Its My Life
Studio 99 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
It's my life
It's now or never
I just wanna live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
It's My life
It's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life
The lyrics to Studio 99's song "It's My Life" are a powerful declaration of personal agency and determination. The singer asserts that this is not a song for the broken-hearted or the faith-departed, but for those who want to live life on their own terms. They refuse to blend into the anonymous crowd or simply hope for good luck; instead, they will use their voice to make themselves heard and create their own opportunities. The chorus drives home this message with bold repetition: "It's my life / It's now or never / I ain't gonna live forever / I just wanna live while I'm alive."
The second verse pays homage to those who have faced challenges and setbacks but still remained steadfast in their convictions. "Tommy and Gina" represent individuals who refuse to back down and take control of their lives, despite the obstacles. The song encourages listeners to do the same, to "make your own breaks" and not rely on fate to determine their future. The bridge reinforces this message with a call to "stand tall" and not back down when faced with resistance.
Overall, "It's My Life" is a motivational anthem that inspires listeners to take control of their lives and live with purpose. It encourages individuals to pursue their dreams and passions, rather than settling for the status quo or following someone else's path.
