Better than li-I-I-I-I-fe
Makes it alright ,

Its out of sight,
Blinded by a dream
Looking so real,
Seeing a sign, makes me wanna feel
Better than life

Feelin' alright,

Better than life
I know its so still
Better than life
Feeling alright,
Better than life
Seeing what might.
Better than life

Seeing both sides
And know what to do
Looking to one favor of you.
Taking the other
There is no doubt,

Better than life I no its so still
The song "Better Than Life" by Ultrabeat is a dance-pop track that talks about the idea of living a life that is better than the current reality. The song starts with a chant-like repetition of the word "life," followed by the chorus, which talks about how turning away from one's problems can make everything alright. The idea of being blinded by a dream that seems so real is also explored, and the idea of feeling better than life is proposed as a way to ease one's struggles. The lyrics continue with the proposition that seeing what might be a better life, even if it's just a picture or a glimpse, can bring comfort and satisfaction.
The second verse of the song suggests that the singer has been looking at both sides of a situation and knows what to do. However, the chorus suggests that regardless of the outcomes, the singer will always be better than life. This idea of being able to overcome any situation and feeling better than life itself is explored throughout the song.
The repetitive chants of "Li-I-I-I-I-fe" give the song an infectious chorus, and the upbeat electro-pop rhythm supports the lyrics' overarching theme of hope and optimism. The song is a perfect example of the uplifting, energetic dance-pop tracks that defined the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Repetition of the word 'life' for emphasis
Better than li-I-I-I-I-fe
Something so good it surpasses normal, everyday life
Turning away ,
Disregarding something that is bothering you
Makes it alright ,
Ignoring a problem can alleviate the negativity associated with it
Not looking
Avoiding something
Its out of sight,
When you avoid something, it is no longer in your field of vision
Blinded by a dream
Being so consumed by a fantasy or ambition that you cannot see reality
Looking so real,
The fantasy or ambition is so convincing that it appears to be actuality
Seeing a sign, makes me wanna feel
An indication that your fantasy or ambition is attainable shines light on your desire to experience it
Feelin' alright,
Feeling content with your current emotional state
Seeing what might,
Visualizing the potential outcomes of a situation
Its only a picture
The situation is only a representation and doesn't actually exist
I know its so still
Being accepting of the fact that the fantasy is still just an imaginative representation
Seeing both sides
Considering every angle of a situation
And know what to do
Understanding the right course of action based on your consideration
Looking to one favor of you.
Asking for help from someone specific
Taking the other
Choosing an option different from the one you were considering before
There is no doubt,
Having no reservations or uncertainty about your decision
I will always be
A consistent state of being
Better than life
Something so fulfilling that it is superior to everyday existence
Feeling alright
Contentment with your current emotional state
Seeing what might,
Visualizing the potential outcomes of a situation
Its only a picture
The situation is only a representation and doesn't actually exist
I no its so still
Accepting that the optimistic portrayal of the situation is not in reality
