Alesso – Heroes lyrics

Alesso – Heroes lyrics

We go hideaway in daylight
We go undercover when under 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 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

Anybody's got the power
They don't see it
‘Cos they don't understand
Spin around and run 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

This song is about someone who lives an everyday life but wants to break free from it. They want to be a hero. I think that it is a love song and they're saying that them and their girlfriend/boyfriend could be something amazing, that they could save the world if they wanted to.

I agree it's about people with uncommon abilities but
1. I think she says "We go undercover, wait out the sun," which is willingly being undercover, not forced, so the situation is positive.
2. I took the "but I can't be one of them" line as not wanting to be an everyday person and happy to be exceptional, so also positive.
3. "Where the streets are empty that's where we run." I don't understand this line. Doesn't seem to fit to me.
4. "We could be heroes" seems like an unfortunate waste of talents, so doesn't fit with my positive interpretation, but it seems like it's sung as because of the apathy of everyday people, not because they're forced by something else.
5. "You and me we've got the world in our hands." That's about as positive as it gets. Don't want to be everyday people who don't understand and spin around and round for hours.

I thought it was about people with abilities which are not common in mankind. The said people instead of being welcomed and befriended are unwillingly taken in, enslaved, giving drugs and experiments are taken part on their persons. They are miserable knowing everyday people do everyday things but the said group of captive people can not be a part of the said everyday people. One of them breaks out stating we should stick together and be heroes We should stick together and change things for the better. Going on to further say all they need is love and a little light.

Music is art it speaks many words to many different people. Sometimes the intended message of the piece has been pre set yet the thoughts it inspires still come in as varied as the cultures of the world.
