Some legends are toldSome turn to dust or to goldBut you will remember meRemember me for centuriesAnd just one mistake, is all it will takeWe'll go down in historyRemember me for centuries Hey-ya, oh-heyHey-yaRemember me for centuries
Mummified my teenage dreamsNo, it's nothing wrong with meThe kids are all wrong, the story's all offHeavy metal broke my (heart)Come on, come on, and let me inBruises on your thighs like my fingerprintsAnd this is for to match, the darkness that you feltI never meant for you to fix yourself
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-dooDoo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-dooDoo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-dooDoo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Legacy, resilience, and the "David vs. Goliath" struggle of being an underdog. Lyrics The song centers on the desire to leave a lasting impact.
Some legends are toldSome turn to dust or to goldBut you will remember meRemember me for centuriesAnd just one mistake is all it will takeWe'll go down in historyRemember me for centuries Hey-ya, oh-heyHey-yaRemember me for centuries
The song heavily interpolates the melody from Suzanne Vega's 1987 hit "Tom's Diner".
