It's My Life
12"/80s Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I doubt this Love you've given to me
I hope you understand when I say
I need this time to myself
You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
Cause I've lost myself there many times before
I need to slowly fall away
Far from the grip you have on me
You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you
I need to find my own way
It's my life
I gotta get away
One step away
I gotta get away
Just one step away
I gotta away you're pushing me away
I gotta get away
Well I'm gone
The 12"/80s Crew's song It's My Life is about a person who finds themselves in a situation where they are starting to question the love that another person has given them. The singer expresses their need for time alone to figure out how they truly feel about the relationship they are in. They feel suffocated by the other person's attempts to control and dictate how they live their life. They have lost respect for the other person and need to find their own path.
The lyrics illustrate the struggle to assert one's own individuality in a relationship where the other person is controlling. It's an important message about the importance of self-discovery and the need for space and independence in relationships. At the same time, it speaks to the strength it takes to break free from someone who has a grip on you.
