Cheat Codes – On My Life

the four chord progression seems mainstream, but the idea of the song seems more nuanced with references to “light of my life”, either religious or personally motivated — perhaps even the childhood of the person. In addition, the strange references seem to characterize the main character well. There is the line “all those days and nights in the basement”, as well as quirky lines like “stressing over pretty girls and lunch money”, followed by “nothing much changed, only my change”. Overall, the song is not too shabby. (B-)
