Gambler's Life
Nick 13 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've lived a life of good times
Money and women came my way
But I always lost in both
'Cause all streaks turn cold someday

And then here come the bad times
But when they come they never stay
Because I leave it all behind
The diamonds in the night sky light my way

That's the way it goes
In this life we chose
My heart is with this life
Though it cost me everything

Fear of loss, it keeps you
Stuck in some place you don't want to stay
But I've lost it all and come back many times
I'll never be afraid

That's the way it goes
In this life we chose
You've got to take a chance
If it costs you everything

That's the way it goes
In this gambler's life




This is what we chose
So I'll roll the dice

Line by Line Meaning

I've lived a life of good times
I have experienced a life full of joyful moments


Money and women came my way
I have had financial prosperity and love interests


But I always lost in both
However, I have never been successful in any of them


'Cause all streaks turn cold someday
Since every winning or successful streak comes to an end eventually


And then here come the bad times
Then come the unfavorable moments


But when they come they never stay
But they are also fleeting and ephemeral


Because I leave it all behind
I abandon my problems and difficulties


The diamonds in the night sky light my way
The stars guide me towards the future


That's the way it goes
That's just how life works


In this life we chose
In this life that we have willingly selected to live


My heart is with this life
I have a strong attachment to this life despite its challenges


Though it cost me everything
Even though my life choices have led to significant sacrifices


Fear of loss, it keeps you
The dread of losing something hinders you from taking risks


Stuck in some place you don't want to stay
It traps you in an environment that you do not want to be in


But I've lost it all and come back many times
Although I have experienced major losses, I have also made a comeback many times


I'll never be afraid
I am unafraid and fearless of taking chances and risking everything


You've got to take a chance
You have to seize every opportunity that comes your way


If it costs you everything
Even if that means sacrificing everything you have


In this gambler's life
In this life filled with uncertainty and risk-taking


This is what we chose
This is the path we have chosen


So I'll roll the dice
So, I will continue to take chances in life
