It's My Life
Bon Jovi [NORWAY] <-Remove! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
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
'Cause it's my life
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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
'Cause it's my life
Bon Jovi's song It's My Life is an anthem for those who refuse to conform or live according to anyone else's expectations. The song begins by stating that it's not for the broken-hearted or the faith-departed, emphasizing that it's for those who will make their own rules and live by them. The lyrics suggest that the singer is determined to be heard and refuses to be just another face in the crowd. He is willing to make his own decisions and take responsibility for his life.
The chorus is a declaration of the singer's desire to live life on his own terms. He asserts that it's his life and he wants to live it while he's alive, not waiting for some undefined future. He likens his heart to an open highway, freely embracing whatever comes his way, and references Frankie's famous song "My Way" to further emphasize the importance of living life on one's own terms. The second verse is a tribute to Tommy and Gina, two individuals who never backed down, setting an example for the singer and others like him. He acknowledges that life can be difficult, but emphasizes that one must create their opportunities and not wait for luck to come their way.
Overall, the song It's My Life delivers a powerful message of self-determination and empowerment. Its lyrics encourage listeners to live life fully and embrace their own uniqueness, rather than conform to societal expectations or the opinions of others.

"For Tommy and Gina who never backed down" A clear reference to LIVING ON A PRAYER, very good job with the video and the lyrics.
@michelerusso04
And "Just like Frankie said, I did my way" is a reference to Frank Sinatra and his "My way" song.
@noahnorman6877
Well Bon Jovi and Frank Sinatra were both from New Jersey, Bon Jovi from Sayreville and Sinatra from Hoboken, so it only made sense to include that reference.
@cjbuenconsejo8652
I never made that connection before. I was always like, who is Tommy, Gina, and Frank
