It's My Life
Pacific Edge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose
I'd tell myself what good do you do
Convince myself
It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
It's my life (it's my life)
Don't you forget (don't you forget)




Caught in the crowd (caught in the crowd)
It never ends (it never ends)

Overall Meaning

In Pacific Edge's song "It's My Life," the lyrics speak to the singer's experiences in love and the struggle to assert their own agency and independence. The opening lines, "It's funny how I find myself in love with you, If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose, One half won't do," suggest a sense of confusion and disbelief that the singer has fallen in love. They express a willingness to let go of logical reasoning and even sacrifice their own wellbeing to be with this person.


As the song progresses, the chorus repeats the phrase "It's my life, don't you forget, it never ends" several times, emphasizing the singer's desire to assert their ownership over their own life and decisions. They are determined not to let anyone else dictate their choices or define their existence. The line "Funny how I blind myself, I never knew, If I was sometimes played upon, Afraid to lose" suggests that the singer may have been blinded by love, not fully recognizing when they were being taken advantage of or manipulated. They ask themselves what good it does to continue convincing themselves of something that may not be healthy or beneficial.


The lyrics also touch upon the feeling of being caught in the crowd, suggesting a sense of being overwhelmed or trapped by societal expectations or external influences. However, the chorus reaffirms the singer's commitment to living on their own terms and not forgetting that it is their life to live.


Overall, "It's My Life" by Pacific Edge explores themes of love, self-empowerment, and the struggle to maintain personal agency in the face of external pressures.
