| I think it means that no matter what happens to him, no matter what obstacle or challenge is thrown at him in life he'll overcome it all the meanwhile staying true to who he really is inside. . . Excellent song | |

| i think its abuot living life on the edge, and hes losing control of life. it has a dark edge to it and the guitar suits the lyrics very well, theres also a sense of desperation in the chorus... brilliantly written song | |

| I think it's about transition. When we look at ourselves and can't recognize us anymore. We know we are better than this, so we don't stop now until we find a better part of us. We grow up. 1 | |

| To me, this song is about overcoming all the problems in life and learning from your mistakes- knowing that you can't keep running, you have to face up to reality. Another fantastic song from a fantastic band. Love 'em! | |

| Well, first off I can't believe no one's commented on the best song from Seventeen Days, which has become Brad's favorite 3DD song. I've heard Brad describe this song as the answer to all of the questions that "Away From the Sun" presented, which used to be his favorite 3DD song. For me this song really hits home with my current situation. I think it means that he was in a place where he didn't know where he was going (described in Away From the Sun) but that Brad's decided to look inward, find himself, ignore all the crap that other people say, and face his fears head on. It's a very powerful song... this song and "Behind Those Eyes" are my two favorites from Seventeen Days. | |

| To me, this song is about finding a meaning to live. It sounds like he feels he's just going through the motions and looking for a purpose. Although he's not fearing life, he doesn't feel alive. He doesn't know what to believe in. He doesn't want to conform to what everyone holds true and wants to stay true to himself, but doesn't exactly see a point. It's optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. | |

| i think this song is bout a guy who lives his life on the edge never really takes much caution and doesnt live in fear like oh if i do this this will happen or if i say that this one might fight with me etc.etc.its bout not caren and being free.and "KISS ME WHILE im still alive kill me while i kiss the sky"is kinda like kiss me while im still here and kill me while my dreams come true like kill my while i live my live my way doing what i want. | |
