Low Life
Jamie N Commons X Ambassadors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking about my own life
I can't help myself from falling
Can't help myself from falling
I'm nothing but a low life
Thinking about my own life
I'm trying to fight the good own fight
Wanna be a better man, but it's a hard life
Without that love inside you, it's a cown bind
But, I started to reflect on all that's been before
Started to wonder, but, but you can't be sure
Now please tell me I'm broke
It's much easier that way, 'cause I just let you down
It's much easier that way
I'm nothing but a low life (low life)
Thinking 'bout my own life (own life)
I can't help myself from falling
Can't help myself from falling
I'm nothing but a low life (low life)
Thinking 'bout my own life (own life)
I'm trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I'm still just a low life
There are words in my mind in the candlelight
Cown hands on my heart keeping slow time
And I started to reflect on all that's been before
Started to wonder, but, but you can't be sure
Now please tell me I'm broke
It's much easier that way, 'cause I just let you down
It's much easier that way
I'm nothing but a low life (low life)
Thinking 'bout my own life (own life)
I can't help myself from falling
Can't help myself from falling
I'm nothing but a low life (low life)
Thinking 'bout my own life (own life)
I'm trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I'm still just a low life
I'm still just a low life
Nothing but a low life
I can't help myself from falling
I can't help myself from falling
I'm still just a low life
I'm nothing but a low life
(I'm trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I'm still just a low life)
I'm nothing but a low life (nothing but a low life)
Thinking about my own life (thinking 'bout my own life)
I can't help myself from falling (can't help myself)
Can't help myself from falling (can't help myself)
I'm nothing but a low life (nothing but a low life)
Oh, I'm thinking about my own life (thinking 'bout my own life)
I'm trying to fight the good own fight
But after it all, I'm still just a low life
The lyrics of "Low Life" by Jamie N Commons and X Ambassadors describe the struggles and frustrations of a person who sees themselves as a "low life" and cannot escape their own negative perception. The verses express a deep sense of self-doubt and hopelessness, as the singer acknowledges their flaws but can't seem to overcome them. The chorus repeats this idea, with the singer being unable to help themselves from "falling" and feeling like they are constantly in a battle to be a better person. Despite their efforts, they ultimately feel like they are still "just a low life."
The bridge section of the song adds an interesting layer, as the singer references "words in my mind in the candlelight" and "slow time," which could suggest a moment of introspection or inner reflection. However, they still ultimately come back to the idea that they are "nothing but a low life" and can't seem to break free from that self-perception.
Overall, "Low Life" is a poignant exploration of the difficulties of self-improvement and the feeling of being stuck in a negative self-image.

It's rare when music hits you at the core and somehow makes you feel all the most intense feelings at once. That is X Ambassadors.
