Meaning of Life Songtext

von Josh Doyle

We break out of school
Find a girl and we're gone
Blinded by dreams
We follow the throng
We work ourselves to death
Trying to find significance
Trying to fill the void
That haunts our existence
But don't let it show
We don't let 'em know

And all of my life I've been afraid of myself
Been putting on a mask for everyone else
Scared of the future, scared 'cause I know
I'm just a kid in grown-up clothes
The meaning of life is to find your way home

The kingdoms of man
Are paper thin and hollow
The sex is showbiz
And the love is shallow
And everyone tries to sell you
Everyone tries to buy you
They build you up
With the Hollywood dreams
That cannot satisfy you
And one day you will die
And they will not be beside you
No no no
No no no
No no no

But where do you go when nobody needs you
How do you keep sane
When you just want to scream
The older you get, the further you go
'Til your looking at someone you don't even know
The meaning of life is to find you way home

The kingdoms of man
Are paper thin and hollow
The sex is showbiz
And the love is shallow
And everyone tries to sell you
Everyone tries to buy you
They build you up
With the Hollywood dreams
That cannot satisfy you
And one day you will pass
And they will not be beside you
No no no
No no no
No no no

Well I've torn away everything that was pure
And I've followed a thousand false prophets and whores
And it taints my eye, all the darkness I've seen
Is there some way lord I can get clean
The meaning of life is to find you way home
The meaning of life is to find you way home
