Legacy
Jack and the Weatherman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go ahead and stick your head deep in the sand, I’ll bet it’s easier
Make your plans or kick the can, swallow the pill and be obedient
But you don’t understand, you don’t understand
The power that’s in your heart
You don’t understand, you don’t understand
You are the legacy
Of all that ever was
You are the legacy
The legacy of stars
Living life within your head won’t get you there, knowledge it’s limited
Just feel the bliss remember this, nothing’s logical it’s infinite
But you don’t understand, you don’t understand
The power that’s in your heart
You don’t understand, you don’t understand
The grace that is in your love
You are the legacy
Of all that ever was
You are the legacy
The legacy of stars
Walk on the edge of future and past
Moment to moment, ashes to ash
Time and space gotta find your way
Now fly through the galaxy, live in reality
Orbit your thoughts and orbit the sun
Tune into love keep moving as one
We are the fireworks, we are the planet Earth, we are the universe
But you don’t understand, you don’t understand
The power that’s in your heart
You don’t understand, you don’t understand
The grace that is in your love
We are the legacy
Of all that ever was
We are the legacy
The legacy of stars
We are the legacy
We are the legacy
We are the legacy
The legacy of stars
The song "Legacy" by Jack and the Weatherman speaks to the idea that each individual has a profound impact and potential within them. The opening lines of the song encourage listeners to face reality and confront the challenges that come their way rather than avoiding them. The lyrics suggest that staying ignorant or passive may seem easier, but it is not beneficial in the long run.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own power and the impact one can make in the world. The lyrics highlight the belief that everyone has the ability to leave a lasting legacy, carrying forth the accomplishments and influence of those who came before them. The mention of "stars" in this context references the vastness of the universe and the immense potential within each individual.
The second verse focuses on the limitations of knowledge when it comes to truly living life. It suggests that relying solely on intellectual understanding will not lead to fulfillment or growth. Instead, the lyrics propose embracing the wonder and infinite possibilities that exist beyond logical reasoning. By acknowledging the intangible and mysterious aspects of existence, one can experience true bliss.
The bridge of the song encourages individuals to transcend the boundaries of time and space, and to embrace both the past and the future. It suggests that through tapping into the power of love and unity, one can become connected to the greater cosmos. The lyrics depict a sense of empowerment and encourage listeners to explore their own thoughts and dreams, while still being grounded in reality.
The final repetition of the chorus expands the idea of legacy to a collective level, acknowledging that as a collective humanity, we are all part of a legacy that has been built by those who came before us. The lyrics express pride and ownership of this shared legacy, noting that we are not only connected to one another but also connected to the vastness of the universe itself.
Overall, the song "Legacy" encourages listeners to recognize their own potential, embrace the unknown, and contribute to a greater legacy that extends beyond the individual. It emphasizes the power of love, unity, and the interconnectedness of all beings in the universe.
