Since this is over YOuTube's limit for 1 video, I've split it into two parts, you'll hear the last few seconds of part 1 at the start of part 2, which I've responded to this part.

Holy crap. That makes sense. "The meaning of life is to give life meaning." Wow.

@95TurboSol holy shit youre really smart hahaha

Because it's made up in ones mind, not mind independent. Meaning in an objective sense presupposes intention, which is the property of a mind. If what exists is not untimately created and grounded by a mind in some way then objective meaning I think is impossibe. That doesn't mean someone couldn't deside to make the purpose of their life to bring honor to their family but it would be purely subjective in their mind not really the meaning of their existence in the objective sense.

@95TurboSol how is winning the super bowl and making millions an illusion? that can create a great life and a lot can be done with that money. it can even bring honor to your family, which is something worth living for, is it not? people used to want to die for honor, something that you dont see very much now days in America

89 is my favorite number they said 85

@95TurboSol I agree with your assessment, but I think that you are mincing terms. :P The meaning of the statement "The meaning of life is to give life meaning" is probably just a catchier, poetic equivalent to "life has no meaning but what one gives it, and is good or better once given meaning."

This song is AMAZING! Ayreon's f**king epic!

@YetiBrothers

Well I think they could, but it would just be a subjective illusion, not really the meaning of their life. Someone could have the meaning of their life to win the super bowl and retire a millionaire, but that would not really be the meaning of their existence, it's just a subjective illusion. We ultimately run into big questions of God and the reality of "reality" here. I wasn't trying to get into all of that though, I was just pointing out the self defeating proposition.
