This Life
Goose Bumps & Jason Caesar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one thing that stays the same
The times and my mind may change
And that′s okay
This life
It always drive way too fast
I blink and I'll miss the flash
Of yesterday
Just like the sun
Just like the ocean I will always be
Just like the moon
Just like the gravity that pulls my feet
Those memories will never change
It′s been so long since I've been back home
I'm not even sure where the time has gone
But I′ll never leave who I used to be
I′ve been living on the road
Living in the clouds
With my music up and my memory down
But I'll never leave who I used to be
This life
It always drive way too fast
I blink and I′ll miss the flash
Of yesterday
Just like the sun
Just like the ocean I will always be
Just like the moon
Just like the gravity that pulls my feet
Those memories will never change
It's been so long since I′ve been back home
I'm not even sure where the time has gone
But I′ll never leave who I used to be
I've been living on the road
Living in the clouds
With my music up and my memory down
But I'll never leave who I used to be
It′s been so long since I′ve been back home
I'm not even sure where the time has gone
But I′ll never leave who I used to be
It's been so long since I′ve been back home
I'm not even sure where the time has gone
But I′ll never leave who I used to be
The lyrics of "This Life" by Goose Bumps & Jason Caesar convey a sense of longing for home and a reflection on the changes and fleeting nature of time. The song starts by emphasizing the constancy of the heart amidst the changing times and thoughts. The line "The times and my mind may change, and that's okay" implies an acceptance of the inevitable changes that come with life. The mention of the heart as something that stays the same suggests that despite life's fast pace, there is a core aspect of oneself that remains constant.
The chorus uses metaphors to emphasize the enduring nature of memories and personal identity. The comparison to the sun, ocean, and moon highlights the unchanging aspects of our lives that continue to shape us. The mention of gravity pulling one's feet suggests that despite being on a journey or living a transient lifestyle, there are certain memories and experiences that ground a person and never change.
The second verse expands on the theme of being away from home and the uncertainty of time passed. The longing for home is expressed through the line "It's been so long since I've been back home, I'm not even sure where the time has gone." Despite the distance and unknown passage of time, the singer asserts that they will never leave behind who they used to be, indicating a strong connection to their past and roots.
Overall, "This Life" captures the nostalgia and longing for home while acknowledging the transient nature of time and the importance of holding onto personal identity.
