Rocket Ride Lyrics
I sought salvation but I found insanity
Lost in a mess I returned to profanity
I've been reaching for the sky
But I got stuck with my feet down in concrete
Don't you run away now -- Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - WOAH
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle - Take a Rocket Ride
Suffering my way with divine aspiration
I failed to resist the sweetest temptation
Been stuck to religion till I've clung to the pie
You never really miss it until you really try
Tried to jump but held down by concrete
The venery surrounding my feet
Don't you run away now -- Don't you be afraid
You know there is a meaning - WOAH
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle - Take a Rocket Ride
Oh I've tried to reach higher
On and on but my flesh is too weak
Been searching for answers - I've been led to the fire
There must be a reason for us to be down here
Oh I'm drifting -- Temptation
Carried out to sea -- I'm drifting away
I've been reaching for the sky
But I got stuck with my feet down in concrete
*CHORUS MULTIPLE TIMES*
Lost in a mess I returned to profanity
But I got stuck with my feet down in concrete
You know there is a meaning - WOAH
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle - Take a Rocket Ride
I failed to resist the sweetest temptation
Been stuck to religion till I've clung to the pie
You never really miss it until you really try
The venery surrounding my feet
You know there is a meaning - WOAH
Don't you run away now - Don't you live a lie
There's more to life than struggle - Take a Rocket Ride
On and on but my flesh is too weak
Been searching for answers - I've been led to the fire
There must be a reason for us to be down here
Oh I'm drifting -- Temptation
Carried out to sea -- I'm drifting away
But I got stuck with my feet down in concrete

This song appears to have double-meaning. The song itself seems to be about a man who is trying to change his ways, but finding that it is extrememly hard and that he simply can't do it, and his 'feet are stuck in concrete'. The chorus, however, seems to tell you not to let the pressures of life overcome enjoying it. 'There's more to life than struggle, take a Rocket Ride', this is using a highly fantastical example to show that life has fun things to do rather than just the angsty crap that people are obligated into doing.
huuuum... awesome interpretation, very poetic and not superficial :D

I like your explanation but i disagree a bit. This sounds to me more like it is about someone searching for the meaning of life.
"there must be a reason for us to be down here" is one line among others which reveal this idea.
