🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

“Live My Life” is a refreshing pop-punk anthem that rejects rigid societal norms and boring conventions. The lyrics serve as a bold declaration of independence, asserting that there is no single correct answer to life and that one should not be bound by others’ expectations. It encourages listeners to break free from restraints, trust in themselves, and confidently become the “main character” of their own stories, pursuing their own unique path to happiness.
