Don't you worry
You’ll always be the Queen , he said
Before he left and never came back
He lit his last cigar
Driving through a nameless road
Looking in the horizon
Maybe something he never shared
Or mind to care
Nothing seems to worry him
Enchanted by a lullaby
Nothing seems to worry him
Enchanted by a lullaby
The gates w’ere opened wide
The Condor said goodbye
The trees had formed a line
Awaiting for his gentle soul to walk pass by
The doves flew away
With the sound of the gap
The legacy was made
A lonely tree held him tight with his arms
If you could’ve only hear the sound crying in the park
If you could’ve only said that word written in your line
It’s a story of a man who tried his best to decifer this
Thing he knew nothing about
Beware is what he said
The word must be somewhere
The word must be somewhere
The word must be somewhere
The lyrics of "Legacy" by Silent Birds convey a story of love, loss, and searching for meaning. The song begins with a lover addressing their companion, urging them not to worry and assuring them that they will always be the queen. However, this promise is shattered when the lover departs and never returns, symbolized by them lighting their last cigar. This sudden abandonment leaves the recipient questioning and feeling uncertain about their future.
The second verse depicts the singer driving aimlessly through a nameless road, desperately searching for something or someone that was never shared or acknowledged. Despite the uncertainty and confusion, the singer remains unaffected, possibly due to being entranced by a lullaby. This lullaby serves as a metaphor for a state of inner peace or tranquility, allowing the singer to remain unfazed by external worries.
The following lines introduce the image of gates being opened wide, symbolizing the end of a journey or the transition to a new phase. The departure of the Condor, often associated with freedom and spirit, suggests a farewell or release of the soul. The trees formed a line, showcasing their solidarity and patiently awaiting the passing of the singer's gentle soul. The significance of the doves flying away with the sound of the gap lies in the aftermath of the singer's departure, signifying the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter.
The legacy mentioned in the lyrics represents something left behind by the singer, possibly his actions or impact on others. It is embodied by a lonely tree, the only one remaining, symbolizing strength and determination in the face of loneliness. The crying sound heard in the park and the word written in the recipient's line indicate unspoken emotions and thoughts longing to be expressed. The singer's journey throughout the song can be seen as an attempt to understand and decipher the unknown, warning others to be cautious while searching for the elusive "word" or answer. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the answer or truth the singer sought must be somewhere, emphasizing the ongoing quest for meaning and understanding.

Oh my Darling
My beloved
Don't you worry
Do not fret
You’ll always be the Queen , he said
He proclaimed you as his eternal queen
Before he left and never came back
Before he departed, never to return
He lit his last cigar
He ignited his final cigar
Driving through a nameless road
Journeying along an unnamed path
Looking in the horizon
Gazing at the distant view
For that someone
In search of that elusive person
Maybe something he never shared
Perhaps a secret he never disclosed
Or mind to care
Or bothered to care
Nothing seems to worry him
Nothing appears to trouble him
Enchanted by a lullaby
Entranced by a soothing melody
The gates w'ere opened wide
The gates were swung open wide
The Condor said goodbye
The majestic bird bid farewell
The trees had formed a line
The trees stood in a row
Awaiting for his gentle soul to walk pass by
Eagerly anticipating his serene spirit to pass
The doves flew away
The doves soared into the sky
With the sound of the gap
Carrying the echoing sound
The legacy was made
The enduring heritage was established
A lonely tree held him tight with his arms
A solitary tree embraced him tightly
If you could’ve only hear the sound crying in the park
If only you could have listened to the weeping sound within the park
If you could’ve only said that word written in your line
If only you could have uttered the word inscribed in your verse
It’s a story of a man who tried his best to decipher this
This is the tale of a man who exerted great effort to interpret
Thing he knew nothing about
Something he possessed no knowledge of
Beware is what he said
He sternly warned
The word must be somewhere
It is certain that the word exists somewhere
The word must be somewhere
The word surely has a location
The word must be somewhere
The word undoubtedly resides somewhere

I like the enthusiasm, but with the speed it's going at, I'd have to chase it, and I'm not good at chasing things if one of my eyes has just been attacked.

Aussie here! Not your typical magpie in the video. That one is a magpie-lark. Not as big as the Australian magpie. If it was, she would have lost her eye.
