This Is Your Life Lyrics

Its another November evening
As you remember your way home
You (beat?) out your aggressive tendencies
On whats left of your blackened soul.
You've come to this conclusion
As your dragged from another bloody fight
You've reached the edge where you decided
That you've lived out your whole life.

Another busted knuckle,
taken down by a kick to the balls
You've wasted time, wasted time
As our shadows grown so tall

Its another busted knuckle
Its a fight you'll never win
And now you bow your head in shame
For a sin no one forgives

[Chorus]
Fight fight you'll never win
(this is our life)
Tonight ill start again
(this is our time)
Fight fight you'll never win
(this is our life)
How will I make amends
(this is our time)
This is our life
This is our time
This is my life
Dont waste my time.

Your wife cant understand you
When you have alienated your oldest friends
Breaking back, and fingers to the bone
burning candles at your back door your
Tired of this petty life you lead
A series of dull events
A two bit half-assed attempt
Of someone else's (trend?)

Another busted knuckle,
taken down by a kick to the balls
You've wasted time, wasted time
As our shadows grown so tall

Its another busted knuckle
Its a fight you'll never win
And now you bow your head in shame
For a sin no one forgives

[Chorus X2]

and the meaning off there

When you're young you think you are invincible and you know everything. Then sometime usually during your late 20's you wake up in a sweat in the middle of the night and realize you're an asshole!

Yeah... you realize that your life isn't as great as you thought. Now you can pick yourself up and dust yourself off, or just sit here and be nothing. That's what this song says to me...

A punch in the face (kick to the balls) to Dropkick fans who think Al is pro violence.

Lyrics are hella fucked up. Oh well.

I believe it's about suicide personally. "The sin no one forgives" is a giveaway. So is "You've reached the point where you've decided that you've lived out your whole life".

But that's just me

It seems to me to be about a refusal to grow up.
