Song meaning of Legendary by Jorge Rivera-Herrans (Ft. Ayron Alexander, Cast of EPIC: The Musical & MICO)

Hey there, folks! Today, I wanna chat about a song that really hit me in the feels - "Legendary" by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. Let me tell ya, this song is packed with emotions and deep meanings that just tug at your heartstrings.

So, the song starts off with Telemachus feeling kinda lost and alone, stuck in his room, dreaming of fighting monsters but not knowing where to start. He sings, "Dreaming of all these monsters that I'll never get to fight, But boy, I wish I could, so I could bring the world some light." Man, that line really got me thinking about chasing our dreams and overcoming obstacles, even when it seems impossible.

Telemachus goes on to express his desire to be legendary, to face all these mythical creatures like sirens, cyclops, and hydra. He knows life can be scary, but he still wants to be a hero. He sings, "I know life and fate are scary, But I wanna be l-l-l-l-legendary." That determination and bravery in the face of fear really struck a chord with me.

But it's not just about Telemachus wanting to be a hero. The song also touches on his struggles with his mom being pursued by suitors who disrespect her. Telemachus feels powerless against these men, but he still longs to protect his mom. The lyrics, "Give me a chance, a single opportunity and I'll overcome these obstacles and scrutiny," show his inner strength and resilience.

And let's not forget the intense confrontation between Telemachus and the suitors, especially Antinous. The tension in the lyrics, the defiance in Telemachus' voice when he stands up for his mom - it's all so powerful and moving. The song builds up to this moment of defiance and strength, leaving you feeling empowered and ready to take on anything.

In the end, "Legendary" is not just a song about fighting monsters and being a hero. It's about facing your fears, standing up for what's right, and striving to be the best version of yourself. It's a reminder that we all have the potential to be legendary in our own way, no matter what challenges come our way.

So, next time you're feeling down or unsure of yourself, just remember the words of Telemachus: "I know life and fate are scary, But I wanna be legendary." Embrace your inner hero, face your fears head-on, and who knows? You might just become legendary too.
