Legacy
Infusion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aquaman knows what to do
Days seem shorter than they are
Finished counting all the stars
Feel the gears wind down again
Another paycheck to cash in
May the lord of flesh and bone
Leave you some to call your own
As we slowly feel our way
Through another shapeless day

up the hill to sow some seed
Nostalgia's warmth is all we need
Past disappointments turn to steam
We're superheros, in our dreams
Throw the radio up high
Watch it drown out half the sky
Synaesthesia coloured blue
Aquaman knows what to do

The secrets that we keep
Send our children fast asleep
Keep your head lights nice and low
It's a subtle tempting show
Through the windsweep we can see
A cinematic legacy




Leaving cities paved with gold
To pilot frigates through our souls

Overall Meaning

The song "Legacy" by Infusion seems to be a reflection about the mundane and routine aspects of life that often make us forget the magic around us. The song starts with a seemingly random shout-out to Aquaman, a superhero who is known for his ability to breathe, talk and move underwater, which might be an indication of how, sometimes, we need a superhero-like inspiration to remind us that life is full of possibilities. The introduction of nostalgia in the second stanza is like an escape to the past wherein the warmth of the memories provides comfort despite past disappointments.


The third stanza creates a visual of a daily routine that is rather dull, but this is immediately contrasted by the mention of superheroes, which could be an indication of how we may all have heroic dreams, and in those dreams, we escape our mundane reality. Listening to music and experiencing sensory experiences like synaesthesia due to music helps to create the atmosphere of the surreal and imaginative, as well. The following stanza seems to suggest that every day, we carry secrets and burdens, but we still have to send our children to sleep and put on a brave face in the day. The last two stanzas seem to reinforce the idea that life is about legacy, and we pave our path like cities and pilot frigates through our souls.
