Legacy
Alazka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were the one who told me not to
Look back in regret
Taught me to hold on brave the sorrow
At least that's what you said
You abandoned it all and left like that
Disappeared and dropped the pen
A single letter in
My trust in you was gone
The moment you refused to carry on
With no one to guide
I didn't think that you would
Leave me here all alone tonight
When you paved my way
Now I'm here with no one to guide
(No one to guide)
I didn't think that you would
Leave me here all alone tonight
When you paved my way
It's coming clear
I take the pen and
Continue where you left off
I'm in charge of filling the pages
So they'll turn out for the best
And the reason for all reveals itself
In a moment I'm alone
'Cause your story that I'm supposed to close
Has always been my own
My trust in you was gone
But I can choose to carry on
With no one to guide
Didn't think that you would
Leave me here all alone tonight
When you paved my way
And I can never stop walking it down
To the end of the road
The final chapters still unknown
Maybe your journey ends today
But this is not the end for me
Still there's no time to stop and hide my face
I can't win this race with my eyes shut
Can't go back to the start
Let it all fall apart
It's too late, the final chapter awaits me
With no one to guide
Didn't think that you would
Leave me here all alone tonight
When you paved my way
You paved my way
With no one to guide
Didn't think that you would
Leave me here all alone tonight
When you paved my way
And I can never stop walking it down
Heading straight to the unknown
A story ends today
But not for me
With no one guide (no one to guide)
Didn't think that you would
Leave me here all alone tonight (yeah)
When you paved my way
Now I'm here with no one to guide
(No one to guide)
I didn't think that you would
Leave me here all alone tonight
When you paved my way
The lyrics of Alazka's song "Legacy" reveal a sense of betrayal and abandonment. The singer expresses their disappointment towards someone who was important in their life, someone who taught them valuable lessons about not dwelling in regret and holding strong. This person suddenly walked away, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone.
The lyric "I can't finish a book I never wrote, a single letter in" represents the singer's feeling of incompleteness. They were relying on this person to guide them and shape their life's story, but now they are left to fill the pages on their own. Despite the feeling of being let down, the singer realizes that they have the power to continue on their journey and take control of their own destiny. The following lyrics indicate their determination to carry on and make the best out of their situation.
The chorus emphasizes the sense of abandonment, with the repeated line "With no one to guide, didn't think that you would leave me here all alone tonight when you paved my way." The singer acknowledges that this person had a significant impact on their life, paving their path and providing guidance, but now they are left with no one to rely on.
The second verse reveals the singer's decision to take charge and continue where the person left off. They realize that the story they were meant to close was always their own, and they have the power to shape their own narrative. The lyrics imply that the person who left wanted their journey to end, but it is not the end for the singer. They cannot stop or hide, as they must keep moving forward, even if the outcome is uncertain. The reference to a race and the final chapter awaits indicate the urgency and determination the singer feels in their own life's journey.
Overall, "Legacy" by Alazka embodies feelings of betrayal, abandonment, and self-empowerment. It portrays the struggle of being left alone and the realization that one's own story must be written and continued, despite the absence of guidance.
Line by Line Meaning
No one to guide
There is no one to lead or show the way
You were the one who told me not to
You were the person who advised me against
Look back in regret
Reflect on the past with feelings of sorrow or disappointment
Taught me to hold on brave the sorrow
You taught me to stay strong and face the sadness
At least that's what you said
That is the statement you made
You abandoned it all and left like that
You completely deserted everything and departed abruptly
Disappeared and dropped the pen
Vanished and stopped writing or contributing
I can't finish a book I never wrote
I am unable to complete a story that I never started
A single letter in
Not even a single character or element
My trust in you was gone
My confidence in you had disappeared
The moment you refused to carry on
Right when you decided not to continue
Didn't think that you would
I did not expect or anticipate that you would
Leave me here all alone tonight
Abandon me in this solitude tonight
When you paved my way
When you cleared the path for me
It's coming clear
It is becoming evident or understandable
I take the pen and
I assume control or responsibility
Continue where you left off
Proceed from the point at which you stopped
I'm in charge of filling the pages
I have the authority to complete the contents
So they'll turn out for the best
So they will result in the most favorable outcome
And the reason for all reveals itself
The cause or explanation for everything becomes evident
In a moment I'm alone
In an instant, I am by myself
Cause your story that I'm supposed to close
Because it is my duty to bring your story to an end
Has always been my own
Has constantly belonged to me
But I can choose to carry on
However, I have the option to continue
And I can never stop walking it down
And I can never cease progressing through it
To the end of the road
To the very conclusion
The final chapters still unknown
The last sections are still undiscovered
Maybe your journey ends today
Perhaps your adventure concludes today
But this is not the end for me
However, it is not the conclusion of my story
Still there's no time to stop and hide my face
Nevertheless, there is no opportunity to pause and conceal my emotions
I can't win this race with my eyes shut
I cannot succeed in this competition with my eyes closed
Can't go back to the start
Unable to return to the beginning
Let it all fall apart
Allow everything to disintegrate or collapse
It's too late, the final chapter awaits me
It is too late; the concluding part is waiting for me
Heading straight to the unknown
Proceeding directly towards the unfamiliar
A story ends today
A narrative concludes today
But not for me
But not for myself
