Destined for Nothing Lyrics

Who do you believe can put some meaning in your life
Meaning in your life
Meaning in your life
Who do you conceive to provide you guidance and light
Guidance and light
Guidance and light
Are they waiting for you in the by and by
Do you even have to try

Headed for eternity and destined for nothing
The future isn't difficult to see
It's easy to confuse grand design with life's repercussions
Lament not your vanquished fantasy
It's only destiny

Why do you consent to live in ignorance and fear
Ignorance and fear
Ignorance and fear
Ancient people succumbed to it can it happen here
Can it happen here
Can it happen here
Does it make you suffer 'cause you have to die
Is it best to live a lie

Headed for eternity and destined for nothing
The future isn't difficult to see
It's easy to confuse grand design with life's repercussions
Lament not your vanquished fantasy
It's only destiny

Why can't you see
There ain't no destiny
For you and me
There ain't no destiny
Why can't you see
There ain't no destiny
For you and me
There ain't no destiny

Headed for eternity and destined for nothing
The future isn't difficult to see
It's easy to confuse grand design with life's repercussions
Lament not your vanquished fantasy
It's only destiny

Another song about religion, but not only Judeo-Christian faith. It basically means that you can't spend your whole life searching for "eternity" and "Grand Design", or else your existence won't be significant. Best lines - "Does it make you suffer cuz you have to die Is it best to live a lie " Many Christians deliberately sacrifice the meaning in their lives because they would rather live a lie then think that their lives are ever going to end.

Not bad for a Darwinist atheist. This guy hits the gullible with big words and selfish motives. As they say if you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshit.

Short and sweet. No matter what you do in life, after you die, you will end up like everyone else who's died - just a corpse feeding the worms.

I love the subtle double meaning of the phrase: "Lament not your vanquished fantasy It's only destiny"

It's as if it is simultaneously saying that it was inevitable that you would learn that you do not have a destiny and that it is not such a big deal to be without one.

Are people who end up living "numb" who never search for th real meaning in anything, no I take that back, who end up never standing up and having your own opinion, never being mentally successful in life. Never making a mark on the earth
