It's My Life
@ Жива Версія: Bon Jovi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
It's for Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't enough
You've got to make your own breaks

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life

You better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)

And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way




I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)

Overall Meaning

Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" is essentially a song about personal empowerment and taking control of one's own destiny. It's for those who want to break free and live life on their own terms. The song starts off with a declaration that this isn't a song for the broken-hearted or for people who've lost faith in life. The singer makes it clear that he's not going to be just another face in the crowd and that he'll make his voice heard loud and clear.


The chorus is a clear statement of intent as the singer declares that it's his life and he's going to make the most of it. He's not going to wait around for things to happen; he's going to go out there and take what he wants. The reference to "Frankie" in the chorus is a nod to Frank Sinatra and his famous song "My Way," which emphasizes living life on one's own terms.


The second verse of the song is a tribute to those who never back down and who always stand their ground. The reference to Tommy and Gina may be a reference to a working-class couple in New Jersey who are struggling to make ends meet. The verse also suggests that life is getting more difficult, and that one needs to create their own opportunities instead of waiting for luck to come their way.
