Heroes
Conchita Wurst / Conchita Wurs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dreamt I was a queen in a crimson robe
A lion with a crown of dust and gold
Someone shot you down and your blood went cold
Baby can you wake up, baby can you wake up, again

So don't let go
We can be so beautiful
Listening to the sound
Of silence

So let the walls come down
And the colours light up the sky
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, tonight
And when the hearts break loose and
Our love is like a battle cry
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, tonight

I feel it like a surge running through my veins
Just kiss me and revive this love again
We could be dancing in the eye of a hurricane
They can never break us, they can never break us no more

So don't let go
We can be so beautiful
Listening to the sound
Of silence

So let the walls come down
And the colours light up the sky
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, tonight
And when the hearts break loose and
Our love is like a battle cry
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, tonight
You and I

Love is like a battle cry
And we'll shine till our colours light up the sky
And we'll dance to the sound of our battle cry
We could be heroes
We could be heroes




We could be heroes
Tonight, you and I

God bless you, Conchita. You give us homosexuals, bisexuals, pansexuals and all others hope in this intolerant and hateful world.

All Amazing Georgia

You are 100% right! Thanks for your comment!

I know, God is proud of her. He loves people who try to change the world to a better place.

ungelogen, ich führe häufig solche Diskussion, mit anderen Deutschen und auch Ausländern, aber auch nur, wenn diese diese Meinung auch hartnäckig vertreten.  z.b mit Deutschland1937; unfukkmee, dessen sämtliche Kanäle dank mir gelöscht wurden

Es ist für mich als bisexueller ein Thema, bei dem ich aufgrund meiner negativen Erlebnisse, sehr impulsive und konsequent diskutiere.

ich wollte mit meiner Antwort sagen, dass eine fake Diskussion für mich keinen Sinn macht, aber du kannst gerne entweder hier ind in einem eigenem Kommentar deine Argumente bringen.

Diese Stimme... ich liebe das Spannungsfeld zwischen Frau und Mann in einer Stimme vereint. Einfach klasse und so besonders. Und dieser Song mit Hitqualitäten passt wunderbar dazu. 

That voice ... I love the tension between woman and man in a united voice . Just great and so special .
And this catchy song fits perfectly to it.

Mr. Musiktheorie
