Lyric discussion by There_is_no_fayt 

Cover art for Confined lyrics by As I Lay Dying

song is obviously about not falling for the unecessary needs from earth, mankind, etc... u can see when it says "in a world that is passing through my fingers, i still chase the wind.." its kind of showing how u have to look past the people who say that believing and following christianity is a waste of time, kind of like chasing the wind, u cant catch it so its meaningless..

@There_is_no_fayt out of the question. I think the meaning despite the writer's religious views is open for interpretation. "chasing the wind" it's a reference for holding on to a weak/unreachable goal or purpose in life. and life it self is fleeting . wind is a good intangible reference.
