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 song "Heroes" by Alesso and Tove Lo is a powerful message about being true to oneself and seeking out one's own unique path in life. The "secret side" that the lyrics refer to can be seen as a metaphor for society's norms and expectations that often dictate how people should behave and live their lives. The singers of the song reject these conventions and choose to follow their own path, even if it means living in the shadows or creating a new world for themselves.


The chorus of "We could be heroes" can be interpreted in several ways. One way is to see the singers as outsiders who are fighting against a system that seems designed to keep them down. Another interpretation is that the singers are saying that anyone can be a hero, as long as they are true to themselves and follow their passions. The two singers represent a powerful unity, two individuals who are finding their own way and joining together to take on the world around them.


The repeated refrain of "All we're looking for is love and a little light" underscores the message of the song - that we all just want to be accepted and loved for who we are, and that we can find that acceptance and love in ourselves and in others. By rejecting conformity and embracing their own unique perspectives, the singers of the song become heroes not just to themselves, but to anyone who is looking for the courage to follow their own path in life.


Line by Line Meaning

We go hide away in daylight
We seek refuge from the world outside during the day


We go undercover, wait out the sun
We try to blend in and avoid detection until nightfall


Got a secret side in plain sight
We have a hidden personality that we reveal in certain situations


Where the streets are empty
We prefer to be alone in deserted areas


That's where we run
We escape to these areas to feel free and safe


Everyday people do
The majority of people behave in a predictable manner


Everyday things but I
I refuse to fit into this mold


Can't be one of them
I am unique and won't conform


I know you hear me now
I believe that you understand and support me


We are a different kind
We are not like everyone else


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


We could be heroes
We have the potential to be exceptional and make a difference


Me and you
Together, we have a greater chance of success


Anybody's got the power
Anyone has the potential to do great things


They don't see it
Many people fail to realize their full potential


'Cause they don't understand
They lack the insight to recognize their own power


Spin around and run for hours
We are full of energy and excitement


You and me, we got the world in our hands
Together, we can accomplish anything we set our minds to


All we're looking for is love and a little light
We crave emotional connection and positivity


Love and a little light
We want to feel loved and guided

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
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
