This song has it all: rhythm, chorus, even a choir. And it's about taking the bull by its horns, getting your life back. Here it tells the story of Candy who used to go by Jackie and had to turn her life around after maybe being in jail (as there are cops involved) or perhaps something else. But it's waiting for something better and knowing that it'll come eventually but the first step is to really do that, assume that it's your life and nobody else's
This Is Your Life
Lyrics
Candy talks to strangers
Thinks her life's in danger
No one gives a damn about her hair
It's lonely down on track street
She used to go by Jackie
The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your prayers
Take a number where the blood just barely dried
Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
This feeling won't go
Crooked wheels keep turning
Children, are you learning
Acclimatize but don't you lose the plot
A history of blisters
Your brothers and your sisters
Somewhere in the pages we forgot
Take a number Jackie
Where the blood just barely dried
You know I'm on your side
Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
You gotta be stronger than the story
Don't let it blind you
Rivers of shadow
This feeling wont go
And the sky is full of dreams
But you don't know how to fly
I don't have a simple answer
But I know that I could answer
Something better
This feeling won't go
Wait for it [Repeat: x4]
