SONG MEANING

Soprano and Indila imagine hopping into a time-machine with the powers of Hiro Nakamura, the time-bending hero from the series Heroes. With that gift, they would rush through history like superheroes: stopping plane crashes, saving icons like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X or Lady Diana, cheering Mandela up in his jail cell, watching Mohamed Ali’s legendary fight in Kinshasa, jamming at Woodstock with Jimi Hendrix, and even preventing tragic global events such as 9/11. Each lyrical snapshot blends pop-culture, personal memories and world history, creating a whirlwind of “what if” moments that feel both epic and deeply human.

Yet the song’s playful wish-list hides a bittersweet truth. After dreaming of rewriting the past, Soprano finally sighs on his 30th birthday and admits we can only live in the present. "Hiro" becomes a reminder that, while we cannot change yesterday or control natural disasters like tsunamis and hurricanes, we can act today with empathy, courage and hope. The track is a vibrant invitation to learn from history’s joys and wounds, then use that knowledge to make our own brief moment in time count.
