Possessing a unique style of music that combines a creative blend of upbeat roots reggae with the reverberating echoes of dub, comes a man with no limit for his musical abilities. Stick Figure's music is written, recorded, and produced by Scott Woodruff, a young man from Duxbury, MA.
All of Stick Figure's songs are made by recording each instrument separately, layering several tracks on top of one another in unison.
Stick Figure recently relocated to Southern California and has picked up three new members for the live band, Brendan Dane (San Diego) on bass, Todd Smith (San Clemente) on drums and Kevin Bong (San Diego) on keys. All are incredible musicians and are surely a great addition to the Stick Figure sound. The band is currently in the process of recording their first debut album together, expecting to drop this Winter.
Walk of Life
Stick Figure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It all started on a peaceful night, you walked into my life
You say that Im to blame, I know its not my fault
One will say that it did not work out, it wasnt for too long
Catch me on a bad day and I wont cry
Even if the stars fall from the sky
Look into my eyes you know Im high
I think you know
For who is to say all life is created equal
When some die happy and some die poor
To say that money is the root of all evil
When money is power and nothing more
If power brings evil and evil brings power
Then when will the time come when the earth will devour
Catch me on a good day and I wont cry
Even if the stars fall from the sky
Look into my eyes you know Im high
You wont ever ever know
I think you know
I see a man hes walking through my mind
There is colors in his eyes, but he sees just fine
And he seems so kind the way he makes me unwind
Im twisting through this magical space in time
Let me sing
Let me sing a song, let me sing about you
Every single song, yes I sing about you
Every single song is strictly about you
Look into my eyes you know Im high
Take it slow
Walk of Life by Stick Figure is a song about love and the reality of how it can complicate life. The lyrics reveal the singer's experience with love, from the moment he saw his partner's face, through the highs and lows of the relationship.
The song begins on a positive note, with the singer expressing that when he saw his partner's face, he thought he found his light. The phrase "Walk of Life" in the chorus conveys the idea that love is a journey, full of different experiences that lead to a path. He sings about how they met on a peaceful night, and she walked into his life. However, as the song progresses, the romance begins to fade away. The singer takes some of the blame for this, but he also knows that it was not entirely his fault.
The second verse takes a turn and becomes more philosophical. The lyrics express an existential thought that all life is not created equal. The chorus repeats but with different lyrics suggesting that the singer can keep his composure on both good and bad days, and people may not even know what he's going through.
The bridge of the song tells a story of a man who is walking through the singer's mind. He seems kind and makes him unwind. This lyric could symbolize that the singer is reflecting on the past and how his relationship with his partner makes him feel at ease.
In conclusion, "Walk of Life" by Stick Figure is a beautiful love song that also addresses some complex and serious themes about life, power, and the nature of love itself.

For who is to say all life is created equal
Who are we to judge and decide that all lives are created equally when some people die happy and others die in poverty?
When some die happy and some die poor
Death doesn't discriminate and sometimes we see people who've lived life to the fullest pass away, while some others who've had a hard time living are still alive.
To say that money is the root of all evil
While money may be blamed for causing evil or wrongdoing, it's just a source of power and influence and not the only true root cause of evil in the world.
When money is power and nothing more
Money becomes a source of power only if we give it that power, and in reality, it's just a piece of paper and nothing more.
If power brings evil and evil brings power
There's a vicious cycle between power and evil - sometimes, people do immoral things to gain power and sometimes having power itself leads to evil thoughts and actions.
Then when will the time come when the earth will devour
It raises a question of our existence and mortality - when we die, the earth will consume our bodies and it begs the question - what's the purpose of it all?
