Cover art for World Upon Your Shoulders lyrics by Silverchair

In the beginning i believe daniel is sending the message that no matter what you do you can't always depend on certain others/things to get by in life. There are things that you can't get around, no back doors. Later i think he's just saying taht when things aren't so bad in life just go for it and do what makes you happy and dont' hold back. "half full galsses lost in empty houses" ...even postive mindset people are lost. something like that. whats big and violent? the world perhaps? help me out guys..
