THIS IS YOUR LIFE
EDX feat. Nadia Ali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have your cake and then rotate
Easy come, easy go, doesn't matter any way
Don't you know by now
The higher the jump the harder you fall
Chase that high and fly
Dark crystal ball
What do you see, Lord?
Do you believe
This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
If walls could talk what would they say
You have your cake and then rotate
Easy come, easy go, doesn't matter any way
Don't you know by now
The higher the jump the harder you fall
Chase that high and fly
Dark crystal ball
What do you see, Lord?
Do you believe
This is your life
This is your life
This is your life
The first verse of "This Is Your Life" talks about the idea of inanimate objects having a voice and what they would say to the person living in the room. The phrase "you have your cake and then rotate" implies a sense of excess, indulgence, and unsteadiness that characterizes the person's lifestyle. The line "easy come, easy go, doesn't matter any way" suggests a lack of concern or consequences for the actions taken.
The chorus then asks a rhetorical question, "what do you see, Lord?" This line could be interpreted in several ways. Perhaps it is a plea for guidance or a message of concern. The following line "do you believe, this is your life" offers a sense of resignation, implying that the character has come to accept their current living situation. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that this is indeed their life and no one else's.
The second verse of the song echoes the chorus. The line "chase that high and fly" implies a risky behavior that the character has accepted. The reference to the "dark crystal ball" adds to the sense of ominousness and the idea that there may be a cost to this behavior. Finally, the chorus again asks the character to reflect on their actions and the ultimate meaning of their life.
Overall, the song captures a sense of recklessness, excess, and ultimately, acceptance of one's life. It offers a commentary on the human experience and the struggle to balance our desires and our responsibilities.
