Cover art for Big Bad World lyrics by Kodaline

In this song they contradict themselves frequently, it is used to represent life is uncertain, anything can happen. I think in all this is about a close friend or family member dying and how they are uncertain of why the world would do this to them. They are saying maybe there is no god because they think if there was they would have kept the person alive. They are trying to carry their friends dream and making their life worth while in memory of them because otherwise they feel like they have gone for nothing. They are referring to their friend when they say 'maybe die young' and themselves with 'live everyday like its your last day under the sun' They want to make the most of what they have left.
