Show Me How To Live.

I was on the way home from work a few minutes ago and I was listening to my usual radio station 106.5 (local modern rock station) and I heard a song that I'd not heard in some time. It was "Show Me How To Live" by AudioSlave. Its been one of my favorite songs in the past. Anyway, I was thinking over the lyrics today. Some of them are pretty religious. Some of them I totally relate to. I'm posting them below. I'd LOVE your thoughts....



In with the early dawn
Moving right along
Couldn’t buy an eye full of sleep
And in the aching night
Under satelites
I was not received
built with stolen parts
A telephone in my heart
Someone get me a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is this a cure or is this a disease

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

And in the afterbirth
On the quiet earth
Let the stains remind you
You thought you made a man
You better think again
Before my role defines you

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me a life
Now show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live

And in your waiting hands
I will land
And roll out of my skin
And in your final hours I will stand
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
Ready to begin

Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Nail in my hand
From my creator
You gave me life now
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
Show me how to live
