[V1:]
It's days like this I wish that I, wish that I had stayed asleep
It's times like these that make it so difficult to be
The light at the end, the crack in the sky
there's no promise for release
No way for me to get away
And all I'm trying to do is breath
[Chorus:]
Searching...for something more
Searching...for something right
Searching...for a sense of clarity
Searching...for a place to die!
[V2:]
Days like this I really wish, I really wish I wasn't me
It's times like this that make it hard, makes it hard to fuckin' see
No light at the end, no crack in the sky
everyone ends up deceased
A life like mine makes a man, turns a grown man to a flea [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/five_finger_death_punch/a_place_to_die.html ]
[Chorus:]
Searching...for something more
Searching...for something right
Searching...for a sense of clarity
Searching...for a place to die!
[Pre-verse:]
Piece by piece, I slowly fade away,
I slowly drift apart
I see a different world, closing in on the future
Sorry to be so cynical but it's all I know
Piece by piece, I slowly start to change
I slowly start to change!
[V3:]
It's days like this I wish that I, wish that I had stayed asleep
It's times like these that make it so difficult to be
No light at the end, no crack in the sky
everyone ends up deceased
A life like mine makes a man, turns a grown man to a flea
[Chorus:]
Searching...for something more
Searching...for something right
Searching...for a sense of clarity
Searching...for a place to die!
I'm probably wrong but i took it in a way that he's going through a rough life, and he's looking for somewhere or someone to be with where he will be happy to die.
Yes but he is clearly looking for a sign of somekind to be laid to rest either by death or peace of mind. And through all the shit he's been through death seems the only true way out. Yet he still searchs or clearly he wouldn't be here making badass music.
