Killswitch Engage – Life to Lifeless Lyrics 17 years ago
Isn't it interesting how one's preconceptions can influence their thinking? According to an above comment Jesse saw his lyrics as saying that evetually you will reach an eternity after this life.

I see it as: you're going to die . . . so who gives a fuck what you do.

Killswitch Engage – Desperate Times Lyrics 17 years ago
The way I read it:

The song is (obviously) about someone going through a "desperate time." It could be the cynic in me, but I see the chorus representing the speaker as saying that if all else fails, I will kill myself, and please remember me.

I don't really see a religious connection at all. I see the religious imagery, but I think it is more or less used to exaggerate the suffering of the speaker, not as a literal connection.

Just my take.
