Your Life
Stephen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you gonna dance?
Are you gonna cry?
This is your life. Woah
Are you making plans?
Are you gonna try?
This is your life.
Hey I know, you saw some things but you didn't expect to
Nobody to help you.
Listen close, cause what you keep, is never going to leave you
It's only gonna leave you with the long nights of cold sweats
Searching for the silence you can't get
It only takes a couple months to know everything you love
Now you can't look to yourself
Crying to the high wall to runs out. Cutting ends
The only way to find what you keep inside
Are you gonna dance?
Are you gonna cry?
This is your life. Woah
Are you making plans?
Are you gonna try?
This is your life.
Everytime I seem to make these same mistakes
Cause everytime I think that I finally found my way
It's always the memories that make it hard to change
It's only a memory.
So are you gonna dance?
Are you gonna cry?




This is your life
Yeah this is your life.

Overall Meaning

In Stephen's song "Your Life," he poses some sobering questions to the listener - Are you going to dance? Are you going to cry? This is your life. Are you making plans? Are you going to try? This is your life. He begins the song by acknowledging that the listener might have seen some challenging things that they didn't expect and might feel like nobody is there to help them. He then goes on to say that what we keep within ourselves will never leave us and will only cause long nights of cold sweats, where we search for silence that we can't find.


The next verse talks about how it only takes a few months to know everything we love, but now we can't even look to ourselves as we cry to high walls and cut loose ends. The only way to find what we keep within ourselves, according to Stephen, is to dance or try, to embrace our lives and make the most of it because this is our life. The chorus repeats, reminding us that this is the only life we have and it's up to us to make something of it.


The song leaves us with the knowledge that we all make the same mistakes, and it's always the memories that make it hard to change. At the end of the day, all we can do is dance and live our lives to the fullest, even through the moments that make us want to cry. Overall, Stephen's "Your Life" is a poignant reminder that we only have one life to live, and it's up to us to make the most of it.
