THIS IS YOUR LIFE
Moony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where is the purpose in your life
Where is the truth, do you remember your hopes, your dreams
They are no longer your own
This day is for living your own life
Don't let this world capture your heart
Your passion lost to a thousand themes
Surrendered to the screen
This is not a story, this is not a book
This is your life
And this is not a play, some TV show you've seen
This is real life, you know that
This is your, this is your life, hey hey hey
This is your, this is your life

You act like a child playing games now
Play and pretend, art of disguise
Alone and lost in all your lies

This is not a story, this is not a book
This is your life
And this is not a play, some TV show you've seen
This is real life, you know that
This is your, this is your life, hey hey hey hey
This is real, this is real life

There is no rehearsal, no second chance




No false start, no better circumstance,
Oh oh oh-oh-oh, oh this is real life!

The original song was written by a group called 'Banderas' from their album 'Ripe'. Fantastic song! Always picks me up when I am feeling down or sorry for myself.

Gostaria muito de ouvir uma Bossa Nova com as batidas de Drum N' Bass na voz da Moony, na certeza que ia ser genial. :-)

Wow... This reminds me of the 90s SO much... Specifically back when Sega was in full force in the gaming industry. A lot of Saturn-era titles had music similar to this... Ah, those were the days...

I love the Jazz / Hip Hop feel in this song. Like a Dance version of Sade's material.
