Three Days Grace - So Called Life Lyrics

Three Days Grace Lyrics

"So Called Life"

Can't laugh, can't cry, can't live, can't die
Can't do anything anymore, no
Can't love, can't breathe, can't talk, can't sleep
But I can't seem to stay awake anymore, oh

What a time to be alive
Such a waste of fucking time

Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so-called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so-called life

Feels like I wanna jump
Wanna scream, wanna run
Wanna fucking put a chainsaw through the wall, yeah
Feels like I'm living in a world where everybody's all for none
And none for all, yeah

What a time to be alive
Such a waste of fucking time

Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so-called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so-called life

What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
Such a waste of fucking time

Feels like I wanna jump
Wanna scream, wanna run
Wanna fucking put a chainsaw through the wall

Oh, gimme something
Oh, gimme something

Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so-called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so-called life

"So Called Life" is the first single from Three Days Grace's seventh studio album, "Explosions". The song was premiered on November 29, 2021, accompanied by a music video directed by Jon Vulpine who explained, "I wanted to make this video really raw and stripped down. Something high energy with extreme angles and fast movements. A bunch of old analog gear in this '70s apartment that looked like some hoarder died in it 20 years ago and the guys just came in and recorded. I didn't want to go for a clean and super polished look, so Justin Jones, my DP, suggested these rehoused 1960s Japanese lenses for a grittier more contrasty feel. That, along with different lens distortions and attachments, just added to the diversity of shots."

Three Days Grace singer Matt Walst said about this track's meaning, "In these crazy and divided times, everyone needs something to take the edge off." Bassist Brad Walst added, "It's a little different. It's a pretty heavy song and definitely full of emotions and frustrations of everyday life. It was actually the first song we wrote on this record, going back almost pre-pandemic."
