The road forks in front of me,
I'm hesitating right now

Oh tell me which one is better

Someone said
"God knows which,
Choose the way by yourself"

And I asked myself,
What should I do?

You're accustomed to repressing your feelings

Now it's time to do what you like
Before your passion fades away...

Try my luck!
At the risk of losing my everything

'Cause I can only live once!!

Try my luck!
(Try my luck!)

Try my luck!
At the risk of losing my everything

'Cause I can only live once!!

The road forks in front of me,
I'm hesitating right now

Oh tell me which one is better

I've followed someone's footsteps
But I feel something's missing

I've forgotten what I wanna do

You're accustomed to repressing your feeling

Now it's time to do what you like
Before your passion fades away...

Try my luck!
(Try my luck!)

Try my luck!
At the risk of losing my everything

'Cause I can only live once!!

Try my luck!
(Try my luck!)

Try my luck!
At the risk of losing my everything

'Cause I can only live once!!

The road forks in front of me,
I'm hesitating right now

I asked myself,
What should I do?

I have chosen the right every time I decide

I'll try to choose the left for the first time...

Try my luck!
(Try my luck!)

Try my luck!
At the risk of losing my everything

'Cause I can only live once!!

Try my luck!
(Try my luck!)

Try my luck!
At the risk of losing my everything

'Cause I can only live once!!
Only live once!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dustbox's song "Try My Luck" speak to the experience of standing at a crossroads in life and trying to make a decision. The singer is hesitating, unsure of which road to take, but ultimately decides to take a chance and "try my luck" by choosing the riskier path. The song suggests that it's better to take risks and follow one's passions than to play it safe and live with regret later on.

The first stanza of the song establishes the singer's dilemma: they are faced with a choice between two paths, but they don't know which one to take. They seek guidance from others but ultimately come to the realization that they must make the decision for themselves. The second stanza alludes to the singer's past experiences of following in someone else's footsteps and feeling unfulfilled. Now, they are urging themselves to pursue their own desires before it's too late.

The chorus, with its repeated call to "try my luck," speaks to the idea of taking risks and living life to the fullest. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the importance of this message. The final stanza of the song shows the singer making a conscious decision to take the riskier path. The use of the phrase "choose the left for the first time" implies that this is a deliberate departure from their usual approach.

Overall, "Try My Luck" is a song that encourages listeners to be bold and take chances, rather than letting fear or indecision hold them back.
