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
"Heroes" by MÄns Zelmerlöw is a song about the duality of human nature. It is about how people can be both heroic and flawed at the same time. Throughout the song, Zelmerlöw speaks of the demons in our minds, hinting at the struggles that people face in their daily lives. The opening lines, "Don't tell the gods I left a mess, I can't undo what has been done, let's run for cover," set the tone for the rest of the song. They convey a sense of fear and a desire to escape from the consequences of one's actions.
The chorus, "We are the heroes of our time, but we're dancing with the demons in our minds," reinforces this idea of duality. It speaks to the fact that, even though we strive to be heroic and do good, we are constantly battling our own inner demons. The verses highlight the importance of living in the moment, appreciating the beauty of life, and making the most of every opportunity.
In the bridge, Zelmerlöw sings about a person who stood by him through his darkest moments, giving him the strength and support he needed to carry on. This person is described as a hero, but the fact that he had to rely on someone else for help shows that he too had his own demons to deal with.
Overall, "Heroes" is a powerful and uplifting song that acknowledges the complexities of human nature. It encourages listeners to embrace their flaws and strive to be the best versions of themselves, even in the face of adversity.
