Legacy
Krewella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Roses in the sun
Falling one by one
Every thorn stung
I was so numb
I almost didn't see you come

When the walls around me were caving in
You save my life tonight
When there's nothing left but pouring rain
You save my life tonight

And I found my heart inside your hands
You save my life tonight
You showed me how to feel again
You save my life tonight

Hearts on the run
Wasted and young
Every mistake stung
'Til I was numb
I almost didn't see you come

When the walls around me were caving in
You save my life tonight
When there's nothing left but pouring rain
You save my life tonight

And I found my heart inside your hands
You save my life tonight




You showed me how to feel again
You save my life tonight

Overall Meaning

The song "Legacy" by Krewella vs. Nicky Romero talks about the idea of someone coming into our lives when we are at our lowest point and changing everything for the better. The opening lines of the song set the tone by talking about "Roses in the sun falling one by one, every thorn stung, I was so numb." This line talks about how life can be beautiful but also hard and painful, with each "thorn" representing a hardship or pain. Despite this, the person in the song almost didn't see their savior come because they were so numb from the struggles.


The chorus of the song highlights how this person saves their life, "When the walls around me were caving in, you saved my life tonight, when there's nothing left but pouring rain, you save my life tonight." The walls caving in represent the struggles and hardships that have overwhelmed the person, while the pouring rain represents the sadness and hopelessness they feel. Here, the person talks about how they've found their heart inside their savior's hands and how they've been shown how to feel again.


In the second verse of the song, the lyrics talk about how the person was "Wasted and young, every mistake stung, 'til I was numb." This line is an acknowledgement of how easily we can fall off-track and feel lost when we're young. Despite the pain from their mistakes, much like before, the person in the song almost didn't see their savior come because they were too numb from the struggles.


Overall, the song "Legacy" talks about the idea of someone coming into our lives when we're at our lowest point and changing things for the better. It acknowledges the difficulties we face but highlights that there is hope and that we can find someone who can be our salvation.
