Legacy
Tiffany Alvord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Way young and the night is as well
all the secrets make up our bills
so we're counting change on the hood
on a car that is parking in the woods
leave the door open just a crack
to the keys that are under the mat
chasing hearts cause love never sleeps oh
This is my legacy
i want the world to see
i am invinsible
oohh oohh
This is my legacy
no way to run to me
oohh oohh
ah ah ah ah ah
Wake up in the morning on the right side
rents late from pay that's my life
ain't no care I go with the flow
get gas going fast you know
get that good vibes writing on my back
don't even say where i go where i'm at
cause i can take it from here
This is my legacy
i want the world to see
i am invinsible
oohh oohh
This is my legacy
no way to run to me
oohh oohh
this is my legacy
I'm invinsible
this is my legacy
don't you erupt me
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
This is my legacy
i want the world to see
i am invinsible
oohh oohh
This is my legacy
no way to rupture me
oohh oohh
this is my legacy
I'm invinsible
this is my legacy
don't you erupt me
The lyrics to Tiffany Alvord’s song “Legacy” describe a young protagonist who dares to live life on their own terms, disregarding the societal norms that dictate what should and should not be done. The lyrics speak of a carefree attitude, with the singer and their friends counting change on the hood of a car parked in the woods. The lyrics hint at mischief and fun, with secrets being kept and doors left open "just a crack". The singer is shown to be chasing hearts and living in the moment, knowing that “love never sleeps”. The lyrics speak of wanting to leave a lasting legacy, of wanting the world to see that they are “invincible”, and that their actions and choices have a significance that will endure.
The song seems to be an ode to youthful rebellion and the desire to push the boundaries of societal norms. The singer is depicted as someone who will not be bound by the expectations of others and instead, lives life the way they want to, without fear or constraint. They want to be remembered for their life choices and the impact they have made, urging others to take notice and follow their lead. The song’s repeated refrain and catchy tune reinforce the idea that the singer’s legacy is something that they want to be remembered for, a testament to their daring and adventure-filled spirit.
