Heroes
Moby Mindy Jones 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
We can be heroes just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yeah, we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes forever and ever

I, I can remember
Standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall

And the shame was on the other side
We can beat them forever and ever
We can be heroes just for one day

Oh, we can be heroes




Oh, we can be heroes
Oh, we can be heroes just for one day

Overall Meaning

The song "Heroes" by Moby Mindy Jones is an interpretation of David Bowie's original song with the same title. The lyrics seem to speak about a love that persists despite challenging circumstances. The opening lines "I, I will be king and you, you will be queen" suggest that the lovers are empowered and have a sense of grandeur about their love. However, the subsequent words "though nothing will drive them away" hint at some resistance or external forces against their union.


The chorus "We can be heroes just for one day" suggests that despite the challenges, the lovers can rise above it all and be heroes for a moment, bask in that glory, and allow themselves to feel invincible. The second verse talks about how "nothing will keep us together" but the lovers will take one day and make it count, even if it is just to steal time.


In the final verse, the second line "And the guns shot above our heads" paints a picture of the danger and chaos that the lovers face. Yet in that moment, they kiss as "nothing could fall." The last chorus "Oh, we can be heroes" evokes a sense of hope and resilience in the face of trying times.

This is what a cover should be like: It is a different interpretation that adds new aspects and emotions to the original version. At the same time it shows appreciation and respect for the initial song. Well done, Moby & Mindy Jones!
