Shoot the Girl First Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when you love, god's light shines on you.
I've been so long coming 'round.
God forsake me, I can't breath your lies anymore.
Miss me?
Miss me?
If I were smiling, running to your arms, oh mum and dad, I've been so long coming round.
This is the quest of a whole life, don't bring me back.
This is the quest of a whole life, don't bring me back.
Happiness is only real when shared.
Rather than faith, rather than fame, love, money, fairness.
Rather than pain, rather than hate, purity.
Give me the truth!
Give me the truth.
If I were smiling, running to your arms, oh mum and dad, I've been so long coming round.
If I were smiling, running to your arms, oh mum and dad, I've been so long coming round.
If I were smiling, running to your arms, would you see then, what I see now?
If I were smiling, running to your arms, would you see then, what I see now?
The lyrics to "Legend" by Shoot the Girl First explore themes of forgiveness, love, and truth. The opening lines suggest a connection between forgiveness and love, and that love allows God's light to shine on you. However, the singer feels like they have been "coming 'round" for too long and can no longer tolerate lies. They ask if they are missed, and repeat the question, suggesting doubt.
In the next section, the singer imagines a scenario where they would be smiling and running into their parents' arms, but again they emphasize how long it has taken for them to reach this point. The singer seems to be on a quest for something greater than faith, fame, money, or fairness - they want the truth. The song ends with the repeated question of whether their parents would see what the singer sees if they were to come running back.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a journey towards self-discovery and truth-seeking, and the desire for acceptance and forgiveness from others along the way.
