Even as recently as this week Dave has said my hero is about ordinary everyday hero's, saying 'you dont have to be in kiss to be a hero'

But it has always been about jurt for me. Especially as the first thing I did upon finding out he was gone was to run away from the friend who told me and to tear the posters off my walls.
"Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out "

&
"Don’t the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out "
Sounds so like the "better to burn out than fade away" lyric kurt quoted. . .

But I just think that's circumstatial. It was one of those 'new songs' that the foo fighters created during warm ups on tour, at the time the words meant not much, but in hindsight say so very much.

Maybe on a subliminal level it is about Kurt, but dont think it was conciously written for him
