Legends Never Die
Legends Endure: A Musical Journey Through Life's Unpredictable Roads
Lyrics
Well I’ve been told legends never die
Legends are believed to be immortal or enduring throughout time.
But honey if they did, it just wouldn’t seem right
If legends were to die, it would feel inherently wrong or unjust.
The body goes but the name lives on
Physical bodies may perish, but the legacy or reputation remains.
Driving down the roads of New Mexico
Driving through the landscapes of New Mexico.
Taken by the scenery and the time that rolls away
Being captivated by the surroundings and the passage of time.
Free of any country, free of anything
Feeling unbound by national boundaries or any constraints.
One’s rich, another is broke, a third is hungry and he’s asking for smokes
Highlighting disparities among individuals – wealth, poverty, and need.
Kinda funny how the game plays out
Commenting on the unpredictable nature of life's outcomes.
Life takes a beating and it kicks you down
Life can be harsh and relentlessly challenging.
It is, yeah it is the way it is
Acceptance of the reality of situations.
Oh, it is, yeah it is the way it is
Reiteration of accepting things as they are.
Waiting all up till the sun goes down
Waiting until dusk, possibly for a change or moment of reflection.
To freeze yourself on the cold, cold ground
Sacrificing comfort to experience raw, harsh conditions.
Picking up every penny you see
Being meticulous in collecting every available resource, however small.
This world ain’t fair and ain’t a thing for free
Asserting that the world is unjust and nothing is given freely.
Stars on the ceiling at night
Observing stars while inside, disconnected from nature's rhythm.
Sleeping in a city that don’t ever sleep tight
Sleeping in a bustling city that never truly rests.
A man is dying but we walk on by
Witnessing someone's decline but choosing not to intervene.
Paying no attention to the weary kind
Ignoring the suffering or struggles of others.
It is, yeah it is, the way it is
Reaffirmation of acknowledging the harsh realities of life.
And it is, yeah it is, the way it is
Repeated acceptance of the existing circumstances.
Waiting all up till the sun goes down
Similarity to line 14, waiting for a particular time or change.
To freeze yourself on the cold, cold ground
Repeating the willingness to endure discomfort for a purpose.
Picking up every penny you see
Continuing to gather whatever is available, emphasizing life's scarcity.
This world ain’t fair and ain’t a thing for free
Reiteration of the unfairness of the world and the absence of free things.
