And that by design
It is full of holes
And it's full of pain, lost, violent criminals
With a little fate
And the worst of lies
With a love so deep
It's war with endless fire inside
Go right back to her line

Every single day
Every nine to five
Everybody works so hard and then we finally die
And there's no remorse
Or the slightest sound
We're forever cool with the way it all breaks up and down

Let's start a riot
Nobody's right, nobody's wrong
Life's just a game, it's just one epic holiday
And whether all of this takes us so long
Take us away, it's just one epic holday

And the Sunday rain
Like a lonely ghost
And the furthest point from here is right outside the door
Open up your eyes
Take a breath of will
And the sun is still alive, even though it's hard to tell

Let's start a riot
Nobody's right, nobody's wrong
Life's just a game, it's just one epic holiday
And whether all of this takes us so long
Take us away, it's just one epic holiday

    General Comment:hes talking about the idea that life is LITERALLY what you make it, it's not real, you control everything.

    sanity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled.

    My Interpretation:What i got from this incredible song was that you only have one life and you've gotta live it to fullest.
    I mean what do you do on holidays? You get with the people you love and just have a great time. Tom is just trying to say that why do you only have to do this on certain days, why not every day of your life?

    General Comment:Catchy song. The intro sounds like something from the 80's scene.

    General Comment:This is one of my favorites on the new album. Yet it feels like it would fit in better on the I-Empire album next to Everything Magic and Love Like Rockets (has kind of the same sound). Still a great song and the intro is absolutely epic. I fell you will be hearing it used for a TV commercial or in a Movie, just wait and see...

    General Comment:once again i have a totally different opinion.

    i know tom is all about scifi and supernateral stuff,
    so i think this song is about how are spirits come down to earth to expereience what it's like
    and have a "holiday"
    and then eventually we die and we shouldn't worry about the little rights and wrongs,
    because there is a much bigger picture after death.

    My Opinion:Absolutely adore this song, first time I heard it I fell in love with it :D. Although the lyrics are a little bit cheesy, the message is clear and it's brilliant.

    You only live once and live it to the full. Love it.

    General Comment:Agreed. Our time is borrowed and we need to make the best of it. Uplifting and humbling at the same time. Genius.
