Legacy
NERVO/Nicky Romero 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 lyrics of NERVO/Nicky Romero's song Legacy show a deep emotional connection between two people who have been through difficult times together. The song starts with the metaphor of roses falling one by one, signifying how everything around the singer seems to be fading away. The thorns stung and the singer was so numb that they almost did not see the other person coming into their life. However, the other person saves their life every night, especially during tough times when the singer's world seems to be caving in. The chorus repeats how the other person has shown the singer how to find their heart again and feel emotions.


The second verse describes how both people have been hurt in the past, and every mistake stung until they were both so numb that they almost couldn't recognize the other person coming into their life. But despite all that, the connection remains strong, and the day is saved by the other person every night. The lyrics emphasize how the other person has played a big part in saving the singer's life, teaching them how to feel emotions, and guiding them towards the right path.


Overall, the song Legacy reminds us of the importance of having someone genuinely by our sides, especially during our darkest moments. The lyrics express vulnerability, trust, understanding, and appreciation of the other person's impact on one's life.

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
