Theme
A fiercely personal song addressing critics and judgmental people who constantly try to dictate how the narrator should live their life. The core question, **'Whose life is this anyway?'**, emphasizes the frustration and rebellion against unwanted advice, backstabbing, and external pressures that lead to an **'anxiety attack'**.
Lyrics
Ooh, you're just in time
Come get inside my head
Ooh, the **war of words**
You're **underneath my skin**
You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go
I see you in the **shadows**
You think you know what's **best for me**
You hate everything you see in me
Have you looked in a **mirror**?
Hey, just **whose life is this anyway**?
You tell me how to live but **who asked you anyway**?
Hey, just **whose life is this anyway**?
Cost so much more than a price
I ain't gonna **pay**
You only point out **fault**
An **anxiety attack**
You're a nay your mouth
You **stab me in my back**
You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go
I see you in the **shadows**
You think you know what's **best for me**
You hate everything you see in me
Have you looked in a **mirror**?
Hey, just **whose life is this anyway**?
You tell me how to live but **who asked you anyway**?
Hey, just **whose life is this anyway**?
Cost so much more than a price
I ain't gonna **pay**
Hey, just **whose life is this anyway**?
You tell me how to live but **who asked you anyway**?
Hey, just **whose life is this anyway**? (x3)
