This Is the Life
DJ Sen a.k.a Street Joker Feat. Shinnosk8 & Junnosuke Yonesaka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

なんにも知らずに
あなたがもし聴いたなら
ありふれた ただの愛の歌

この歌は誰にも
歌わせたくないと
胸にしまい込んできたけど
でも わからないんだ
This is not a song for her
Not a song for me
Not a song for us

This is not a song
This is my heart (this is my heart)
ただきれいなメロディーに
幾千の言葉を載せてみても
伝えきれない この想い
This is not a song
This is my heart

想い出を抱きながら
歌いあげたぼくの願いが
もし届いたら
いまもその胸は痛むのかな?
そんなことなら
聴かないでいてくれたら いいな

This is not a song
This is my heart (this is my heart)
ただきれいなメロディーに
幾千の言葉を載せてみても
伝えきれない この想い
This is not a song
This is my heart

How can I give you my heart
How can I give you my heart
How can I give you

この想い届くかな
変わらない ぼくの愛
うまく言い切れないけど
受け止めて




This is not a song
This is my heart

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "This Is The Life" expresses the apprehension of the singer towards singing a simple love song that anyone can relate to. He acknowledges that he has kept this song to himself despite wanting to share it with others. Nevertheless, he is uncertain if anyone will understand the complexity of his feelings, regardless of the words he uses.


The next part of the lyrics reiterates the idea that this song is not just any song—it is an extension of the singer's heart. He tells the person he's singing to not to expect a simple love song because this song is not for anyone but himself. Despite the beautiful melody and thousands of words that he can use, he cannot express the depth of his emotions entirely.


The final part of the lyrics has a musical tone of hopefulness as the singer expresses his wish that the person he's singing to receives his message. He hopes that she understands the depth of his love despite his inability to articulate it entirely. The song ends with the singer struggling to express how he can give his heart to the person he loves.

2023 it remains the same catchy song 👌Oh, the wind whistles down
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 shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before

And you're singing the songs 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're singing the songs 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 four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs 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're singing the songs 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're singing the songs 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're singing the songs 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're singing the songs 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're singing the songs 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?
