Confined Lyrics
that night i never came home
wandering souls captured my thoughts
emptiness filled my mind
urgency spoke her lies
in the confines of these grey walls
i watched them move together
taking me places i cannot remember
we have been poured out
into a loveless bride
how quickly i forget
that this is meaningless
in a world passing through my fingers
i still chase the wind
what have i learned from yesterday

Its about- How we need to do things we like, not things we need to...
Living every day the same is meaningless
Thi song might be about the fact that we live a meaningless life. Everything makes sense to us but "urgency spoke her lies", so if we take the time to think about it, everything we do is meaningless and senseless.
Yeah, i agree with Ollo AILD...I think its just a realiztation that everything we do just allows life to pass by. We just watch it and dont understand or live it to the fullest possibly?
i think you guys are mostly right except i think it means most people lives are meaningless and that they forget this from time to time that they have to get back on track to there meaningful life
i dont know. all these ideas may not corralate. i just thought that last part meant, like i a world passing through my fingers i still chase the wind. i thought the wind is the unseen aka GOD. i this world i passing through our finger, kinda like the song undifined on frail words collapse. christians seem to somtimes forget that this (this world) is meaningless so they try to prepare treasure on earth rather than preparing treasures in heaven. another thang, when tit says poured out into a loveless bride. we spoke about this i church at one time. but i cant remember. the phrase is used i the B-I-B-L-E. a number of times. so yeah. jesus christ is lord, yo!!!
song is obviously about not falling for the unecessary needs from earth, mankind, etc... u can see when it says "in a world that is passing through my fingers, i still chase the wind.." its kind of showing how u have to look past the people who say that believing and following christianity is a waste of time, kind of like chasing the wind, u cant catch it so its meaningless..
@There_is_no_fayt out of the question. I think the meaning despite the writer's religious views is open for interpretation. "chasing the wind" it's a reference for holding on to a weak/unreachable goal or purpose in life. and life it self is fleeting . wind is a good intangible reference.

"The night I never came home wandering souls captured my thoughts. Emptiness filled my mind..." Starting there I think that this means ultimately feeling depressed; Feeling thoughts of lonliness and anger at yourself. "Urgency spoke her lies in the confines of these grey walls." Our elusive 'Her' is a generalization of anything that makes us believe the lie that we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel worse. "I watched them move together; Taking me places I cannot remember." 'Them' in this case is the walls; So a sense of dizziness is created, probably from the empty feeling left inside from 'her' lies that 'she' keeps telling him. "We have been poured out into a loveless bride." Our 'bride' (This I am skeptic on a bit, and am open for correction.) I think this is in the definition of us living with and in the world. Treating it as a 'bride' after consumation. Which, the world has no love, it is an existence for our sociality. Which lead to the next lines..."How quickly I forget that this is meaning less. In a world passing through my fingers, I still chase the wind." These lines bouce off eachother in a parallelism; Living in a 'loveless bride' is meaningless and chasing after the hope of finding love in the world is meaningless. "What have I learned from yesterday?" Self-explanitory...Asking yourself what you've learned. Trying to learn that love does not come easy, and all love must be nurtured.
God Bless-
since we question from the bible, the "wind" we chase and living a meaningless life on Earth, comes from the entire book of Ecclesiastes: the whole book talk about how living without God is meaningless. and chasing the wind is meaningless. incredible book, the entire book is awesome, heck the entire Bible is awesome
