Tantric is a post-grunge band from Louisville, Kentucky, that was formed by three former members of Days of the New, Jesse Vest, Todd Whitener, and Matt Taul, with the addition of Merge singer, Hugo Ferreira. They were signed to Maverick Records in 1999, and recorded their self-titled debut with producer, Tobey Wright in 2000. The record was released in February 2001, which debuted at #193 on the Billboard 200. The record eventually went platinum, largely on the strength of the single "Breakdown" and the band's extensive touring with the likes of Kid Rock and Creed. Follow-up singles "Astounded" and a remixed version of "Mourning" also fared well.

Hero Lyrics

Tantric

Before you go, just listen
And I'm sorry
For all the things I've done to you
You know that I'm sorry
For all the things I've put you through

You see I
You see I never did realize
How it must have felt in your eyes
Complacency was my disguise
Until the day that I found you
Will I ever see the day
When I turn around and say
Things shouldn't be this way
But all I know is
I feel all alone

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend

Do you remember
The way it used to be
I know you remember
Maybe we could make it real

You see I never did realize
How it must have felt in your eyes
Complacency was my disguise
Until the day that I found you
Will I ever see the day
When I turn around and say
Things shouldn't be this way
But all I know is
I feel all alone

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend

Before you go, listen to the things I have to say
Before you judge, don't you let your pain judge me this way
Before you leave, give me just a second to explain
All the things I'm feeling inside

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend
