This is a bad copy of a French song. It is so crappily self congratulatory, makes be want to puke.

Is it especially self-congratulatory?

It's someone looking back at his life, who was sad about the failures, but is now at the end of his life and is proud that he made his own choices, took his own path, and endured the blows that life deals you.

He did life his own way, was unique in certain ways in an uncaring world. An existentialist anthem. A bit sad. A bit happy. A song about life.

To be fair it’s much better than the schmaltzy original in French (and I’m French).
