everyone treat's life like a project . they think they are the main character in their own little world & spend most of their lives doing things to better themselves & earn a living .

then they die & they dont even realize they've wasted their entire life .

this is the real world, it happens

but what else could one do ?

I hate how everyone tries to decipher the lyrics and sound smart. The musical aspects of the song are lost. I haven't seen a single comment about the melody or the voice of the singer. Often times the artist doesn't mean anything by the lyrics (Not that this is Daniel's case) and the listeners put way too much thought into the meaning.

If you enjoyed life, was it really wasted?

[Rebeka Newbold]

It's good right.

[soulstashone]

what u talking about... if they diddnt realize they wasted their lives then they probably didnt... thats what matters not pretentious judgements by some kid... well maybe you do have it all figured out and we are all just wasting our lives my bad dude

[Jed Ford]

I'm ready.

I think the reason some of us feel like music is depressing is because it's such a beautiful contrast to the large portion of life which is bleak and destructive. We don't want this beauty to be destroyed along with it.
