It's Your Life
Fabrice Morvan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't take that alley
You will see
It's the wrong place to be for your soul
But who am I to tell you what to do
It's your life
I don't know why you keep going back
Can you feel the void
Growing inside
It's your life
I used to be like you
But the day came for me
To say no more
I took back what was mine
And now it's mine again
Sit with me and drink my wine
If you will
You might feel the wisdom of its age
Warning your soul
Of what could be
But it's your life
The lyrics of Fabrice Morvan's song, "It's Your Life," carries a message of self-discovery and personal responsibility. The first stanza, "Oh no, don't take that alley. You will see it's the wrong place to be for your soul. But who am I to tell you what to do? It's your life" warns the listener about the dangers of proceeding down a path that can have negative consequences for one's soul. Still, the songwriter acknowledges that ultimately, it's up to the individual to decide. The second stanza, "I don't know why you keep going back. Every night it eats you away. Can you feel the void growing inside? It's your life," questions why some individuals continually place themselves in harmful situations, leading to self-destructive tendencies. Morvan hints at the possibility that these individuals are trying to fill a void within themselves. However, in the end, the choice of whether or not to continue down that path is theirs to make.
The next stanza, "I used to be like you. But the day came for me to say no more. I took back what was mine, and now it's mine again," describes the songwriter's personal experience, in which he found himself in a similar situation. However, he made the conscious decision to take control of his life and free himself from the negative influences that held him captive. He hopes to inspire listeners to do the same, to take back control of their lives and not let outside influences guide their choices. In the final stanza, "Sit with me and drink my wine if you will. You might feel the wisdom of its age warning your soul of what could be. But it's your life," Morvan extends an invitation to sit down and share his experience. He hopes that by sharing his story, he can offer a perspective that may guide one towards making better choices.

Mire en la entrevista de Fab, que extrañaba mucho a Rob, y que todo el tiempo pensaba en el, y cuando escribio la canción ,lo hizo pensando que Rob estaba vivo y a su lado ,y eso desgarro mi corazón.💔💔
