Adventure of a Lifetime
Marcell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
We are legends, every day
That's what she told him

I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart beneath my skin
I feel my heart beating
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

Said I can't go on, not in this way
I'm a dream, I die by light of day
Gonna hold up half the sky and say
Only I own me

I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart beneath my skin
Oh, I can feel my heart beating
'Cause you make me feel
Like I'm alive again
Alive again
Oh, you make me feel
Like I'm alive again

Turn your magic on, to me she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
Under this pressure, under this weight
We are diamonds taking shape
We are diamonds taking shape
(Woo hoo, woo hoo)

If we've only got this life
This adventure oh then I
If we've only got this life
You'll get me through, oh
If we've only got this life
And this adventure, oh then I
Wanna share it with you
With you, with you
Sing it, oh, say yeah!





Woo hoo (woo hoo)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Adventure of a Lifetime" by Marcel are about the power of love and the excitement of living life to the fullest. The opening line, "turn your magic on," suggests that the person speaking is asking someone else to awaken their vibrant, joyful side so that they can experience everything they have ever wanted. This person believes that anything is possible, that they are "legends every day," and that the world is full of opportunities waiting to be grasped.


The second verse incorporates a critique of the status quo, with the singer saying that they cannot continue living according to other peoples’ expectations, “not in this way," but instead wants to own their life and be in control of their own destiny. The chorus reinforces the transformative power of love on a person: it says that when this person is with their loved one, they feel as though they have come back to life, and that the world is suddenly full of possibilities once again.


The closing stanza advocates for living life to the fullest, as the singer insists, "If we've only got this life / This adventure oh then I / Wanna share it with you." In essence, this song is an adventure in itself, replete with wonder, romance, and the promise of freedom from monotony and mundane existence.

Turn your magic on
Umi she'd say
Everything you want's a dream away
And we are legends every day
That's what she told me
