'Loin de toi' can also mean being far from one's purpose and understanding the meaning of one's existence.

lyrics

VERSE I
I can’t believe I’m growing older, even though I feel so young
The road to wisdom is unpaved, and that’s part of the fun
Do I make the right call on a daily, or…
Does it matter if I give it any thought, oh
Is this all there is, or do I serve a higher purpose

CHORUS
You only get one shot, you only get one life,
How come? Who decided?
You see what you want to believe
Everybody’s got one, everybody dreams
You have so much to give but you just receive

VERSE II
Ouh, there’s a force, something stronger lies in the gift of life
I know that I hold the key, I know I am energy but I

This is my life and I live it well
What if this is just another parallel
I’m not looking for the truth anymore
Because I know that’s not what we’re living for

CHORUS

VERSE III
Is there an added value, to being in the know
They say the cost of ignorance is immeasurable
Being in the dark takes us out of the equation
Balance is what’s missing to inspire motivation
All I know is I only know my truth, yeah
That what works for me doesn’t have to work for you

CHORUS x2
(How come baby
You have so much to give but you just receive, yeah
What’s my purpose
Who decided, yeah
How come)

You have so much to give but you just...
