Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll feel the jail
Embed, it feels
Like eternal ache
Stuff me in
It's beautiful
Let me out
Just like he did
The doll I thought I lost
I left it at the dance
When we drove, we crashed
It flew right out my hands
Us two, we act as one
I wish we never did
It's all his fucking fault
He thought that I was him
If you walked in my skin
You'll feel the jail
Embed, it feels
Like eternal ache
Stuff me in
It's beautiful
Let me out
Just like he did
The first verse of Quannnic's song "Life Imitates Life" speaks to the pain and suffering experienced when trapped within oneself. The use of the phrase "walked in my skin" suggests a level of intimacy as the listener is invited to experience life from the artist's perspective. The connotation of "jail" is a metaphor for both physical and emotional confinement. The singer describes their feelings as "eternal ache," indicating that the pain has been a constant companion. The line "Stuff me in, It's beautiful," has a dual meaning. On one hand, it could be interpreted as the artist finding beauty in the pain. On the other hand, snuffing out the pain could be seen as a beautiful gesture, hence the use of "stuff me in." The line "let me out, just like he did," refers to someone who has managed to escape from the jail of their emotions, possibly inspiring the artist's desire to be freed from their own emotional imprisonment.
In the second verse, the artist uses the metaphor of a doll lost at a dance to describe a fractured relationship. "Us two, we act as one," suggests a symbiotic relationship in which the two parties have become so enmeshed that they've lost their individuality. The line "I wish we never did" suggests regret for having entered into the relationship at all. The artist assigns fault to the other party, describing "It's all his fucking fault, He thought that I was him." This line suggests that the other party's desire to merge with the artist led to the demise of the relationship.
Overall, "Life Imitates Life" is a reflection on the cyclical nature of pain and desire to break free. However, it's evident that the artist recognizes that there is some beauty in the struggle.

@@cantskateswitchlikethat it's a genre thats like 80% of this songs DNA. Some bands:
Whirr (basically my favorite)
My Bloody Valentine
Animal Ghosts
Nothing (a heavier sound like this track, Nothing has some punk influences)
Infinity Girl
Kraus
Leaving Time
Grivo
Sianspheric
Pasteboard (Japanese)
Deafcult (one of my personal favorites)
Oeil
Slow Crush (another favorite)
True Widow (a shoegaze/doom hybrid)
Doused
My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive are largely considered foundational acts to the genre. Bands like Whirr, Deafcult, and Nothing are more modern takes. Bands like Smashing Pumpkins (especially Siamese Dream) and Deftones are hugely influenced by the genre. There's a lot of stuff to explore in SG. Title Fights latest album has a lot of shoegaze stuff in there too.

He's just really committed to making sure that our game has the most integrity
And is as awesome as it can be
Guitar Mesa Boogie Hero, huh? How about
RedOctane presents Guitar Hero Mesa Boogie company
Provided by Harmonix Music Systems?
Helen's our associate producer, what she does, um
Well, ugh, I don't really know what she does
But it's gotta be really hard because she sighs a lot
And um, yells, and it's kinda like working with a surly teenager
Hey, what's up Helen? Uh, it looks like you're not too busy
I've got some scheduling for you to do
Can you update the coder schedule?
And also I need you to get the art assets
This totally blows

This is something I feel like I'd hear on MTV in 2005 with Paramore and Linkin Park. The sheer nostalgia is incredible
