Heroes
AlessoTove Lo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
‘Cos 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 featuring Tove Lo narrate the story of two people who go into hiding during the day and emerge at night where the streets are empty. They have a secret side that is hidden in plain sight, and they are on a mission to do something extraordinary. Even though they are just everyday people who do everyday things, they have the power to be heroes. They believe that they are a different kind of people and can accomplish anything together.


The song has a simple yet powerful message that anyone can be a hero, and one does not have to be extraordinary to make a difference. The lyrics also suggest that people do not see their true potential because they do not understand the power that they possess. The song is an encouragement to all listeners to believe in their ability to make an impact in the world.


The chorus of the song is particularly catchy and captivating, with the repetition of "We could be heroes, me and you." The guitar riffs in the background fused with the electronic pop sound create an upbeat rhythm that is perfect for dancing. The song carries a message of hope and optimism that is mirrored in the instrumentals.

You aren't worthless
You are worth it
You aren't broken
You are fixed
You aren't weird
You are normal
You aren't a villain
You are a hero

Because deep down inside, everyone has a hero, Including me and you.

We're all heroes
