Three Days Grace - Human Race Meaning

Human Race Lyrics

I don't belong here
Not in this atmosphere
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I don't belong here
Not in this atmosphere
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Started with a kick and a punch
A claw to the face
And I was in the race

   Human Race by Three Days Grace, the real meaning is seen at wikipedia. Saw some meanings at songmeanings website. The latest comment, explained their thoughts for this song.
   
   The lyrics is very deep and it may mean many things to different people. I think it's about bullying. On the other hand, I think it's about the expectations of the society for everyone. Nowadays, the goal of everyone around the world is to be successful in life but sometimes when we are not successful right away, people will make conclusions about your life. However, everyone has their own goals in life and not everyone goals are the same. But I think many people also realize that there are more important things in life like being rich and having lots of money and possessions. Many folks also wants to have a simple life and be contented with what they have and be with the people who are valuable to them.

   The song is about being or not being satisfied with what you have and what you want. Trying to achieve your utopia but never getting there.

   I think it may mean that they are sick of trying to fit into a society that they don't belong in. They feel as if it is forcing them to act a certain way to fit in. It could also mean they are tired of being a part of a corporate society that is known as the "human rat race".

   I think this song is saying that they are falling apart, and so is society. Several lines of the song are saying that they are "sick of running"
   and "I was in the the race". They have tried getting away from their issues, but are sick of the cycle.
