Live My Life
Letters And Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In days ahead we find
We're strangers passing by
Was I wrong here, I wrong here?

I wasn't strong was I, strong was I?
Hey, what went wrong there?
We held on when they let go
Tonight we crawl to everyone
To save the things we never had there
They can't save a dying light

I had blamed everything on everyone
I had prayed for everything, for everyone

And we're only only

Faces are all blind
Strangers lost in time
Was I wrong here, I wrong here?
I didn't run did I, run did I?
And we're only only





And we're only wasting (time)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Letters And Lights' song Live My Life may seem open to interpretation, as they describe the feeling of being lost and disconnected from others. At the beginning of the song, the singer observes that people are merely passing by without really knowing or understanding each other. The question "Was I wrong here, I wrong here?" implies a sense of doubt and self-blame. The repetition of "I wasn't strong was I, strong was I?" highlights a feeling of weakness and insecurity. The chorus speaks of the desire for connection ("Tonight we crawl to everyone") and the fear of losing what little we have ("To save the things we never had there. They can't save a dying light"). The second verse continues with a confession of past mistakes ("I had blamed everything on everyone" and "I had prayed for everything, for everyone"). The final chorus concludes with the realization that we are all just "Faces are all blind, Strangers lost in time", and that ultimately, "we're only wasting time".


The lyrics of this song can be interpreted in different ways, but overall they seem to express a sense of loneliness, regret, and longing for deeper connections. The use of repetition and rhetorical questions adds to the emotional intensity of the song. The references to light and darkness (e.g. "a dying light") can also be seen as metaphors for hope and despair.


Line by Line Meaning

In days ahead we find
As time passes by we realize


We're strangers passing by
We're like unfamiliar people to each other


Was I wrong here, I wrong here?
Did I make a mistake here?


I wasn't strong was I, strong was I?
I lacked the strength that I needed


Hey, what went wrong there?
What happened that caused everything to go wrong?


We held on when they let go
We stuck together when others gave up


Tonight we crawl to everyone
We plead with anyone who will listen


To save the things we never had there
To rescue what we never truly had


They can't save a dying light
No one can hold on to something that's fading away


I had blamed everything on everyone
I pointed the finger at everyone else for my problems


I had prayed for everything, for everyone
I wished for everything for everyone else instead of myself


And we're only only
And we're just merely


Faces are all blind
We don't truly see each other


Strangers lost in time
People who don't know each other and are disconnected by time


I didn't run did I, run did I?
Did I fail to act when I should have?


And we're only only
And we're just merely


And we're only wasting (time)
And we're just simply passing time without purpose
