… Read Full Bio ↴The band allSTARS* is incorrectly scrobbled under this tag by Spotify.
RIP since january 2005 The band known as The Allstars went through a lot of things before actually becoming what it is right now. Having struggled to find [solid] members for over three years, the final addition to the line-up was made in late 2003 with our beloved guitar player Alex. Like most bands that have evolved in the Punk and/or Hardcore scenes, the purpose of our formation was first and foremost the creation of an outlet through which we could speak our minds. We all love hardcore for many different reasons. We’ve all grown up listening to it and now, we feel the time has come for us to contribute to its existence by offering this humble and personal contribution as a band. We do not aim to become models, we certainly aren’t the next “big thing”; we’re a handful of kids who sees the inherent problems of our world and are trying to make it a little better. We may not succeed but we will do our best. We all believe that hardcore should be about sharing ideals, being true to your beliefs and having a good time while being part of a broader networked community. That’s what The Allstars are all about. As we all know, the great punk/hardcore movement is slowly decaying and losing sight of itself as it is being overwhelmed by MTV doppelgangers and their croonies, who treat hardcore as a consumer good. While many kids are raping hardcore’s original ideals by stealing its image in a pretentious and fashionable manner, there are still some out there who are sincere and who will keep up the fight to perpetuate the tradition. Our music goes out to them, it goes out to everyone who will oppose the negative effects that corporate interest has on hardcore but also on upon our daily lives. The battle must and will go on. We strongly believe there is still hope for the scene and the goals it once stood for. We can’t reinvent the movement or correct its history, but we can carry the torch and we can march in the footsteps of our predecessors to keep this dream alive. This is our share, our way to thank back the hardcore scene for what it had given us.

It's My Life
The Allstars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And take a trip inside my head
And I wonder exactly what my purpose is
Do I live to see one hundred
Am I rich
Or am I poor
What's the score
I don't wanna be surprised
I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just wanna see what it's like
Am I loved
Am I hated
In your face
Or understated
How old will I be when I die
Do I turn out alright
Is my fate up to me
Or is it run by a computer
Will my kids go to school or stay at home
In the future
Is there peace
Is there war
What's the score
I don't wanna be surprised
I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just wanna see what it's like
Am I loved
Am I hated
In your face
Or understated
How old will I be when I die
Do I turn out alright
I just wanna see what goes on
A chance to put it right before it goes wrong
Certain things I say that I regret
And erase them all
Erase them all
Save my friends so they don't get hurt
Get the mustard stain off my favorite shirt
Have more vision than a crystal ball
That tells me all
A crystal ball
I don't wanna be surprised
I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just wanna see what it's like
Am I loved
Am I hated
In your face
Or understated
How old will I be when I die
I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just wanna see what it's like
Am I loved
Am I hated
In your face
Or understated
How old will I be when I die
I wanna take a journey to the end of my life
'Cause I just wanna see what it's like
Am I loved
Am I hated
In your face
Or understated
How old will I be when I die
Do I turn out alright
The Allstars' song "It's My Life" is a poignant obsession with the end of life in the writer's perspective. The lyrics portray the thoughts and worries that go through a person's mind as they try to picture themselves at the end of their life - what will they have accomplished, who will be with them, how will they be remembered? The lyrics show a sense of regret, wondering whether they could have done more to ensure their memories of the final days are pleasant.
The lyrics question the notion of whether fate is predetermined by a higher power or if we have the power to make our path. It questions the uncertainty of the future and whether everything that happens is beyond our control. The idea of existence and purpose of life is prevalent throughout the song.
The final verses of the song reveal a desire to put things right, erase the mistakes that were made, and the wish to have more control and clarity over life's events. The lyrics paint an image of someone who acknowledges that there are things they could have done differently, but they can still change their present towards a better future.
