Legacy
y Romero vs. Krewella Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Roses in the sun
Falling one by one
Every thorn stung
I was so numb
I almost didn't see you come

When the walls around me were caving in
You save my life tonight

When there's nothing left but pouring rain
You save my life tonight

And I found my heart inside your hands
You save my life tonight
You showed me how to feel again
You save my life tonight

Hearts on the run
Wasted and young
Every mistake stung
'Til I was numb
I almost didn't see you come

When the walls around me were caving in
You save my life tonight
When there's nothing left but pouring rain
You save my life tonight

And I found my heart inside your hands
You save my life tonight

You showed me how to feel again
You save my life tonight

The song "Legacy" by Nicky Romero and Krewella is a powerful and emotional track about the importance of love and finding salvation in someone when life gets tough. The lyrics highlight the feelings of despair and emptiness that come with difficult times, with lines like "Every thorn stung / I was so numb" and "Every mistake stung / 'Til I was numb". However, amidst all the pain and darkness, the song also speaks of hope and redemption through the power of love, as seen in the chorus: "When the walls around me were caving in / You save my life tonight / And I found my heart inside your hands / You showed me how to feel again".

Overall, the song is a tribute to the transformative power of love, especially in moments of crisis. It suggests that by opening yourself up to love and allowing yourself to be vulnerable, you can overcome even the toughest challenges that life throws at you. The song's lyrics are catchy and emotive, backed by an upbeat electronic dance beat that highlights the energy and passion of the message being conveyed.

Line by Line Meaning

Roses in the sun
Flowers blooming under the bright light of the sun

Falling one by one
The flowers falling to the ground, one by one

Every thorn stung
The pain of the thorns pricking the skin

I was so numb
Being so detached from emotions, unable to feel

I almost didn't see you come
Being so consumed by numbness that it was difficult to notice someone approaching

When the walls around me were caving in
When life was becoming overwhelming and suffocating

You save my life tonight
You came to my rescue and helped me through my struggles

When there's nothing left but pouring rain
At the point of complete despair where the only thing left is tears and sadness

And I found my heart inside your hands
Discovered love and compassion through your caring actions

You showed me how to feel again
Guided me back to being emotionally available and receptive

I don't care what anyone says! This video is so awesome! The message is so strong and it gives me chills every time I watch it. I understand it is a little drastic but it's just a video people, anything raising awareness for cancer deserves to be epic!

How the song just uses one simple phrase and changes how it sounds like by changing the chords and the bassline.
+the kick sounds so sweet.

This song deserves more attention.

I know what you mean, the intro makes it sound so angry and aggressive, you'd think this song was a fucking Basilisk tearing off people's heads. By the end it was all feels-y.

Mad respect for this song, mother had brain cancer passed away in surgery Feb 91. Sometimes education fails or the tech isn't as advanced. Bald head and knit cap and no words necessary. Her memory always remains. The kids in the video was an awesome portal of what it's like when you feel helpless of a situation you have zero control of. I see it as a story of frustration and not one of anger and hate.

It takes a level of creativity to come up with this for a music video that makes me respect them for doing this. One for thinking of il doing it in this way and too for promoting awareness. You don't see many artists do this type of thing so that fact that they both wanted to is extremely admirable of them. Props to both of you

Some of you really don't understand the video do you? Allow me to explain.

The mom has cancer, so the kid contacted all of her co-workers and had them all shave their heads to support her. The scenes with him kidnapping them and smashing their cars and stuff is just the mom's imagination. She finds all these things around his room and it makes her imagine these scenarios because she's a mother and she worries. The kid didn't shave his own head because he wanted it to be a surprise when she got to work.
