One Way to Life
Jean-Pierre Taïeb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just stop and consider all that he's gone through
Don't be quick to condemn him for things he might say
Just remember life turned him that way
He's been stepped on and walked on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
He was crying when I met him he cries harder today
So don't blame him life turned him that way
He's been stepped on...
No don't blame him life turned him that way
The song "One Way to Life" by Jean-Pierre Taïeb talks about a person who appears cold and bitter, and the singer pleads with the listener not to be quick to judge him for the things he may say or do. The singer requests the listener to stop and consider all that he has gone through and not to condemn him. The central message of the song is that the person's behavior is a result of how life has treated him.
Through the use of metaphors, the song communicates the hardships the person has gone through in life. For instance, the lyrics "He's been stepped on and walked on so many times, and I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine" portrays how the person feels dejected, having been hurt and abandoned by the people he trusted. The phrase "life turned him that way" suggests that his behavior is a consequence of unpleasant experiences. Therefore, instead of condemning him, the song encourages the audience to empathize with him and acknowledge that he is a victim of circumstances.

This is my life put into a song, no hope, little happiness, the feeling that’s it’s over . This song is the best thing I’ve heard in my life and can be applied to any sad part in life. It brings me to tears, something so little does.
