This Is Your Life
Embrace Your Life: A Thoughtful Reflection on Choices
Lyrics
This is your life you're living
This is a statement emphasizing the individual's current existence and experience.
And it's the only one you've got
Highlighting the uniqueness and irreplaceability of one's own life.
It's your life you're giving
Suggesting that the individual has control over their own life choices.
Don't you think it's time you asked yourself for what?
Encouraging self-reflection on the purpose and meaning of one's actions.
This is your life, not a game that you play
Stating that life is not a trivial activity or a mere pastime.
It's your life and you're throwing it away
Expressing concern about the reckless or wasteful behavior of the individual.
You're a runaround
Labeling the person as someone who is constantly engaging in aimless pursuits.
The worst one in our end of town
Criticizing the individual as the least reputable in their part of town.
And everyone knows that I still love you so
Despite flaws, the speaker acknowledges continued love for the person.
That precious wine you're tasting will be bitter when you're done
Metaphorically referring to the consequences of indulging in fleeting pleasures.
It's your life you're wasting
Reiterating the idea that the person is not making the most of their life.
Don't you think it's sad you had to start so young?
Expressing sadness about the person's early start on a regrettable path.
This is your life, not a merry-go-round
Emphasizing life as a serious journey, not a frivolous ride.
It's your life, boy, and you can't live it down
Stating that the individual's actions cannot be easily forgotten or forgiven.
You're a runaround
Repeating the criticism of the person as someone with a reckless lifestyle.
The worst one in our end of town
Highlighting the person's negative reputation in their community.
Yes, everyone knows that I still love you so
Reaffirming love for the person despite their shortcomings.
This is your life
Reiterating that life is significant and not to be taken lightly.
Not just something to do
Rejecting the idea that life is a mere task or obligation.
This is your life
Asserting that life is shared and interconnected with others.
And it's my life, too
Highlighting the speaker's personal investment in the individual's life.
This is your life
Reaffirming the significance of the individual's life.
I know it's your life
Acknowledging the individual's ownership of their life.
I'm saying, don't throw it away
Advising against squandering or wasting one's life.
This is your life but it's my life too
Highlighting the interconnectedness of lives, suggesting shared responsibility.
This is your life
Repeating the assertion of the individual's life as significant.
They say you're a runaround
Reiterating the criticism of the person as someone with a careless lifestyle.
I know it's your life but it's my life too
Affirming the shared nature of life, emphasizing its importance to both parties.
