Heroes
Alesso/Tove Lo 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 to Alesso and Tove Lo's song "Heroes" speak to the idea of having a hidden, secret side that is only revealed during times of darkness, isolation, or when one goes "undercover." The song emphasizes the idea that not everyone is the same, and that some people have the power to do extraordinary things. The chorus encourages the listeners to believe that they, too, can be heroes.


The lyrics suggest that the world can be a difficult and dark place, but that there is hope for people who are willing to take a risk and be themselves. The verses highlight the idea that people often do mundane tasks and obey societal norms, but the chorus encourages the listener to realize that they can be different and do great things. The song's message is one of hope, and it is meant to inspire listeners to believe that they can be heroes.


One interpretation of this song is that it speaks to those who feel like they don't fit in or that they are different from others. The song encourages these people to embrace their uniqueness, to not feel self-conscious, and to believe that they can do great things. The chorus emphasizes the power of unity, and how when people come together, they can achieve amazing things.


Line by Line Meaning

We go hide away in daylight
We seek refuge in hiding during the day


We go undercover, wait out the sun
We conceal our true identities, waiting for the darkness to come


Got a secret side in plain sight
We have a hidden aspect of ourselves that is out in the open


Where the streets are empty
We seek out desolate areas


That's where we run
That's where we feel free


Everyday people do
Ordinary people engage in


Everyday things but I
Commonplace activities, but I


Can't be one of them
Can't be like them


I know you hear me now
I am confident that you are listening to me now


We are a different kind
We are a unique type of individual


We can do anything
We are capable of achieving anything


We could be heroes
We have the potential to be heroes


Me and you
Together


Anybody's got the power
Everybody possesses the capability


They don't see it
People aren't aware of it


'Cause they don't understand
Because they lack comprehension or knowledge


Spin around and run for hours
We could move swiftly and tirelessly


You and me, we got the world in our hands
We have the power and control to shape the world


All we're looking for is love and a little light
What we seek is love and a glimmer of hope


Love and a little light
Affection and a small glimmer of hope

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

HERE ARE THE LYRICS:
We could 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

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
