Are You Ready to Live? Lyrics Meaning

I'm not sure what he was feeling but I know my heart broke with his. I have seen Morn love several times, I'm from Hutchinson Kansas, and every show it amazes me how much emotion they pour out into the crowd. I feel like that song suggest he lives to much for other people and not enough for himself. Its depleting his self worth, life and death parallel each other, and we can walk though life never living, and find that death brings about peace. Its a strange contradiction, life and death. I know JD is and always will be so empowering, because his music is from the heart.
