Heroes
Alesso feat. Tove Lo (piano cover) 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 โ€œHeroesโ€ by Alesso ft. Tove Lo is about two people who have a secret side that they keep hidden from the others. They go undercover during the day to run away from the world and be themselves. They express their desire to be different from the everyday people who do everyday things, and that they are capable of anything. They believe that they can be heroes, as long as they are together.


The lyrics speak about the power that anyone possesses but cannot see because they don't understand. The two characters in the song, however, know that they have the world in their hands. They are searching for love and a little light, and they believe that they can be heroes if they find it. The song portrays two people's dreams of achieving greatness together, and that they will continue to search for it, no matter what obstacles come in their way.


Line by Line Meaning

We go hide away in daylight
We seek seclusion during the day


We go undercover, wait out the sun
We assume disguises, and stay concealed until sunset


Got a secret side in plain sight
We have hidden characteristics that are visible, yet not obvious


Where the streets are empty, that's where we run
We find safety in isolated, abandoned areas


Everyday people do everyday things but I
Ordinary individuals carry out mundane tasks, but I


Can't be one of them
Cannot conform to the ordinary lifestyle


I know you hear me now, we are a different kind
I sense that you understand me as we are unique compared to others


We can do anything
Our potential is limitless


Anybody's got the power
Everyone has the ability


They don't see it 'cause they don't understand
They are unaware because they lack comprehension


Spin around and 'round for hours
They engage in repetitive actions aimlessly


You and me, we got the world in our hands
You and I have a great deal of influence


All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and positivity is what we crave


We could be heroes
We have the potential to be heroic


We could be heroes, me and you
Both of us possess heroic qualities

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...

Anybody's got the power

You and me, we got the world in our hands

Everyday people do everyday things

I know you hear me now, we are a different kind
We can do anything

We could be heroes...
