He Is Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I tried to find you in the castle where you hid
I took the pictures that you ruined from my wall
No one remembered me I was right after all
I am the villain to you
You are the princess to me
I got you where I want you
Let love bring you to your knees
If I can not have you, darling, no one will
This fairy tale is ending, this fairy tale is ending
Rest in pieces
I am the hero to you
You are the villain to me
I jumped a building or two
To write this love story
I was the prince that every dame was looking for
But you gave your love to every jester at your door
Well I always knew that you would end up stepping out
But that's what this cannon aimed at you is all about
I am the villain to you
You are the princess to me
I got you where I want you
Let love bring you to your knees
If I can not have you, darling, no one will
This fairy tale is ending, this fairy tale is ending
Rest in pieces
I am the hero to you
You are the villain to me
I jumped a building or two
To write this love story
Well I can't wash it off
I can't rinse it out
I can smell you on my clothes
And I can taste you in my mouth
I can't shake it off
And I can get it out
You are everywhere I look
And you are all I dream about
I never wanted to end like this
Juliet (Juliet)
You know you want it
I never wanted it like this
You know you want it
Romeo look at what you did
You know you want it
I never wanted it like this

The lyrics to He Is Legend's song Dixie Wolf tell the story of a failed romance, with the narrator expressing their frustration and anger towards their former lover. The lyrics are full of imagery and metaphor, portraying the relationship as a fairy tale gone wrong. The narrator switches between identifying as the villain or hero of the story, depending on their perspective of their former partner. They describe feeling betrayed by their love interest, who they claim gave their affection to others. The chorus, "I am the villain to you, you are the princess to me", highlights the disconnect and misunderstandings between them.
Despite the resentment and bitterness expressed throughout the song, there are moments of vulnerability, with the narrator admitting their emotional attachment to their former lover. The bridge, "Well I can't wash it off, I can't rinse it out, I can smell you on my clothes, and I can taste you in my mouth", depicts the narrator's inability to move on from the relationship. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "You know you want it", perhaps indicating a desire to rekindle the relationship or an attempt to justify their actions.
Overall, Dixie Wolf is a complex portrayal of a tumultuous relationship, with the narrator acknowledging their role in the relationship's downfall while also placing blame on their former partner.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought you knew me but it seems you never did
I believed you understood me, but it appears you didn't
I tried to find you in the castle where you hid
I attempted to locate you in a secure place where you were hiding
I took the pictures that you ruined from my wall
I removed the photographs that you destroyed from my wall
No one remembered me I was right after all
Nobody recollected me, which confirms I was correct
I am the villain to you
In your sight, I am the antagonist
You are the princess to me
As per my opinion, you're a princess
I got you where I want you
I've got you in a situation I desired
Let love bring you to your knees
The intensity of affection will overwhelm you
If I can not have you, darling, no one will
Incase I am not with you, darling, nobody will be
This fairy tale is ending, this fairy tale is ending
This story is coming to an end, this story is concluding
Rest in pieces
Die horribly
I am the hero to you
In your eyes, I am the protagonist
You are the villain to me
To me, you are the antagonist
I jumped a building or two
I took a leap of faith and overcame many obstacles
To write this love story
To draft this story of love
I was the prince that every dame was looking for
I was the prince charming whom every lady was searching for
But you gave your love to every jester at your door
You wasted your love on every entertaining fool outside your home
Well I always knew that you would end up stepping out
I always predicted that you'd end up being unfaithful
But that's what this cannon aimed at you is all about
But that's why this gun is directed towards you
Well I can't wash it off
Unfortunately, I cannot cleanse myself of this
I can't rinse it out
I can't remove or erase it
I can smell you on my clothes
I can perceive your scent on my garments
And I can taste you in my mouth
Moreover, I can recognize your taste in my mouth
I can't shake it off
I'm unable to get rid of it
And I can get it out
I cannot eliminate or remove it
You are everywhere I look
Your presence is everywhere I glance
And you are all I dream about
In my dreams, you are everything I long for
I never wanted to end like this
This isn't how I wanted it to end

Love the song. Love the singer. Hate the way the vocals were mixed. These guys were meant to be heard live. I don't know why the recording engineers can't quite capture that sound
