Hey it's my time
To change my direction in life just by reading the signs
Hey it's my turn
To see how many of my bridges will burn
I feel something breathing down my neck
Thought of tomorrow's got me like a nervous wreck
No time for sorrow it's your judgment day
It's not far away It's not far away
There's a shiny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
It's not far away
Hey I got something to say
Before the spirit of life starts slippin' away
I'm not gonna end my life
Wishing for one more chance again to get it right
I hear voices echo from the grave
Whispering softly it's your judgment day
Hey I won't rest in peace
Until this world is sick of hearing from mr
Hey get outta my way
I got a lot more living to do before my
Judgment day

    My Interpretation

    Similarly to others I think this song is about reaching that period in your life where you need to decide whether to live your life, or the life others choose for you.

    The burn bridges and breathing down my neck suggest adults (or could be society) ... will you burn bridges by revolting against what they want you to be / do??

    The shiny coffin line to me suggests that if you don't chose your own life, then might as well spend your life in a coffin as you aren't really "alive".
