Heroes
Blind Zero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, I will be King
And you, you will be Queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
We can be heroes, just for one day

I, I remember
Standing, standing by the wall
And the guns, guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them forever and ever
Then we could be heroes just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We're nothing and nothing and no one will help us
Baby, we will die and we'll never, never stay
We can be saved just for one day
We can be heroes...
We can be heroes... Just for one day...




We can be heroes...
We can be heroes...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blind Zero’s song “Heroes” tell a story of defiance and determination in the face of adversity. The opening lines, “I, I will be King / And you, you will be Queen”, suggest a desire for power and control, but this is quickly subverted as the next lines express a sense of unity and shared purpose: “Though nothing will drive them away / We can beat them, just for one day”. This creates a sense of urgency and a call to take action, even if it is only for a short amount of time.


The second verse continues the theme of overcoming obstacles, with the image of swimming like dolphins evoking a sense of freedom and fluidity. The repetition of “we can beat them, for ever and ever / we can be heroes, just for one day” emphasizes the idea that the struggle may be ongoing, but there is still value in fighting for a moment of glory.


The final verse is the most poignant as it describes a moment of intimacy between two people against a backdrop of violence and oppression. “And the guns, guns shot above our heads / And we kissed as though nothing could fall” creates a sense of high stakes and a feeling that anything could happen at any moment. This is underscored by the line “Oh we can beat them forever and ever / Then we could be heroes just for one day”, which suggests that even if their defiance is ultimately futile, there is still a sense of triumph in the act of standing up to power.
