This Is the Life

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing
To the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
While the shocked too many sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for 4
And you're waiting outside jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home till 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about robert ragger and his 1 leg crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight
In "This Is The Life," Amy Mac Donald vividly describes a night out in a city where people are dancing to music, chasing after each other, and having a good time. The song talks about how the music gets better as the night goes on and how everyone is singing along, thinking that this is the life. However, the morning after, the reality of the situation sets in, and the hangover and the question of where to go and sleep tonight become the priority.
The lyrics depict the typical journey of a night out, leading to a situation many have found themselves in before, struggling to get home or find a place to rest their head. The song highlights the temporary nature of the high life. While the moment of indulgence may feel incredible, the morning after is where the repercussions set in, signifying the downside of the lifestyle.
The lyrics, "And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size. Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?" encapsulate the feelings of those who experience what it's like to party hard, love hard, and fall hard.
