Discover the story of the song > C’est la Vie – Protest the Hero

The protagonist tried to find different ways to make a big impact on the world, even if it meant sacrificing his life. He jumped off a chair, building, bridge and platform, each time hoping to make a splash or leave a mark. However, his actions only resulted in his own death and some minor inconveniences, showing that sometimes the price of being in control of your own fate can be too high. The lyrics also mention other things that can bring about the end of life, such as disease and natural disasters, and encourage people to enjoy life while they still can.
