Life
Tony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a blind illusion on a beam of light
If you listen to the story it doesn't seem quite right
It's a true lie in a big life
It was sacred and you
As black became blue
Faces were pinned to the wind again
Shooting stars lit up the sky
It's a fool's eye that interprets the sky
It's a blind illusion on a beam of light
If you listen to the story it doesn't seem quite right
It's a true lie in a big life
Minds only on the sky
Falling stars in a long night
Pouring shouts and rain again
Crowds and waves cave in
It's a fool's eye that interprets the sky
It's a blind illusion on a beam of light
If you listen to the story it doesn't feel quite right
It's a true lie in a big life
It's a fool's eye that interprets the sky
It's a blind illusion on a beam of light
If you listen to the story it doesn't feel quite right
It's a true lie in a big life
It's a true lie in a big life
It's a true lie in a big life
The lyrics of Tony Bennett's "The Good Life" portray the stereotypical notion of a perfect life, one that is full of fun and free from any sadness. However, the song brings to light the irony of such an ideal life. The good life, as portrayed in the song, entails hiding one's true feelings and not taking the risk of falling in love. The line "You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance" points out the fear of vulnerability and heartbreak that comes with falling in love. The song advises honesty and warns against faking romance.
The good life is also portrayed as a life that is free and boundless. However, in this condition of freedom, one is left to face heartaches and challenges alone. The song acknowledges that the good life is desirable, but also warns that it may not be what one expects. Finally, the lyrics advise to remember that true love remains even when one is trying to live the good life. The closing line "just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye" acknowledges that the good life is unattainable and that love is the only real source of happiness.
