Heroes
Alesso (fear 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

In Alesso's song "Heroes," the lyrics describe a sense of escape from the mundane routines of everyday life. The song suggests that there is something special and different about the two people singing, and encourages them to embrace their uniqueness and potential. The chorus emphasizes the idea that the two could be "heroes," not necessarily in the superhero sense, but in their ability to make a difference in the world and stand out from the crowd.


The verses describe the duo going "undercover" and hiding away from the world during daylight hours, suggesting that they may not be the most extroverted or sociable people around. However, this secret side of them is what makes them special and sets them apart from others. The bridge emphasizes the idea that anyone has the power to make a difference, they just need to believe in themselves and take action.


Overall, the song encourages listeners to embrace their differences, and find a partner who they can stand with as they make their mark on the world.

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

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...

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...
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
