Centuries Lyrics

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The stories are off
Heavy metal broke my heart

Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is for tonight
I thought that you would feel
I never meant for you to fix yourself

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Remember me for centuries

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there is a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Remember me for centuries

We've been here forever
And here's the frozen fruit
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries

What is the Meaning of Centuries?

A timeless anthem of resilience and legacy, this hit captures the human desire to be remembered. The lyrics paint a picture of an individual striving for immortality through their actions, with the repeated line "Remember me for centuries" serving as a plea for enduring recognition. The song explores the dichotomy between success and failure ("Some turn to dust or to gold") and suggests that even a single mistake can etch one's name in history. It also touches on youthful rebellion ("We are the poisoned youth") and unfulfilled potential ("You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon"), further emphasizing the fleeting nature of life. Ultimately, it's a powerful call to arms encouraging listeners to strive for greatness, regardless of obstacles or societal expectations.
