Fistful of Sand

[cirelo]

Up from the sands of the mighty Sahara comes,
Our hero bold, who so it's told,
is a lot like you and me.
His passion burns, the world it turns,
He fills his hand to fill the void,
And fuels the constant feeling,
Of nothingness inside his soul.

Feels like nothing ever did.
Kills like nothing ever could.
Dark and jaded world I hated,
Everything I left behind.
I

I must wonder is there an alternative meaning beyond the life and carnal riches are fleeting?

[idriveatruck]

You know Gordo if you make comments like that on crack you must be pretty impressive clean.

I thought the song was implying that life itself and not just wealth is fleeting and meaningless. It sounds like some is existential. You know where you believe that life is absurd, meaningless and tragic. Mostly atheist feel that way and they tend to be depressed if not suicidal but then again this kind of music is called emo.

I think it is sad to think that way. I think life has a purpose. Will you be a good person? Strong, wise, honorable? and whatever we do matters not only now but forever and not only to us but to all we touch even people not born yet. I hope Jonas you don't have "nothingness inside your soul".

Life is a challenge will dare to stand against this slow death of empty living? Will you live boldly?
