Lyrics for Life Of My Own as interpreted by Nelly

Life Of My Own Lyrics
Living risky,
never scared, wander
Closer to the edge
Nothing valued think no fear,
Always wondering why you’re here
All your purposes are gone, nothing’s
Right and nothing’s wrong
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Feel no sorrow, feel no pain
Kiss me while I’m still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms,
Let me live and let me learn
Now I’ll follow my own way, and I’ll
Live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life
Looking forward, not behind
Everybody’s got to cross that line
Free me now to give me a place,
Keep me caged and free the beast
Falling faster, time goes by,
Fear is not seen through these eyes
What there was will never be,
Now I’m blind and cannot see
Kiss me while I’m still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me
Live and let me learn
Now I’ll follow my own way, and I’ll
Live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life
Kiss me while I’m still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me
Live and let me learn
Now I’ll follow my own way,
And I’ll live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life.

i think this song is bout a guy who lives his life on the edge never really takes much caution and doesnt live in fear like oh if i do this this will happen or if i say that this one might fight with me etc.etc.its bout not caren and being free.and "KISS ME WHILE im still alive kill me while i kiss the sky"is kinda like kiss me while im still here and kill me while my dreams come true like kill my while i live my live my way doing what i want.

To me, this song is about finding a meaning to live. It sounds like he feels he's just going through the motions and looking for a purpose. Although he's not fearing life, he doesn't feel alive. He doesn't know what to believe in. He doesn't want to conform to what everyone holds true and wants to stay true to himself, but doesn't exactly see a point. It's optimistic and pessimistic at the same time.

i think its abuot living life on the edge, and hes losing control of life. it has a dark edge to it and the guitar suits the lyrics very well, theres also a sense of desperation in the chorus... brilliantly written song

First off, bad ASS song, but hey, we all know that :3
Personally i think it's a mix
"Living risky, never scared, wander closer to the edge nothing valued think no fear, always wondering why you’re here all your purposes are gone, nothing’s right and nothing’s wrong, nothing ventured nothing gained, feel no sorrow, feel no pain." Basically he lives life on the edge, he can't find a reason to live, he has nothing to fear because nothings valued, and he's always wondering why we are here. He sees that good and evil are just figments of our mind, and that what you don't go to get isn't getting you anywhere.
I'll update as i learn more :-/

Let me live and let me learn!

AWESOME!
I totally agree! (And I love how you keep finding these songs with the galloping beats! (see STANDING by VNV Nation http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/38787/1/DESC/#comment) We must have each been riding those powerful and magnificently brilliant "warrior spirit" horses in the 1st estate ... before we each came down to earth.

"Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained" ... is exactly the strong, adamant fearlessness I love ... crave ... have constantly searched for in others hoping someone could be consistently brave. Finally ... somebody who really IS fearless and isn't just faking it.

I am grateful and amazed at your maturity and intelligence. I KNOW it's YOUR bright and noble spirit, and the radical mind you've developed here on your own - in your triumphs - and through adversities here on earth.

You are Awesome! This is really going to be interesting.
