Okay, I'm going through something that this song fits perfectly.
But, i think I'm getting a different feeling from it than the previous posts. It seems almost satirical, in my opinion. "This is my life" is very obviously sayingjust what it says. But the whole idea of not needing anyone but yourself.. We are social creatures by nature, we do need other people, whether we believe it all of the time or not.
It is a song about a friend, a very good friend. Sometimes, friends know you better than anyone and you don't want to hear what they say when they tell you that youare wrong. I think he's trying to remind us of that. We may not want to hear it, and we may be angry. But we have to get past thinking that or else we'll be singing songs like this for the rest of our lives.
@sirrahsara This is the only post that I think actually fits with the lyrics. Perhaps it's not the original intention of the song though, Billy Joel wrote a lot of self-righteous songs that fit the same mold ("Don't get me wrong / I still belong"). I just can't help but feel the chorus is in response to a friend badgering you with a truth you don't want to acknowledge.

@sirrahsara i agree with bot of Your rhoughts. Right you are and sometimes we are too prideful to admit when we've made a mistake. We don't want to believe that someone knew better than we did because then we have to Humble ourselves admit we are wrong. We have prideful hearts that cost us much..At the time we don't realize the price of what we lost because we often don't recognize what we had all along. We find out we wanted wasn't what we th thought and realized it wasn't what we needed ( now that ya find...

We find out we wanted wasn't what we th thought and realized it wasn't what we needed ( now that ya find out to late) thereby in the end not getting what we truly wanted afterall. Can we even humble ourselves and admit to being wrong about that!?
