Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …

You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette

Try to brush it off my …
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 run1
Everyday people do
Everyday things2 but I
Can’t be one of them3
I know you hear me now
We are a different kind
We can do anything4
We could be heroes5
We could be heroes
Me and you
We could be heroes
We could be heroes
Me and you
We could be
We could be
We could be
Ooh ooh ooh
We could be
Ooh ooh ooh
Anybody’s got the power6
They don’t see it
‘Cause they don’t understand
Spin around and round for hours7
You and me we got the world in our hands8
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
We could be
We could be
We could be
Ooh ooh ooh
We could be
Ooh ooh ooh
We could be
Ooh ooh ooh
We could be
Ooh ooh ooh
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 light9
We could be heroes (Oh)
We could be heroes (Oh)
Me and you
We could be heroes (Oh)
We could be heroes (Oh)
Me and you
We could be (Ooh)
We could be (Ooh)
We could be (Ooh)
We could be (Ooh)
We could be
Alesso begins the song by describing a group of people that are somewhat eccentric. They live in a way that defies the status quo.
Alesso is saying that most people go about their lives in a regular pattern and routine.
Alesso doesn’t want to be counted as “normal.”
“We can do anything” reveals the central message of the song “Heroes (We Could Be):” a desire for significance, the quest to make an impact on the world.
Heroes are those who do something great that benefits the common good. Sometimes, however, heroes are only motivated by the pursuit of fame.
In other words, anybody can be a hero.
“Spin around and round for hours” means that people are going about life aimlessly without realizing their own potential.
“We got the world in our hands” means that our capacity to do something great truly exists.
This bridge of the song is simply written to make the song more catchy. It does little to support the song’s central theme of the human quest for significance.
