In Flames: Pinball Map Meaning

Pinball Map Lyrics

As I aim for that bright white day
Conflict serum is my aura
It seems that life's so fragile
I guess I'll fly some other time

I lack from superhighway thoughts
Won't live as long as the city lights
Soaked by underwater times
Electric...

   I think it's about how he's going through life not knowing who he really is (the driver still unknown to me) he just knows he wants to do something amazing 9just something radical) he's not like other people who settle for life's small pleasures (Sometimes I don't belong Release me from your world Pacified by the small things in life I wait for earthquakes to rearrange) but because that's all he knows he's trying to so many different things and its ripping him apart, you can't do them all well(A be Everything and everyone,I shrivel up and waste away) and it seems every time he hets close to achieving something it all comes crashing down (glimpse of joy But soon it's over and I return to dust)

   This song is really difficult to make a interpretation to.
   I think it's about his life and that he feels like he don't got any control of it. He just lets someone (maby someone up there you know...) control him -> "Guided by the pinball map. The driver, still unknown to me". This is what I think. Its really hard to get a meaning out of this song but here is what I picture when I read the lyrics and listens well. So deal free to say I'm all wrong.
