Life of the Party
The Veronicas Allday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I just want to find somebody, find somebody
You used to be the life of the party
We were smoking loud like a Harley
You were playing games like Atari
You're not Ashton Kutcher so don't punk me
Old problems that we always have to wrestle
Being stone cold to me never gentle
But I still hang up when my ex calls
Yeah, its only retrograde just let it be for a while
Some people they wanna be seen but I could leave in the night
All these wolves in sheep's clothing you don't see 'til they bite
All these sheep try to tell me what to speak in the mic
We'll have big coats like the Rolling Stones
Somewhere in the country we can call our own
My mum always told me that the good ones go
When the lights come on and you're all alone
When the lights come on and you're all alone
When the lights come on and you're all alone
My mum always told me that the good ones go
When the lights come on and you're all alone
Everybody wants to be the life of the party
But I just want to find somebody, find somebody
When the lights come on and you're all alone
Everybody wants to be the life of the party
But I just want to find somebody, find somebody
When the lights come on and you're all alone
Used to be the life of the party, drip, drip crying in Versace
With this around my neck, yeah she got me
Just when I thought nothing could stop me
Oh, I woke up alone, hotel beds are cold, yeah
I left you at home, I miss who I was there, when I didn't care
(When I didn't care)
(You used to be the life of the party)
We'll have big coats like the Rolling Stones
Somewhere in the country we can call our own
My mum always told me that the good ones go
When the lights come on and you're all alone
When the lights come on and you're all alone
When the lights come on and you're all alone
My mum always told me that the good ones go
When the lights come on and you're all alone
Everybody wants to be the life of the party
But I just want to find somebody, find somebody
When the lights come on and you're all alone
Everybody wants to be the life of the party
But I just want to find somebody, find somebody
When the lights come on and you're all alone
Everybody wants to be the life of the party
But I just want to find somebody, find somebody
When the lights come on and you're all alone
Everybody wants to be the life of the party
But I just want to find somebody, find somebody
When the lights come on and you're all alone
The Veronicas Allday's song "Life of the Party" is a reflection on the party culture that has become so prevalent in today's society. The song explores the desire to be the center of attention and the constant need for stimulation, but also highlights the importance of finding genuine human connection in a world where people are more concerned with appearances than with substance. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is tired of the superficiality of the party scene and is searching for something more meaningful.
The first verse reminisces about the past when the singer was the life of the party, smoking and playing games, but it is clear that this lifestyle is no longer fulfilling. The second verse acknowledges the difficulties of maintaining relationships in a world where people are always on the move, and old problems must continually be dealt with. The chorus repeats the idea that everyone wants to be the life of the party, but the singer is looking for something more genuine, someone to connect with on a deeper level.
The bridge emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself, even when others try to dictate one's actions. It also refers to the transient nature of relationships and the idea that we must cherish meaningful connections while we have them. The song ends on the same note as it began, highlighting the desire to find someone to share life with when all the lights come on, and we are left alone.
