This Life
La Rocca Lyrics

Make a friend of who you are
Being true to oneself and embracing one's own identity can lead to success and personal growth.

Things so everlasting take you far
Taking a long-term perspective can help to achieve one's goals and reach far in life.

Try and get away, a reason to give up to you
Sometimes, it can be tempting to give up when things get tough, but it's important to try to overcome challenges and not give up easily.

A love I never understood
The complex nature of love can be difficult to comprehend and navigate.

And now, two years later
Time has passed and things have changed since the previous events in the song.

I'm reading of your wedding in my morning paper
The singer has learned about someone they used to know getting married through a newspaper article.

The future's getting brighter
The future is looking more positive and hopeful.

I need a cigarette and so I reach for my lighter
The artist is feeling stressed or overwhelmed and turns to smoking as a coping mechanism.

And it's the same for you and it's the same for me
We all face similar struggles and challenges in life regardless of our individual circumstances.

But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree
The artist is not alone in their experiences and believes that others can relate to them as well.

That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life
If things had happened differently or people had met at a different time, their lives would have turned out differently.

Bad enough that I'm still here
The artist appears to be in a negative or difficult situation.

Lying through my teeth so loud and clear
The singer may be pretending or hiding their feelings when interacting with others.

Have to get away, I'm walking streets excited, man
The singer needs to take a break or escape their current situation and is walking the streets to clear their mind.

Lying awake and dreaming plans
The singer is awake at night and thinking about their future goals and aspirations.

I'm reading some reviews in my music paper
The artist is reading reviews of music in a newspaper or publication.

I wonder when the days will turn from darker to lighter
The artist is hoping for better days ahead and a brighter future.

Well, it's the same for you and it's the same for me
We all face common struggles and experiences in life.

But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree
The singer feels that others can relate to their experiences and is not alone in their struggles.

That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life
Timing and chance encounters can have a big impact on the course of one's life.
