Good Life
Sacha Distel feat.Dionne Warwick Lyrics

The lyrics to "Good Life" by Sacha Distel feat. Dionne Warwick seem to be a commentary on the idea of a "good life" and how it can often be a façade for underlying sadness and a fear of vulnerability. The opening lines, "Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal/Mm, the good life lets you hide all the sadness you feel" imply that the singer sees through the illusion of the "good life" and recognizes that it is largely a cover-up for deeper emotional pain.

The chorus further underscores this theme by suggesting that the pursuit of the "good life" often involves avoiding genuine emotional connections with others. The line, "You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance/So please be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance" suggests that the singer sees love as something that requires vulnerability and risk, which are antithetical to the surface-level pleasures of the "good life".

The final verse takes on a more personal tone, with the singer indirectly challenging the person they're addressing to recognize the emptiness of their pursuits and consider a more meaningful connection. The lines, "Please remember I still want you, and in case you wonder why/Well, just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye" suggest that there is something deeper and more rewarding to be found beyond the superficial trappings of the "good life".
