Heroes
Mеns ZelmerLöw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't undo what has been done
Let's run for cover
What if I'm the only hero left
You better fire off your gun
Once and forever
And live your life like there is no tomorrow son
And tell the others
To go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
We are the heroes of our time
But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes
But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes
But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes
The crickets sing a song for you
Don't say a word don't make a sound
It's life's creation
I make worms turn into butterflies
Wake up and turn this world around
In appreciation
He said I never left your side
When you were lost I followed right behind
Was your foundation
Now go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
Now sing together
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes
But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes
We are the heroes
(We keep dancing with the demons)
(You could be a hero)
Now go sing it like a hummingbird
The greatest anthem ever heard
Now sing together
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes
But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes
We are the heroes of our time
Heroes
But we're dancing with the demons in our minds
Heroes
We are the heroes
The song "Heroes" by Mеns Zelmerlцw has a very motivational and inspiring theme. The lyrics begin with "Don't tell the gods I left a mess, I can't undo what has been done, Let's run for cover." This is Zelmerlцw admitting that he has made mistakes in the past that he cannot undo, and now he wants to move forward and find shelter from the consequences. The following lines "What if I'm the only hero left, You better fire off your gun, Once and forever" speak about his willingness to be a hero and to take on any challenge head-on.
The chorus repeats the lines "We are the heroes of our time, But we're dancing with the demons in our minds" which suggests that although Zelmerlцw wants to be a hero, he still struggles with his own personal demons. The lyrics further explain this with the lines "He said go dry your eyes, And live your life like there is no tomorrow son, And tell the others, To go sing it like a hummingbird, The greatest anthem ever heard." Here, Zelmerlцw recalls advice from someone who told him to live boldly and to encourage others to do the same. In the end, the song is an uplifting and motivational anthem about overcoming fears and striving to be a hero.

You're saying that we fight too much
Don't make any sense
Been telling your friends
And they don't ever fight like us
They just playing pretend
And making amends
They're saying we don't try enough
That you gotta give in
To win anything
They're saying that we might break up
'Cause we fight too much
Why're you listening to what they have to say?
Like there's no exception to the rules we never made
All I know's if one burst
Break us down to two hurting
In just a few words
I'm still here for you
And if it's working for us
Going through a few turns
'Til it's just the two of us
Starting from new
Then maybe we're the one
We could be the one, the one exception
We could be the one, the one exception
To all the other ones who never guessed
We're the one, the one, the one, the one, the one
'Cause baby I believe in us
We can battle the wind
We'll come back again
'Cause no one knows a storm like us
Baby I believe in us
Why're you listening to what they have to say?
Like there's no exception to the rules we never made
All I know's if one burst
Break us down to two hurting
In just a few words
I'm still here for you
And if it's working for us
Going through a few turns
'Til it's just the two of us
Starting from new
Then maybe we're the one
We could be the one, the one exception
We could be the one, the one exception
To all the other ones who never guessed
We're the one, the one, the one, the one, the one
We could be the one, the one exception
We could be the one, the one exception
To all the other ones who never guessed
We're the one, the one, the one, the one, the one
One burst
Break us down to two hurting
In just a few words
I'm still here for you
And if it's working for us
Going through a few turns
'Til it's just the two of us
Starting from new
All I know's if one burst
Break us down to two hurting
In just a few words
I'm still here for you
And if it's working for us
Going through a few turns
'Til it's just the two of us
Starting from new
Then maybe we're the one
We could be the one, the one exception
We could be the one, the one exception
To all the other ones who never guessed
We're the one, the one, the one, the one, the one
We could be the one, the one exception
We could be the one, the one exception
To all the other ones who never guessed
We're the one, the one, the one, the one, the one
