Heroes
Tove Lo Alesso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We go undercover, wait out the sun
Got a secret side in plain sight
Where the streets are empty, that’s where we run
Everyday people do everyday things but I
Can't be one of them
I know you hear me now, we are a different kind
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be
Anybody’s got the power
They don't see it cause they don't understand
Spin around and round for hours
You and me, we got the world in our hands
Everyday people do everyday things but I
Can't be one of them
I know you hear me now, we are a different kind
We can do anything
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes, me and you
We could be
We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you
We could be
All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and a little light
(We could be)
All we're looking for is love and a little light
Love and a little light
We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you
We could be
The lyrics of Tove Lo ft. Alesso's song Heroes tell the story of two people who feel different from the rest of the world. They have a secret side that they can only express under the cover of night, in empty streets. However, they believe they have the power to be heroes and do anything they set their minds to. They do not want to be like everyone else, just going along with the everyday routine. They want to be extraordinary, and they encourage each other to believe that they can.
The song talks about how people often fail to recognize their own potential and the strength they possess within themselves. Everyone has the power to be a hero if they believe in themselves and their abilities. The lyrics portray a sense of unity between two people who share the same passion and desire to be more than what society expects of them. The song’s emphasis on the power of love and light shows that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for those who are willing to find it.
