Sister Heroine" is a song by American singer-songwriter Beth Hart. It's a song from her album "War In My Mind" which was released in 2019. The song is written by Beth Hart and is a powerful ballad that tells the story of a woman who is struggling with addiction and the impact it has on her relationships, specifically with her sister. The lyrics are raw and emotional, and Hart's vocal delivery is both powerful and vulnerable.
The song describes the addiction of the protagonist( Her sister ) and how it's destroying her relationship with her family , who were trying to save her. The lyrics paints a vivid picture of the protagonist's descent into addiction and the way it's tearing her family and her sister apart. The word "heroine" is used to describe the protagonist ( sister), perhaps in a way that the protagonist sees herself, as someone who is in control, but in reality, she is a victim of her addiction.
The use of the word "heroine" creates a dichotomy, a dichotomy that leads the listener to realise it is ( the song ) the. powerful use of one word that adds depth and nuance to the song's lyrics.
Heroine not heroin assigns the same meaning at the exact time to the life story of her sister , a sister who’s life is not defined by only by the ravages of addiction
But is a life built of its component actions and memories .. of a life before addiction the human being beneath the illness and before it’s grip on her life .
an insight into the love of a family , of forgiveness and ultimately the Price paid by all .
