I'll do it anyway
No matter my sorrows
Why stay here
I don't recognize myself
I wanna change suns
No, I can't wait anymore
And I don't wanna hear
That everything always works out
That everything just runs its course
I'm gonna change suns
Look around us
Nothing stands anymore
Since the world's gone crazy
Tell me what game we're playing
If this is life
If this is the life we love
Then what's life
If this is the life we lead
Look around us
Nothing stands anymore
If the world's worn out
To the point of going mad
If this is life
If this is the life we love
Then what's life
If this is the life we lead
What's the problem
What's chaining us
It's as if never
Anything was enough
What's grinding our gears
We run full speed
But where do our wounds go
What's this pain
That we know by heart
As if nothing
Could impress us anymore
As if we'd already done everything
Look around us
Nothing stands anymore
Since the world's gone crazy
Tell me what game we're playing
If this is life
If this is the life we love
Then what's life
If this is the life we lead
Look around us
Nothing stands anymore
If the world's worn out
To the point of going mad
If this is life
If this is the life we love
Then what's life
If this is the life we lead
We run full speed
But where do our wounds go
What's this pain
That we know by heart
As if nothing
Could impress us anymore
As if we'd seen it all and done it all
Look around us
Nothing stands anymore
Since the world's gone crazy
Tell me what game we're playing
If this is life
If this is the life we love
Then what's life
If this is the life we lead
Look around us
Nothing stands anymore
If the world's worn out
To the point of going mad
If this is life
If this is the life we love
Then what's life
If this is the life we lead

SONG MEANING

La Vie Qu'on Mène is Mentissa’s vibrant wake-up call to anyone who feels stuck on life’s treadmill. Staring at a world that seems to be collapsing under its own chaos, she refuses the comforting clichés of “everything sorts itself out”. Instead, she vows to change the sun, swap gloom for possibility and take action right now, pain or no pain. The song swings between frustration and fierce optimism, capturing that moment when you realise routine is choking your spirit and decide to chase a brighter horizon.

Listen closely and you will hear three big questions pulsing between the beats: • If this non-stop hustle is really life, why does it hurt so much? • What invisible chains keep us running in circles with the same old wounds? • How long before we dare to reinvent the rules?

Mentissa does not hand out tidy answers. She hands out a compass. By confronting the madness around us, acknowledging the ache we carry and choosing to “change our sun”, the Belgian singer invites every listener to craft a life that actually feels alive.
