live your life
Mika Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got the whole world in your pocket
But you just don't know
Everybody's smiling at you
Everywhere you go
It's like you've got that secret
That everybody else wants to know

Anywhere you are
Is just like home to you
From the beaches of Manilla
Down to Kathmandu
Yeah, you've got that secret
That everybody else wants to know
But you won't ever let it go, oh

Everybody wanna hold your hand
Everybody wanna shine that bright
Everybody wanna say they can
Everybody wanna live your life
Everybody wanna talk like you
Only wanna do the things you do
Cause they know it's gonna turn out right
Everybody wanna live your life

We take a whole room full of strangers
And we make them friends
We do it all around the world
Just so it never ends
It don't matter where we're coming from or going to
You're the only one that ever turns a grey sky blue
And everybody needs a friend like you, oh

Everybody wanna hold your hand
Everybody wanna shine that bright
Everybody wanna say they can
Everybody wanna live your life
Everybody wanna talk like you
Only wanna do the things you do
Cause they know it's gonna turn out right
Everybody wanna live your life

Somos ciudadanos del mundo así
Yo siempre a tu lado y tu junto a mi
El mundo esta en tus manos, no lo sabes ya
Como un diamante siempre brillara, so

Everybody wanna hold your hand
Everybody wanna shine that bright
Everybody wanna say they can
Everybody wanna live your life
Everybody wanna talk like you
Only wanna do the things you do
Cause they know it's gonna turn out right
Everybody wanna live your life




Everybody wanna live your life
Everybody wanna live your life

Overall Meaning

In Mika's song "Live Your Life," he highlights the admiration and scrutiny of those who seem to have it all. The lyrics describe a person who seems to have the secret to happiness, and they carry it with them wherever they go. Everywhere they travel, they find themselves at home, and others are envious of their charisma and positive energy. The song speaks to the human desire to emulate and replicate a life that we believe to be full of joy and success. Mika's use of language hints at how easy it is to envy the outer facade of someone's life, but what's hidden beneath that surface may be far more complex and difficult.


The chorus of the song speaks to the universal truth that we all crave success and joy, and we often look to others to emulate it. The idea of wanting to live someone else's life is something that resonates with most people. However, Mika's song suggests that we should focus on being the best version of ourselves and embrace who we are in this moment, rather than chase after the life of someone else.

Interestingly, Mika's song uses a mix of English and Spanish lyrics, which adds an additional level of depth and global appeal.
