No Hero
Elisa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't hide your heart behind a shadow
‘Cause you can count on me as long as I can breathe you should know
I'll carry you through the night, through the storm
Give you love only love in return
I can't jump over buildings I'm no hero
But love can do miracles
But I would take one for you
Be sure I would
I've fallen from grace yeah I'm much less a saint than a sinner
No ain't no superhuman cause that's just in the movies
I know
But i'll carry you through the night, through the storm
Give you love always love in return
I can't jump over buildings I'm no hero
But love can do miracles
I can't outrun a bullet I'm no hero
But I would take one for you
I can't jump over buildings I'm no hero
But love can do miracles
I can't outrun a bullet cause I'm no hero
But I'd spill my blood for you
If you need me to I'll be there
Yeah yeah…
Uh…uh uh uh uh…
Don't say this is over
Look at them better days
Oh don't say this is over
There's no loser
Look at them better days
And try again!
I can't jump over buildings I'm no hero
But love can do miracles
I can't outrun a bullet I'm no hero
But I would take one for you
I can't jump over buildings I'm no hero
But love can do miracles
I can't outrun a bullet cause I'm no hero
But I'd spill my blood for you
If you need me to i'll be there
Yeah
The song "No Hero" by Elisa is a powerful message about love and standing up for those we care about. The opening line "Don't shut your eyes, don't hide your heart behind a shadow" is a call to action, urging the listener not to close themselves off emotionally or hide from the world. Elisa then promises to "carry you through the night, through the storm," emphasizing the support and unconditional love she is willing to give.
The chorus of "I can't jump over buildings, I'm no hero" is an admission of Elisa's limitations as a human being. She acknowledges that she cannot perform superhero-like feats, but she also underscores the fact that love is a powerful force, capable of performing "miracles." The lyrics "But I would take one for you, be sure I would" are particularly poignant, reflecting the idea that true heroism comes not from superhuman abilities, but from selflessness and sacrifice.
The overall message of the song is that, while we may not be able to save the world or perform miraculous feats, we can still make a difference by standing up for those we care about, being there for them in their times of need, and spreading love and kindness wherever we go.

febbraio 2016 mio figlio di 6 viene ricoverato d'urgenza in oncologia pediatrica ... dopo qualche giorno lo lascio con il papà e faccio un giro in auto per la città ho bisogno di aria e di piangere fino allo sfinimento. Accendo la radio e parte questa canzone. Oggi a 3 anni di distanza mio figlio all' ultimo controllo è risultato completamente guarito ed io sono tornata qui per ascoltarla. Fino ad oggi non ci riuscivo ... ❤
