This Life
Blake Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a little device
It's a little device
Keeps you warm
Keeps you warm

It's a little surprise
Just a little surprise
To keep you calm
To keep you calm

Shadows and light
Shadows and light
I see your face on every single street

Got to get out of this place tonight
Got to get out of this way of life
Got to get out of this place tonight

It's a little device
It's a little device
Keeps you warm
Keeps you warm





Got to get out of this place tonight
Got to get out of this way of life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blake Perry's song "This Life" appear to be about feeling trapped in a routine or way of life and the desire to break free. The repetition of "it's a little device, keeps you warm" could be interpreted as a metaphor for clinging to something comfortable or familiar, even if it may not be the best thing for us. The line "just a little surprise to keep you calm" suggests that the comfort we seek can also be a way of numbing ourselves and avoiding confronting our struggles.


The chorus, "shadows and light, I see your face on every single street," speaks to the omnipresent influence of the past and the ways in which our memories and experiences shape our present. The repetition of "got to get out of this place tonight, got to get out of this way of life" reinforces the urgency of the desire to break free and find a new direction.


Overall, the song seems to be about recognizing when we are stuck in a pattern that is not serving us and the struggle to make the changes necessary to move forward.

I included this wonderful video in one of my Lists called 'The World needs more Perry Blake' ..
Ίσως θα έπρεπε να την ονομάσω .. "Οι Έλληνες πρέπει να συνομωτήσουμε για να διαδοθεί ο Perry Blake".
Γιατί είναι τόσο Tέλειος! Τόσο υπέροχος!
