Scott Stapp is the lead singer from Creed and this song is from his solo album The Great Divide...i know, kind of ironic the first song that came up comes from the lead singer of a christian rock band but i don't discriminate music, *i only discriminate in real life...anyways love the lyrics to the chorus in this song "i do not have to justify/the way i live my life/i don't not have to justify/the reason i'm alive/no more, no more"...my take (different lyrics may be interpreted differently by different people, and thus my opinions in no way reflect those of scott stapp): nobody's belief's or opinions trump those of another...if you don't agree with me and my decisions, leave me alone...i don't have to prove to you that my life choices are suitable.
weirdly i find some of the most religious people to be ridiculously hypocritical with this one. don't judge, don't sin, don't lie...what? you don't believe in my religion/god/rituals? well you're wrong, let me try to convert you before you rot in hell. silly, but whatever floats their boat.
i think mr. stapp realizes the uselessness of trying to justify one's actions also. "yeah i've been that man/who lives deceit/surrounds himself with worldly things"--i mean the guy was a rock star-- and later, "let me change the timber of this section/add a little booze to ice/i guess you probably noticed/i've been living a double life"...awesome--he acknowledges the hypocrisy between his lifestyle/actions and his religion.

Humor Moment: my biopharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics textbook made me giggle today: "statistics are an INTEGRAL part of pharmacokinetics blah blah blah"...get it, calculus- integral-statistics..i thought it was a humorous word choice
