Heroes
Alesso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We go hide away in daylight
We go undercover, wait out the sun
Got a secret side in plain sight
Where the streets are empty, that's where we run

Everyday people do everyday things but I
Can't be one of them
I know you hear me now, we are a different kind
We can do anything

We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be

Anybody's got the power
They don't see it 'cause they don't understand
Spin around and 'round for hours
You and me, we got the world in our hands

Everyday people do everyday things but I
Can't be one of them
I know you hear me now, we are a different kind
We can do anything

We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be

We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be

All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and a little light
We could be
All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and a little light

We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Heroes" by Alesso speaks about two people who have a secret side, a side that they keep away from the normalcy of everyday life. They go into hiding, wait out for the sun and run away into the empty streets. The song is about feeling different and acknowledging those differences. It's about believing that anyone can possess power, but not everyone understands it or sees it. The song suggests that there's a world of opportunities waiting for them, and they can do anything they set their minds to.


The lyrics convey a sense of escapism, which is very relatable to most people. The idea of having a secret side, running away from responsibilities, and escaping from the monotony of everyday life can be empowering. The chorus of the song, "We could be heroes, me and you", emphasizes that anyone can be a hero, and we don't need to be extraordinary to achieve that status. The song encourages people to be who they are, to embrace their individuality, and to enjoy life to the fullest.


Line by Line Meaning

We go hide away in daylight
We often retreat from the world to be alone


We go undercover, wait out the sun
We keep our true selves hidden from society


Got a secret side in plain sight
We have a hidden personality that only some can see


Where the streets are empty, that's where we run
We seek isolation in deserted places


Everyday people do everyday things but I
We feel different from the norm


Can't be one of them
We refuse to fit into society's expectations


I know you hear me now, we are a different kind
We recognize that we are unique and special


We can do anything
We have the power and ability to achieve great things


We could be heroes
We have the potential to be extraordinary


Me and you
Together, we can do anything


Anybody's got the power
Anyone has the capability to make a change


They don't see it 'cause they don't understand
Most people are unaware of their own abilities


Spin around and 'round for hours
People often waste time on meaningless things


You and me, we got the world in our hands
Together we have the power to change the world


All we're looking for is love and a little light
We are seeking connection and positivity in our lives

We go hideaway in daylight
We go undercover when under sun
Got a secret side in plain sight
Where the streets are empty
That's where we run

Everyday people do
Everyday things but I
Can't be one of them
I know you hear me now
We are a different kind
We can do anything

We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you, we could be

Anybody's got the power
They don't see it
'Cause they don't understand
Spinnin' around and run for hours
You and me we got the world in our hands

Everyday people do
Everyday things but I
Can't be one of them
I know you hear me now
We are a different kind
We can do anything

We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you, we could be

We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you, we could

All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and a little light
We could be
All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and a little light

We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you, we could be
