Lyrics here
Life has no inherent meaning, you are correct.
Simply because it does not exist at birth does not mean it cannot be
made.
Make your own, it's your story. Live it how you want (there are consequences, of course, but you know that).
You were given life by your parents, use it. Manipulate it. Life is yours to keep, yours to greet, yours to travel with merry feet.
Individually, we mean nothing. As an ever-growing, collective ocean of molecules, we have great potential.
Yes, life does gradually extinguish; it also regrows and continues. What you do in your lifetime affects the larger pattern
simply by existing and doing. If nothing else, take comfort in the fact that any bad things you do will be (very gradually) swept away by time -
no pain or destruction lasts, but the growth you start and maintain affects others too (and even more people in turn). That (ripples), in my opinion, is what makes life worth living.
