What A Life
Scarlet Pleasure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a life, what a night
What a beautiful, beautiful ride
Don't know where I'm in five but I'm young and alive
Fuck what they are saying, what a life

I am so thrilled right now
'Cause I'm poppin' (Woah) right now
Don't wanna worry 'bout a thing (Don't wanna worry)
But it makes me terrified
To be on the other side
How long before I go insane? (Insane)
I am so thrilled right now
'Cause I'm poppin' (Woah) right now
Don't wanna worry 'bout a thing (Don't wanna worry)
But it makes me terrified
To be on the other side
How long before I go insane?

What a life, what a night (Wooh)
What a beautiful, beautiful ride (Yeah, yeah)
Don't know where I'm in five but I'm young and alive (Wooh)
Fuck what they are saying, what a life (Yeah yeah)
It's okay, it's okay
That we're living, we're living this way (Yeah, yeah)
Don't know where I'm in five but I'm young and alive (Wooh)
Fuck what they are saying, what a life

Don't really have a clue
Nothing I need to do
I got some money but ain't got no plans (Ain't got no plans)
It's making me paranoid
To float like an asteroid
How long before I go insane? (Insane)
Don't really have a clue
Nothing I need to do
I got some money but ain't got no plans (Ain't got no plans)
It's making me paranoid
To float like an asteroid
How long before I go insane?

What a life, what a night (Wooh)
What a beautiful, beautiful ride
Don't know where I'm in five but I'm young and alive
Fuck what they are saying, what a life (Yeah, yeah)
It's okay, it's okay
That we're living, we're living this way (Yeah, yeah)




Don't know where I'm in five but I'm young and alive (Wooh)
Fuck what they are saying, what a life

@elyastoohey6621

Uh huh. It vents all the good and the bad.

That life is what you choose it to be. That a depressed old divorcee with a sick dog can be a legend and inspire confidence in his soccer team.

Or a man with some chronic pain issues can reconnect with his family.


It’s less a movie about pure alcohol, and about masculinity and self expression.
That when they drink they break beyond the social norms they are meant to conform to.

Mads Mikkelsen shared a story in an interview that he actually knows the lead singer for Scarlett Pleasure. He used to be friends with Mikkelsen’s daughter, he went on to share how he ended up driving this young man home a time or two from high school parties along with his daughter. He finished the story sharing how poetic he thought it was that the song as well as the movie is very much about alcohol and life affirmation and he drove him home drunk a time or two. I absolutely love that story.

@tigrankarakhanyan9273

Not Mads, huh, Thomas Vinterberg, the director of the movie
