All My Life
Destrophy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you die for one?
One day of meaning
And would you walk the path alone?
Would you brave a river
With an open soul?
Stand and deliver
All my life I could see
They wanted me for something
But nothing was for me
So I brace myself
And fight for my beliefs
When I can't remember
The days I've known
The trials endless
And the lessons that they show
Just one collision
And you find yourself
Make your decision
Looking in the glass
Do you live for them or for yourself?
All my life, they said to me
They want me to be something
That something isn't me
So I brace myself
And fight for my beliefs
All my life
What do you believe?
All your life I could see
They want you to be something
But nothing comes for free
So face yourself
What do you believe?
The song "All My Life" by Destrophy talks about the importance of finding one's own identity and the struggles one has to face in doing so. The lyrics question whether one is living for something or someone, to the extent of dying for them. It also asks whether one is willing to go through difficult paths alone, facing their fears and standing up for their beliefs. The song reflects on the pressures that society, families, and friends impose on us to fit in and be someone they want us to be. It emphasizes that one must find their own purpose and passion and fight for it, even if it means going against the expectations of others.
The lyrics use metaphors such as "Brave a river with an open soul" and "One collision and you find yourself" to convey the message that the journey to find oneself is not easy and requires courage and determination. The line "All my life, they said to me they want me to be something, that something isn't me" highlights the dilemma of choosing between living up to the expectations of others and staying true to oneself.
