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 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 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

In Alesso and Tove Lo's song, "Heroes," the lyrics describe two people who hide from the world during the daytime and have a secret side that only they can see. The streets are empty, and they can do whatever they want without anyone judging them. The song then goes on to talk about the power that everyone possesses, but many people don't understand their capabilities. The two people running on the empty streets have the world in their hands, and they know they are a different kind capable of doing anything.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "We could be heroes, me and you," emphasizing the idea that they can do anything together, and they could be heroes, making a difference in the world. The song's message is clear that love and a little light are all they need to make a difference and be considered heroes.


The song has a powerful meaning and, at its core, is about the struggle and the value of being different. It's about recognizing one's abilities and using them to make a difference, no matter how small. The lyrics speak to anyone who has ever felt different or incapable of fitting into this world's mold.

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

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
