I'll do it anyway
No matter my pain
Why stay here
I don't recognize myself
I wanna change suns
No, I can't wait anymore
And I don't wanna hear again
That things always work out
That everything just follows its course
I'm gonna change suns
Look around us
Nothing's standing anymore
Since the world's gone mad
Tell me what game we're playing
If this is life
If this is the life we love
What's life
If this is the life we lead
Look around us
Nothing's standing anymore
If the world's worn out
'Til we end up crazy
If this is life
If this is the life we love
What's life
If this is the life we lead
What's the problem
What chains us up
It's like it never
Was enough
What stalls our engine
We run at full speed
But where do our wounds go
What's this ache
We know by heart
As if nothing
Could impress us anymore
Like we'd already done everything
Look around us
Nothing's standing anymore
Since the world's gone mad
Tell me what game we're playing
If this is life
If this is the life we love
What's life
If this is the life we lead
Look around us
Nothing's standing anymore
If the world's worn out
'Til we end up crazy
If this is life
If this is the life we love
What's life
If this is the life we lead
We run at full speed
But where do our wounds go
What's this ache
We know by heart
As if nothing
Could impress us anymore
Like we'd already seen it all, done it all
Look around us
Nothing's standing anymore
Since the world's gone mad
Tell me what game we're playing
If this is life
If this is the life we love
What's life
If this is the life we lead
Look around us
Nothing's standing anymore
If the world's worn out
'Til we end up crazy
If this is life
If this is the life we love
What's life
If this is the life we lead

SONG MEANING

La Vie Qu'on Aime is Mentissa’s sonic pep-talk for anyone who feels trapped under the wrong sky. Staring at a world that “no longer stands” and seems to have gone mad, the Belgian artist refuses to sit still. She sings about aching hearts, endless waiting rooms, and platitudes like “everything will sort itself out,” then flips the script: I’ll do it anyway, I’m changing my sun. Her voice turns restlessness into rocket fuel, urging us to chase brighter horizons even when doubts and pains tag along.

The chorus fires off a carousel of questions: If this is the life we love, what kind of life are we really living? Why do we sprint forward while our wounds trail behind? With each repetition, the hook transforms worry into wake-up call. The song becomes both a critique of modern burnout and a hopeful invitation to reinvent ourselves before the chaos swallows us. Energetic pop production meets existential reflection, making it perfect for singing at the top of your lungs while secretly planning your next big leap.
