Skillet - Legendary Lyrics
Lyrics
My heart bleeds adrenaline
The fire I breathe is where I live
(Say my name) Incredible
(Say my name) An animal
One life to live
I never give up, I never give in
Some people wanna turn and run
But the strong rise under the gun
Top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
To the top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
Never gonna keep me down (never keep me)
Still the one that's standing now (never falling)
Destiny is calling me
Go down in history
Every day I'll fight to be
Legendary
Oh!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Legendary
Fly high or will I fall?
Legends made with faith that's strong
(Say my name) No time to bleed
(Say my name) I'm conquering
While I'm alive
I'll push through the pain, I'll run for the prize
Some people wanna turn and run
But the strong rise under the gun
Top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
To the top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
Never gonna keep me down (never keep me)
Still the one that's standing now (never falling)
Destiny is calling me
Go down in history
Every day I'll fight to be
Legendary
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Everyday I'll fight to be
Legendary
Oh!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Legendary
Wings are made to fly, made to fly
Fears are born to die, born to die
Pushing through the pain, through the pain
Pushing through, breaking through
Whatever it takes, what I gotta do
Giving my all, giving all that I got
Never will stop 'til I get to the top
Top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
To the top, to the top
Ain't never gonna stop
Never gonna keep me down (never keep me)
Still the one that's standing now (never falling)
Destiny is calling me
Go down in history
Every day I'll fight to be
Legendary
Never gonna keep me down (never keep me)
Still the one that's standing now (never falling)
Destiny is calling me
Go down in history
Every day I'll fight to be
Legendary
Oh!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Legendary
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Legendary

Meaning & Inspiration
Skillet's "Legendary," released on July 17, 2019, stands as a powerful anthem of defiance and unwavering conviction, a testament to the strength found in faith amidst a world that often pressures conformity. The song isn't merely a collection of catchy phrases; it delves into the profound truth of identifying with something greater than oneself, of choosing a path that may seem counter-cultural yet is deeply rooted in divine purpose. It speaks to the internal battle of standing firm in one's beliefs, even when the surrounding noise encourages otherwise. This resonates deeply with the biblical call to be set apart, as stated in 1 Peter 2:9, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." The song’s message encourages listeners to embrace this distinctiveness, to understand that their true identity is forged not in earthly accolades or fleeting trends, but in the enduring love and calling of God. It’s about recognizing the inherent potential for greatness bestowed by our Creator, a greatness that isn't measured by worldly standards but by our faithfulness to His will. This perspective aligns with the encouragement found in Romans 12:2, which urges believers not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewal of their minds, so that they may discern God's will. "Legendary" serves as a rallying cry for individuals to tap into that divine reservoir of courage, to refuse to be defined by limitations or the opinions of others, and instead to step into the extraordinary destiny God has planned. It’s a declaration that true legend is not built on self-ambition, but on surrender and obedience to the One who orchestrates all things for His glory.
