Lost in Translation: Episode 3: “It’s My Life”…But It’s Actually about Pizza

Eurovision thrives on drama, metaphor, and poetic lyrics but what if we took them WAY too seriously? In this series, we’re hilariously misinterpreting iconic Eurovision hits, twisting their messages into completely misguided scenarios.

Today’s victim? Cezar’s It’s My Life(2013, Romania). Originally a dramatic operatic declaration of independence, we’re flipping it into something far more relatable; a person *fiercely* protecting their last slice of pizza. Because sometimes, personal freedom is about **not sharing your food**.

It’s My Life—But It’s Actually About Pizza

The soaring falsetto, the intensity, the dramatic insistence … Cezar clearly wasn’t singing about love or destiny. This song is the inner monologue of someone refusing to share their last slice.

“It’s my life and I know it’s not forever.”

The pizza won’t last forever. You know this. Every bite brings you closer to the inevitable end. But before you can enjoy it, someone at the table casually says , “Oh, that looks good, can I have a slice?”.

“Love is so deep, and it makes my life complete.”

Yes, deep like the satisfaction of biting into a perfectly pizza slice. Complete, until someone reaches over with their dirty fingers, threatening to ruin everything.

“I’ll find my story and fight for my glory of love.”

Translation: “I will fight for my right to eat in peace.”* You didn’t come here to share. You came here to **win** the battle against food thieves.

“It’s my life, we were meant to be together.”

You and this pizza were meant to be together. Not you, the pizza, and your overly curious friend who suddenly wants a taste.

[High-pitched operatic wailing]

Because sometimes, you just *need* to make a point.

This isn’t just a song. It’s an anthem for anyone who has suffered the betrayal of someone stealing food from their food.
