Out there everything keeps raging on

Even if I wasn't here anymore today

People buy expensive things

Life is and stays unfair

We drink wine at my window

Buzzed, we watch the whole thing

And we both have to laugh again

Somehow we're part of it after all

That's your life, that's how you live

Why you love and laugh and don't understand yourself

Why you feel like a stranger again in a time that's so bright

Why you miss the one again who surely won't set you free

Yeah, that's your life; that's how you live

Why we sometimes fly; don't even know how it goes

And we keep getting up and start to walk

Yeah, that's your life and you'll never understand it

Your smile fits my window

New shine and old familiar

You say we never got lost

We just went astray now and then

And the thing will work out

If you don't get lost here

And with all the little chances

It's risked again and again

That's your life, that's how you live

Why you love and laugh and don't understand yourself

Why you feel like a stranger again in a time that's so bright

Why you miss the one again who surely won't set you free

Yeah, that's your life, that's how you live

Why we sometimes fly; don't even know how it goes

And we keep getting up and start to walk

Yeah, that's your life and you'll never understand it

Bridge

Maybe crazy big or just dreamed too small

Have I, amid all the other doubts

Simply missed my happy ending

Bridge

It doesn't matter who's still coming or already gone

It's okay that you're just the way you are

Because that's your life, that's how you live

Why you love and laugh and don't understand yourself

Why you feel like a stranger again in a time that's so bright

Why you miss the one again who surely won't set you free

Yeah, that's your life, that's how you live

Why we sometimes fly; don't even know how it goes

And we keep getting up and start to walk

Yeah, that's your life and you'll never understand it

SONG MEANING

Das Ist Dein Leben feels like a late-night heart-to-heart at the window while the city keeps buzzing below. As the wine flows, the singer notices how unfair and hectic the world can be, yet he and his friend can’t help laughing at it all—they still belong to the chaos outside. The lyrics list little paradoxes of everyday life: buying expensive things that don’t matter, getting lost without really losing each other, and craving someone who can’t actually set you free.

The chorus is a warm, melodic reminder that this is your life—confusing, bright, messy, and beautiful. You might not understand why you love, laugh, or feel like a stranger to yourself, and that’s perfectly fine. The song celebrates our ability to fly without knowing how, stumble, and then get back on our feet. Philipp Dittberner’s message is simple and uplifting: embrace your imperfections, take risks, and accept that you may never fully figure yourself out. After all, that mystery is exactly what makes life worth living.
