Like toolej said; reflecting on your soon to be nonexistence certainly makes one feel alive.
"Just like I came into this world
All by myself I will leave it"
I interpret this to mean that events, people and attachments in life are meaningless, in that when you die, you alone make that journey, and take nothing with you. This also justifies that "holding onto your vice" isn't at all an ignorant thing to do, for in the end it's moot (since you die whether you do or don't; enjoy your misdoings/unhealthy habit/vice.). The holding on idea also sort of voids any belief of an afterlife, or expresses apathy to the possible consequences in any afterlife.
"And if this world wasn't built for me, there is no point at all"
I take this as reflection on the idea that man is not meant to spend an eternal existence in the world, and therefore it is not his home, 'not built for him'. There would be no point, then, to stay in it
This then:
"Twenty seven invincible years
Where do you go when nowhere feels like home?"
would express that, not feeling at home in the world, there is nowhere to go, no other alternative existence. I don't know if 27 holds any significance other than his age (or if it is his age at all).
"And I can’t sleep a wink so I’ll tell you when I get there"
With 'there' being 'home', I take this to mean that he can't be content/comfortable (can't sleep a wink) until he finds the home he seeks. I take "so I'll tell you when I get there" as semi-sarcastic, if this song is claiming man's true home to be death (it isn't exactly, it just points out that there is none, as far as I can see). Sarcastic because he wouldn't be able to 'tell you when he gets there'. I know the contradictory nature of this probably holds some kind of meaning, but I'm pretty tired.
I'll walk into the light, but the lights fading away" could mean that he tries to find faith, but it diminishes as he grows in knowledge (sort of like hitting that "questioning your religion" stage of life, which I hope every person does at some point). That's a pretty half-assed interpretation, though
