Looking For A Meaning

There's thunder in the distance

Breaks the silence of the night

And I feel the sting of wind 

Trying to knock me out of my fight

Too many people spit in my face

For me not to know I'm dirt

I've washed a thousand times

But there's still blood on my shirt

But now i'm just fed up

With the games that people play

With so little life to live

Why can't they just mean what they say?

And it's never made much sense

For me to have a hope

But when everything falls down

It's the only way I know to cope

Born to live, live to die

Waste what's in between

Until we realize how we lost

Our chances to find meaning

I refuse to fade away

And be just another number

And I'll try to live a life worth living

Before I end up going under

I'll never be a hero

Just a  burnt-out plastic shell

But at least I kept on living

When heaven turned to  hell

And you were always stronger

Or at least could fake it good

Yeah that's why I love you

You always understood

Born to live, live to die

Waste what's in between

Until we realize how we lost

Our chances to find meaning

I refuse to fade away

And be just another number

And I'll try to live a life worth living

Before I end up going under

I have no delusions

I know I'm gonna die

But I think we're just insane enough

To try to enjoy the ride

The storm is getting closer

But it will pass before the dawn

Soon enough we'll get our chance

To live without being stepped on

I don't know what's waiting for us

Out there on the other side

But I know it's gotta be better

And we won't have to hide

Meanings in life can be mixed in to many other things, so much that you can't find it anymore. Some people can't find it again until their very last moment still breathing. A very sad piece in the beginning but then lightens up some at the end. A great way to release the reader. Good job :)

So, this gave me chills. That's not lame, is it? :P I especially like these lines: "Born to live, live to die - Waste what's in between - Until we realize how we lost - Our chances to find meaning". It has a powerful message. It was enjoyable to read. Nice work.
