Finding Our Purpose: Igniting Life with the Energy of Adrenaline

I love the band DED’s song, “Purpose: Be myself.” The title is so awesome. As the song says; “I feel my purpose calling; Lift me off the ground; I just wanna be my-; Self assured and I’m not coming down; I just wanna be myself.” It is so powerful to think of that feeling of our purpose calling us. Our purpose is such a very personal thing. If we are living our purpose, we can truly be ourselves.

DED – Purpose: Be Myself

The other lines in the lyrics of this song that really jumped out at me were “Live in adrenaline; Inside adrenaline; Become adrenaline.” To me, these lines convey a sense of embracing intense emotions and energy. “Adrenaline” here symbolizes feelings of excitement, passion, and a desire to feel alive. Living and being inside adrenaline suggest fully immersing ourselves in these powerful sensations, pushing beyond comfort zones. Ultimately, “become adrenaline” could mean embodying that energy as a core part of ourself—living authentically with intensity and vigor. In other words: living our purpose. This song really inspires us to embrace our inner strength and passion so we can truly “be ourself.”
