Celebrating Nothing Lyrics

I think it's about that feeling when one doesn't know what to do with his or her life.

"Celebrating nothing" is like "I'm OK, even if I haven't decided my future". But then it comes that time when this person gets frustrated and begins to wonder "how many times will I blow it all?"

"Give me a reason to stay alive, I've got the feeling we gonna die" is like when a person doesn't see the point on what he or she's doing. One begins to feel tired of the routine and feels like getting depressed.

"I hide behind my eyes and lies and broken mirrors" is pretending that this person is fine with everything even if it isn't the case, and it gets clearer when the line "and every day I say this time around my vision's getting clearer". Or maybe this last line is like seeing what one really want for himself or herself, but the braveness to search for those dreams isn't enough.

My Interpretation

Wow you know this really affected me in a weird way, i really tuned into this song while working on a project at 4am for college, and the whole gig is making my life miserable, i'm not brave enough to quit and follow my dream ..
