Another Way
Gigi D'Agostino
Embracing Change and Seeking Freedom in 'Another Way'
Gigi D'Agostino's 'Another Way' is a song that encapsulates the desire for change and the pursuit of a different, perhaps more fulfilling, lifestyle. The repetitive chorus, 'Living in another way,' suggests a yearning to break free from the current state of affairs and to experience life from a new perspective. The lyrics 'To live it up just another day' imply that the protagonist wants to make the most out of every day, not just to exist but to truly live with enthusiasm and joy.
The song also touches on themes of unrequited love or a relationship that has gone sour, as indicated by the lines 'I'll never do it 'cos you treat me wrong' and 'You'll never do it, come and sing my song.' These lyrics suggest a disconnect between the speaker and another person, possibly a lover, where there is a lack of mutual understanding or respect. The speaker seems to be declaring their independence from this negative dynamic, choosing instead to live life in their own way.
The emotional intensity of the song is heightened by the lines 'I want to touch your body' and 'I'll fly with you, I'd die for you,' which express a deep longing and a willingness to do anything for the object of their affection. Despite the troubled relationship, there is still a strong emotional connection. The song's upbeat tempo and danceable rhythm, characteristic of Gigi D'Agostino's Eurodance style, contrast with the more serious undertones of the lyrics, creating a dynamic interplay between the desire for joy and the reality of emotional struggle.
