's too much pain.
So we both don't want it, the love went toxic. Now it's hey, hey, hey, it's okay, ay, ay.
And we're not in love, we know the time has come. I can't stay, ay, ay.
I won't wait, ay, ay. All along.
All along.
Like a curse, you're the worst.
You told me how I loved you with every word you said.
And this is how the story ends.
