My Direction Lyrics

Perfection is my direction
Even if that's all I had
It's not like I need no correction
I just know that life's not so bad
Picture this, everyday
Kids that just can't find their way
Stuck is disarry
Can't find hope for better days
It's the degeneration
Of childhood frustration
In the last 30 years teenage suicide has increased %300 in North America
It's the second major cause of death in Canada
Perfection is my direction
Even if that's all I had
It's not like I need no correction
I just know that life's not so bad
When will my problems disappear
Am I just going crazy from the fear
Oh my, oh my I'm going far past the brink
This pressure's like a weight but I still can't think straight
Perfection is my direction
Even if that's all I had
It's not like I need no correction
I just know that life's not so bad
I've met my destinations
What's life to complain about
With all these aggravations
Building till the seams fall out
I'm running my mouth dry
With every time I lie
Don't tell me with out a doubt this dumbfound luck has all run out
Don't tell me with out a doubt this dumbfound luck has all run out
Perfection is my direction
Even if that's all I had
It's not like I need no correction
I just know that life's not so bad

I love this song.

It's not like I need no correction I just know that life's not so bad

Because they're saying that even though they're trying to be perfect, they aren't yet and they do need to do some things better. And it's true

Life's not so bad

Great song, in my opinion.

After all, life is not so bad, even though you aren't [and won't ever be] perfect.

anybody notice the similarity to this song and "Let Me Go" by Rancid? similar lyrics in the chorus at least...

Well, if there is any similarity, and I don't want to say whether I think there is or not, I would assume it's the logical conclusion for a band that probably grew up listening to bands like Rancid and a strong influence on their music itself. They are essentially the modern mainstream (pun definitely intended) Descendants of the same punk culture as Rancid.
