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)
