Legend
M.L.R. Karthikeyan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached

Called the fool and the company
On his own, where he'd rather be
Where he ought to be
And he sees what you can't see, can't you see that?
(He sees what you can't see)

Maybe he's caught in the legend
Maybe he's caught in the mood
Maybe these maps and legends
Have been misunderstood

Down the way, the road's divided
Paint me the places you've seen
Those who know what I don't know
Refer to the yellow, red, and green
(Can't you see that?)

Maybe he's caught in the legend
Maybe he's caught in the mood
Maybe these maps and legends
Have been misunderstood

He's not to be reached, he's to be reached
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached
He's not to be reached, he's to be reached

The map that you've painted doesn't seem real
He just sings whatever he's seen
Point to the legend, point to the east
Point to the yellow, red, and green

Maybe he's caught in the legend
Maybe he's caught in the mood
Maybe these maps and legends
Have been misunderstood
Have been misunderstood

(Maps and legends)
(Maps and legends)

Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached (maps and legends)




Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached (maps and legends)
Is he to be reached? He's not to be reached anymore (maps and legends)

Overall Meaning

The song "Legend" by M.L.R. Karthikeyan talks about a person who is misunderstood by others because he perceives the world differently. The lyrics suggest that this person is often called a fool by others but he prefers to be alone where he can be himself. He sees things that others cannot see because they are caught up in their own world of maps and legends.


The song also talks about the road that is divided and the places that the person has seen that are not painted on any map. The use of the color yellow, red, and green signifies the road sign and gives it a deeper meaning that only those who know it can understand it. There is a feeling of ambiguity in the song about whether the person is caught up in the legend, the mood, or whether the maps and legends have been misunderstood.


The chorus repeats "He's not to be reached, he's to be reached" several times, which could signify that the person cannot be reached in the conventional sense. Instead, he needs to be reached in a different way through understanding and empathy.
