Something to Live For Lyrics
Told to follow
hard to swallow
don't you know that they're wasting your time?
but they need you
and besiege you
to support they're bastion of crime
(chorus)
...
the darkness is falling
...
can we wake up in time?
...
we can't lose the battle
losing today keeps the good times away
...
give me something to live for
...
we're finding a way
...
out of the shadows
you've got to show me that we can live for today
never listen
don't ask questions
don't expect them to tell you the truth
they'll decieve you
and beseech you
with the lies they disguise just for you
(chorus)
fall in sorrow
for tomorrow
days of pain that are waiting for you
time is bleeding
keeps repeating
my lifetime to find out the truth
(chorus)
hard to swallow
don't you know that they're wasting your time?
but they need you
and besiege you
to support they're bastion of crime
...
the darkness is falling
...
can we wake up in time?
...
we can't lose the battle
losing today keeps the good times away
...
give me something to live for
...
we're finding a way
...
out of the shadows
you've got to show me that we can live for today
don't ask questions
don't expect them to tell you the truth
they'll decieve you
and beseech you
with the lies they disguise just for you
for tomorrow
days of pain that are waiting for you
time is bleeding
keeps repeating
my lifetime to find out the truth

This song is my anthem.
I think it's about soldiers.

It could also be about society that tells you to follow and you don't really have a choice...
You could be correct about that... I can see this fitting the image of a soldier.
However, I personally feel this song can represent a multitude of things. Nothing in particular, but generally speaking, but that line... Give me something to live for, its something that everyone thinks.
I think it's about realizing how fucked up everything in the world is, and you're wondering "is life really worth living through all this shit?"
The song could also relate to the government ("don't you know that their wasting your time", "don't expect them to tell you the truth") or even organized religion, due to Reason to Believe's religious undertone
