OUGD406 Brief 1 - Song lyric annotation

The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be (Lyrics)
Lyric annotation

And how does it feel like to wake up in the sun,
And how does it feel like to shine on everyone,
How does it feel like to let forever be,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony 
How does it feel like to sail in on the breeze,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony 
And how does it feel like to make it happening,
And how does it feel like to breath with everything,
And how does it feel like to let forever be,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony 
And how does it feel like to to be a Christian being
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony
How does it feel like,
to be a crystal fiend?How does it feel like,to spend a little lifetime sitting in the gutter? 
Scream a symphony



There is clear indication of repetition "How does it feel
like", time repeating itself which explains the repetition 
of clocks and everything else.

And how does it feel like to wake up in the sun,
And how does it feel like to shine on everyone,
How does it feel like to let forever be,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
- Wasting time? Substance abuse? Wasting a life?
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony 
- Bad decisions? Again substance abuse?
How does it feel like to sail in on the breeze,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony 
And how does it feel like to make it happening,
And how does it feel like to breath with everything,
And how does it feel like to let forever be,
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony 
And how does it feel like to to be a Christian being
- Doing wrong to the religion? Unchristian acts? Sarcasm? self 
destruction?
And how does it feel like to spend a little lifetime
Sitting in the gutter screaming symphony
How does it feel like,
to be a crystal fiend?
- Crystal meth? Drug dealer/user?How does it feel like,to spend a little lifetime sitting in the gutter? 
Scream a symphony


From reading the lyrics I get the impression it is a drug
addiction and the "how does it feel like?" is a judgement
stating how the person is a disappointment to society.
