the legend
R.U.S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the moment she left the nest,
she searched the longest leaf for a thorn tree,
never resting until she found one.
Then she began to sing,
more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth.
But carry away in the rapturous honor song,
she impaled herself on the longest, sharpest thorn.
she rose above her own agony to out-sing even the lark and the nightingale.
The thorn bird traded her life for that one song and
the whole world was captured to listen!
And God, in His heaven smiles~
As her very best was brought out only of the cost of great pain.
Driven by the thorn, with no fear for her death to come.
But when we push the thorn into our breast,
We know
We understand
And still we choose the pain of the thorn
The lyrics of R.U.S.'s "The Legend" tell a poignant tale of the ultimate sacrifice made by a small bird. The story describes how the bird spent its life searching for a thorn tree, and once it found one, began to sing so beautifully that it outshone every creature on earth. But in its ecstasy, the bird impaled itself on the thorn, and as it lay dying, it sang even more magnificently than before. The world was captivated by the bird's song, and God was said to be pleased, as the bird's very best had been brought out only at the cost of great pain.
The story is an allegory for the idea that sometimes, great beauty can only be brought forth through great suffering. It suggests that in our own lives, we might be called upon to endure pain and sacrifice in order to achieve greatness. The line "But when we push the thorn into our breast, we know, we understand, and still we choose the pain of the thorn" implies that this is a conscious choice we make, and that we are willing to pay the price for the chance to achieve something truly beautiful.
The lyrics are poetic and emotive, and the story they tell is both tragic and uplifting. They invite the listener to reflect on the nature of sacrifice and the relationship between pain and beauty.
