I think he's just struggling with how empty existence feels.

You're right...he is struggling with the emptiness of existence. We all are.

...and that would be why I say kudos to all of you to whom this song appeals. If it touches you, you felt something - and if you felt something, you know something others don't, as do I.

It's a mad world...but we're built to weather it.

This song is about war...read my review on the 5th page for more detail.

I agree, and that's why it's the perfect song for Donnie Darko. Donnie is the same way, he finds that all this s**t and society and living is just a bunch of bull.

Oh and don't say god can help. Please. If you don't understand why this song is like this, you won't even get close to understanding the people that do.

A song writer said it right: "Everyone is so pissed and mad all the time. And then they call the people who want to enjoy life druggies and degenerates. What's wrong and right?"
