Song For Life
Sasha & John Digweed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strawberry skies
Sad eyes
Lonely souls waiting for the feeling they wish to know
Told the same old lies
Knocked down every time
It's consuming my mind
When will I draw the line
What's it like to be wanted
To never be forgotten
To receive the words I love you
And not end up heartbroken
What's it like to believe
That there are happy endings
That better days are coming
Who do you think you're deceiving
This is a song for the lonely
Watching hours go by
Life is taking its time
I am losing my mind
Maybe love's a lie
You said we were endgame
Then why'd it go down in flames
When will I have it my way
What's this life's delay
What's like to be wanted
To never be forgotten
To receive the words I love you
And not end up heartbroken
What's it like to believe
That there are happy endings
That better days are coming
Who do you think you're deceiving
Words do damage
So much damage
But I'm the fool who believed everything you said to me
It's almost like you planned this
My common sense had vanished
Ya pick me up just to throw me down down down
What's like to be wanted
To never be forgotten
To receive the words I love you
And not end up heartbroken
What's it like to believe
That there are happy endings
That better days are coming




Who do you think you're deceiving
This is a song for the lonely

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sasha & John Digweed's "Song For Life" describe the struggles and emotions of loneliness, heartbreak, and longing for love. The opening lines set the scene of a world painted in "strawberry skies" but viewed through "sad eyes," where lonely souls are waiting for the feeling they wish to know. The repetition of the phrase "What's it like" throughout the song highlights a sense of disillusionment with love and the singer's desire to know what it truly feels like to be wanted and to find happy endings.


The song then delves into the pain of heartbreak and the damage caused by words that are not kept. The singer is left feeling foolish for believing in the empty promises and plans of their lover, while their common sense seems to have vanished. The lyrics reflect a deep yearning for someone to truly love and care for them, who will not forget them or break their heart. Ultimately, "Song For Life" is a powerful expression of the universal human experience of love and loss.
