Lyrics meaning
The lyrics encourage people to express their feelings and engage with life instead of holding back or wasting time. They acknowledge that life can be cruel and difficult, but the repeated call to โlive it upโ shifts the mood toward energy, openness, and enjoyment. Reaching out to othersโespecially for loveโis presented as a worthwhile way to live.
โOpen up your heartโ suggests becoming emotionally honest and receptive, rather than literally opening anything. The phrase โlive it upโ means to enjoy life actively and wholeheartedly. โLet it show to the topโ is less clear, but it seems to urge feelings or excitement to rise and become visible, rather than stay hidden.
Some lines are awkward or unclear, so the songโs message should not be made more precise than the words allow. It may be encouraging boldness and emotional expression, not simply constant partying: the references to love, hardship, and showing emotion give the refrain a broader meaning. The repeated chorus makes this advice feel like a celebratory chant, while leaving open what โliving it upโ means for each listener.
