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
[Chorus]
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've followed 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 to free the beast
Falling faster as time goes by
Fear has not seen through these eyes
What there was will never be
Now I'm blind and cannot see
[Chorus: x2]
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
[Chorus]
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've followed 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 to free the beast
Falling faster as time goes by
Fear has not seen through these eyes
What there was will never be
Now I'm blind and cannot see
[Chorus: x2]

Maybe it's just me, and I was a soldier too.
Would be a good song to have blaring from your Personnel Carrier's speakers when making enemy contact. Lock and load.
" Kiss me while Im still alive Kill me while I kiss the sky" - from Purple Haze "Scuze me while I Kiss the Sky"... I see a connection between the life and death of Hendrix and his lifestyle that is simular to this songs lyrics and that chorus...
It may be a stretch but its a connection from my point of view...
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 :-/
