Josiah Queen's song reflects on the emptiness of life without God, drawing from Ecclesiastes' themes of vanity and meaninglessness. The lyrics express a search for purpose that leaves the singer numb, ultimately confessing that all he needs is God. The song emphasizes the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits and the desire to find true meaning in a relationship with the divine.

Nothing's new under the sun
Nothing You do hasn't already been done
We work and we toil all day
We spend the nights dreaming of what's more to gain
Oh, what's more to gain?
Meaningless, oh, meaningless
This life is without You
I don't wanna live just to die
Miss the meaning of this life
I searched the world, low and high
Left me numb, with empty eyes
Meaningless, oh, meaningless
This life is without You
I don't wanna live just to die
Miss the meaning of this life
Of this life
The writing is up on the wall
It says that the prideful will rise
Before they fall
We don't know it all
I don't wanna live just to die
Miss the meaning of this life
I searched the world, low and high
Left me numb, with empty eyes
Meaningless, oh, meaningless
This life is without You
I don't wanna live just to die
Miss the meaning of this life
Meaningless, oh, meaningless
This life is without You
The deepest depth my soul confesses
All I need is You
I don't wanna live just to die
Miss the meaning of this life
I searched the world, low and high
Left me numb, with empty eyes
Meaningless, oh, meaningless
This life is without You
I don't wanna live just to die
Miss the meaning of this life
Of this life
