Heroes
M Ns Zelmerlöw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't tell the gods I left a mess
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
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

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Heroes" by MÄns Zelmerlöw expresses our human struggle to balance our strengths with our weaknesses. The opening lyrics, "Don't tell the gods I left a mess, I can't undo what has been done," reflect the idea that we all make mistakes and have regrets, but they cannot be undone. The chorus, "We are the heroes of our time, but we're dancing with the demons in our minds," reinforces the notion that we have the potential to be great, but our inner demons, such as self-doubt and fear, can hold us back.


The second verse offers some encouragement in the form of wise words from a mentor figure: "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." The mentor's advice implies that we should embrace life fully and fearlessly, and spread positivity and inspiration to others.


The bridge offers a hopeful message about our ability to make positive change: "I make worms turn into butterflies, wake up and turn this world around in appreciation." The overall theme of "Heroes" is that we all have the potential to overcome our struggles and be heroes in our own lives.
