Cover art for Eating Me Away lyrics by Skillet

This person seems to think that he is nothing and is not sure what his purpose is in life. All he knows is that he "needs a reason to breath" and is worried that when he is gone is this going to be his "legacy" are people going to remember him for doing nothing. Basically he hates this nothingness and looks at life knowing that to the world he is insignificant compared to the millions of people and the size of the universe and he want someone, God to save him from this nothingness. Well thats my take on it anyway
