Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking down at myself as a child
And he looked back at me
Crying tears of defeat
From his eyes
He said I know all the lies
That you hide behind every fake smile
Am I gonna be lonely like you
For all my life
I've been living in yesterday
All my life
A dollar short and a day too late
I was standing in the edge
Looking down at the drink in my hand
And it looked back at me
Saying how in the hell
Have you been
I've been dryer than dirt
Dragging all of my thoughts through the quick sand
Now I'm quenching my thirst and I'm running like
All my life
I've been living in yesterday
All my life
A dollar short and a day too late
All my life
Heaven can take me
But no one can save me from hell again
You'll never erase me
I'm back on the road again
All my life
I've been living in yesterday
All my life
A dollar short and a day too late
All my life
All my life
The lyrics of Ozzy Osbourne's song In My Life tells a story of self-reflection and realization, as well as a longing for meaning and purpose. In the first verse, the singer looks at himself as a child and sees the pain he hid behind fake smiles. This child represents the parts of the singer that he has repressed and ignored, leading him to question whether he will end up alone and unfulfilled like the child he sees. The second verse shows the singer looking at the drink in his hand, realizing the extent of his own self-destructive behavior and how it has affected his life. He recognizes that he has been living in the past, unable to move forward and make the most of his life.
The chorus of the song, "All my life, I've been living in yesterday, a dollar short and a day too late," speaks to the regrets and missed opportunities the singer has experienced. The repetition of this line emphasizes the weight of his past and how it has held him back. The bridge speaks of the singer's desire for change and hope for redemption: "Heaven can take me, but no one can save me from hell again, you'll never erase me, I'm back on the road again." This line shows that even though his past has caused him pain, he is still moving forward and seeking a better future for himself.
Overall, the lyrics of "In My Life" highlight the importance of self-reflection, acknowledging and dealing with pain, and taking steps towards a better future.
