Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

O my God!
তোমার নেই বুঝি prisma selfie?
নেই weistain
Check-in baby
কেমনে হবে superstar?
সবাই এখন super busy
ঘুরছে মাথা super daisy
যে যার যার রাজত্বে
উড়ছে খোলা আকাশে
দেখো আজ আলোকিত সব
কোটি তারার আকাশে
ইতিহাস গড়ছে সবাই
Youtube আর facebook
সবাই legend

সবাই legend
সবাই legend
সবাই legend
সবাই legend

(Everyone so superstar)
(Everyone so fabulous)
(All about them, likes and shares)
(Everybody so good about this)

(Everyone so superstar)
(Everyone so fabulous)
(All about them, likes and shares)
(Everybody so good about this)

ও খোদা ও কি
এখন খাবে কি?
Beauty cam এ ফরসা
আটা-ময়দা মাখি
কণ্ঠে নেই সুর? তো?
আছে অটো auto tuner
Boost দিলে post পাবে
কোটি কোটি viewer
একি কি করলেন legend?
(দেখুন video সহ)

খেলা হবে, chill হবে
Copy-paste
শিল্প গান বানাতে
সময় লাগে না, লাগে না
আর loop ছাড়া গান
আর পাবে না, পাবে না

Video post করছে সবাই
গুনছে likes, করছে লড়াই
আমিতো শুধু চাই গাইতে গান
হয়ে গেল কবে সবই ব্যবসা
দেখছি কালো শুধু ঝাপসা
বেচতে পারবো না আমি
শিল্পী মনের প্রাণ

দেখো আজ আলোকিত সব
কোটি তারার আকাশে (ইয়ে, ইয়ে)
ইতিহাস গড়ছে সবাই
Youtube আর facebook এ (হে)

Overall Meaning

The song "Legend" by Shafin Ahmed is a commentary on our society's obsession with social media and the pursuit of fame. The lyrics take a sarcastic and critical tone towards those who place importance on things like "Prisma selfies" and "likes and shares" instead of more meaningful pursuits. The chorus repeats "sobai legend" (everyone's a legend), suggesting that fame and celebrity status have become so widespread and meaningless that they no longer hold any real value.


Ahmed's lyrics make several references to the superficiality of the social media world, such as the line "beauty cam-e forsha, ata-maida makhhi" (using beauty cam to polish one's looks). He also mocks the music industry's emphasis on auto-tuning and copying/pasting songs in order to generate quick hits that gain views and shares. Ahmed invokes a sense of nostalgia for old school music creation, a time absent of tuning and copy-pasting and crafted purely from pure human talent. The song ends with Ahmed saying, "I just want to sing, I don't care for business," signifying that true artists are not motivated merely by likes, shares, and views.


Overall, "Legend" serves as a warning to society, asking the listener to question what has value and importance and to resist the temptation of cheap fame and instant gratification that social media offers.

@stephensircar1561

People thought that Shafin Ahmed & Fuad Al Muqtadir were really fighting. This was a publicity stunt for This collaboration. Butthurt fans thought Fuad is a matter of joke. No bro, Fuad has inspired tons of composers in bangladesh. People of bangladesh can't realize the importance of good composers. I highly doubt they even know what "composer" means. Shafin Ahmed knows that Fuad is a genius. This is why he made This collaboration with Fuad.
