Offspring, The - The Meaning Of Life Lyrics






On the way
Trying to get where I'd like to say
I'm always feeling steered away
By someone trying to tell me
What to say and do
I don't want it
I gotta go find my own way
I gotta go make my own mistakes
Sorry man for feeling
Feeling the way I do
On yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in
Their meaning of life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I'd rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There's no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don't feel like
Living the way you do

  7. T.... e....

    I cant get over how so many of offsprings songs relate to so many things that i have experienced in my life. Its like the songs were ment for me. But really they weren't. Its really crazy but so many of the songs do.

  8. C.... M....

    I miss Dexter's weird hair.

  9. J.... K....

    Its so amazing in every thread

  10. �.... ....

    もういややぁ〜♪もういややぁ〜♪

  12. K.... R....

    Tekken.

  13. F.... M....

    These lyrics should be studied in classrooms.

  14. D.... B....

    This sounds like "Generator" by Bad Religion. Also, the face mask reminds me of "American Jesus".

  15. R.... C....

    Growing up I had parents that hated my method of everything no matter what it was... it was never good enough or right enough unless it was their way of doing it, no matter how small or pointless the task. The Offspring were my angst outlet from 13 until I got out of the house and I really want a portrait tattoo of Dexter with "open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life". Dexter has been one of my idols for going on 10 years. LOVE The Offspring.

  16. S.... ....

    Awesome video and song

  17. B.... A....

    Hey look! Mad Max: Fury Retirement Home!

  20. R.... N....

    I feel like the whole point of this song is “The world doesn’t work your way,”

  21. S.... D....

    Punk, not the pop punk of today

  22. D.... S....

    I imagine this is what Professor Xavier does in his spare time.

    The offspring dope man ..

  26. p.... ....

    I've known this song for at least 10 years now and never would have imagined the music video to be this wild lol.

  27. a.... k....

    Jesús es lento porque el no se las dá. Vive 100 años y se va al cielo. Aunque igual fue rápido en lo suyo: 3 años + 30 comunes.

  28. a.... k....

    Y cada dia mas indispensable ser asi, ES COMO UNA RUEDA MINIMO, PERO EN REALIDAD ES COMO UNA AVALANCHA, 'Makina' se le puede decir tambien.

  29. a.... k....

    Maravillosa cancion para ejemplo en la vida, porque asi hay que ser. Asi que al final se reveló la historia del Area 51 (el 2013 y 2017). La historia mas creible antes era la de Bob Lazar.

  30. J.... V....

    Because of tekken anime

  31. D.... J....

    Your best song for me. Impatient to see you on August 3th in Barcelona!

  41. T.... G....

    Як же це круто! Ааааа!

  42. K.... B....

    Underrated gem of the 90s. Possibly one of The Offspring’s best tracks! And that’s saying a lot because they’ve made so many great songs!!!

    K.... B....

    This and all I want are the top and that's just for today cuz depending on the mood any number of their songs can top the list for me.

  43. D.... p....

    2019 and The offspring is still helping show me the meaning of life

  48. J.... S....

    Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

  49. p.... ....

    they don't stop to amaze me. respect Offspring!!!!

  50. B.... W....

    this song has a lot of meanings for me.
    Religion: You can't tell me how to live my life with god. He does HIm, I do me. As he intended so excuse me if it bothers you.

    Life: Nothing in life is easy, you can't tell me what I want to do with my life because its not yours. Things work differently from person to person, Yeah give me advice, but don't be mad if I do it my way.

    Being Disabled: Its not over because it looks like it from other people's perspectives in how life can be for them if they were in a state where they are limited. All because THEY think you are done doesn't mean YOU should feel that way too.

    Push away those who try to control your life through their experiences. Nothing is absolute. Nothing is limited long as you believe in yourself.
    Swallow your pride at least you did something new

  51. �.... �....

    やっぱ
    かっけぇよ

    �.... ....

    元吉猿 いつ聴いても最高だよ!コメント6日前でびっくりしました!

  71. E.... ....

    I feel like this song suits me well, due to it being fast-paced and aggressive. But mostly because I'm at times told how to act, what to do, and what to like. But another way I interpreted it is that people should live the way they want as long as no harm is being done.

    The Offspring as a whole have taught me to flip the finger to those kind of people. Seriously, I've gotta thank these guys if I ever get the chance to meet them!

  72. G.... S....

    this song is a GEM 💎

    Anarchy, anarchy, anarchy, anarchy
    Anarchy, anarchy, anarchy

    Stop all people, all boundaries
    And the military tombs
    Pornobusiness, drug addicts
    And the rat cellars

    Anarchy, anarchy, anarchy, anarchy
    Anarchy, anarchy, anarchy

    Stop all people, all boundaries
    And the military tombs
    Pornobusiness, drug addicts
    And the rat cellars
