That's good, because, after all, he was born to be alive.

this is a pretty perfect description, but it's too bad that it's not as good as this should be

'born to be alive' is still one of the greatest songs ever and i credit it with my vastly improved mood today

WHERE IS JESS
I had never heard Born to be Alive before, but heard it twice on the playlist at Six Flags yesterday. Their playlist is usually mass appeal pop from the 60s-80s with a vaguely nautical or tropical theme. Other stuff on their playlist included: Walking on Sunshine, Escape (The Pina Colada Song), Margaritaville, Surf City, Under the Boardwalk, Surfin' Bird, Rock Lobster, Heart of Glass, various Bob Marley Legend tracks. Does Born to be Alive figure into this in any kind of logical way? Does it have any sort of mainstream cultural resonance?

It is my interpretation of this song, that 'born to be alive' means the rejection of metaphysical meaning in our lives, we are not born for any purpose other than life its self. How ever it over comes nihilism in the Nietzschean sense by affirming life on these terms, the song is cheerful, however there are key changes that signify perhaps an edge of sadness or tragedy, in this sense the song knows it dances on the edge of an abyss and that most are unable to achieve the celebration of life drives without a meaning beyond, it knows the despair to which most respond to its insight, and even this, it can dance to as a life drive worthy of affirmation. Another line, 'people ask my why I never find a place to stop and settle down down down, but I never wanted all the things that people need to justify their lives lives lives'. this again links to Nietzsche's rejection of 'herd mentality' as well as his repeated poetic uses of the image of the wanderer.
