Is This Life
Reflections on Life's Uncertainties: 'Is This Life' by Arly Scott
Lyrics
How many months has it been
Reflecting on the duration since encountering the person.
Since I've seen your face around
Expressing a sense of absence or distance from the person's presence.
If I could choose again
An imaginary reconsideration of choices related to the person.
I'd never make a sound
Regret over a decision that led to silence or lack of expression.
Your happiness is like
Comparing the person's happiness to a powerful and potentially harmful influence.
A warm gun in your hand
Metaphorically describing the person's happiness as a weapon.
You fired without warning
Highlighting a sudden and unexpected action by the person.
It went straight to my head
The impact of the person's action affecting the speaker profoundly.
Is this life
Pondering the nature and purpose of life in connection to the relationship.
Meant for us
Questioning if life has a particular significance for both individuals.
Is this life
Repetition of the existential query, emphasizing uncertainty.
Meant for us
Reiterating the uncertainty regarding the purpose of life in their context.
I lost with winning cards
Describing a situation where despite having advantageous circumstances, the speaker faced defeat.
I'll never live it down
Expressing enduring shame or guilt associated with a past event.
You're always one foot out the door
Characterizing the person as always ready to leave or end the relationship.
And I'll never leave this town
Commitment to remain in the current location despite challenges.
No I'll never leave this town
Reaffirming the decision to stay in the current place.
Is this life
Repeating the existential questioning in the context of the relationship.
Meant for us
Rephrasing the query about life's purpose, emphasizing a shared experience.
Is this life
Restating the uncertainty regarding the purpose of life for both individuals.
Meant for us
Reiterating the shared uncertainty about life's meaning in their relationship.
