Gone

So I don't wanna be an asshole to anyone who picks up Christian vibes from this, and for all I know, that might be exactly what they're saying. I also have no clue what the singer/songwriters own affiliations are.

Regardless, the song is quite awesome. As far as I'm concerned, it means exactly what everyone says. Seize the day.

As someone said, regardless of religion, this means the same to everyone. While certain lines could be interpreted as Christian, we'll all agree the fundamental concept of God for the writers and singers was all Christian. So references made towards a God might be read as Christian, but is in-fact, a generic one. Their saying 'God whose never short of cash' means a rewarding authority (either God, or your conscience, and the latter for me).

Cash doesn't mean money obviously, but the reward of life and living.

"Like Frank Sinatra Like Elvis and his mom Like Al Pacino's cash, nothing lasts in this life "

These lines are very real. Partly because of the celebrity angle. Everything else is stuff I read on FB posts. These 3 lines show me that characters or people I thought were invincible, or immortal, are also, in fact, all Gone. :) This grounds me a little. Brings a little perspective to NOT aim for those successes or that life, because we're all gonna end up the same way.

"My high school dreams are gone My childhood sweets are gone "

Again, very real. Because you know it's true. But not everyone thinks of them that way. They're Gone. Poof! You don't know when or how, and it isn't important. Realise and understand that they're gone.

Anyhow, Gone refers to death. It's coming and it's gonna happen. Realise this. And live your life like it's happening right now.
