Literally, getting his ass handed to him in the movie seems to be exhilarating to him. "But everything that kills me makes me feel alive" He is sick of lying to the world about what he thinks is right, and lying to himself about who he is. From destroying what he is and covering it up with what you see. He feels something right by breaking the set rules of society, and feels stripped of his freedoms and himself doing what society perceives the right thing to do. "I feel something so right, by doing the wrong thing,Īnd I feel something so wrong by doing the right thing" That is probably what drive him to make the Fight Club, sick of being in a pointless society with no freedoms. So he might be sick if this fact, and sick of following orders from others trying to advance a society with no purpose, no meaning. I think this is him thinking that the world doesn't really know what to do, where it's going.
"I don't think the world is sold, I'm just doing what we're told" It might be in here because he wants to make an impact on the world in some way. This might be saying that he hasn't doesn't done much in his life, or he isn't that bold. "Old, but I'm not that old, young, but I'm not that bold" It could mean that he's clearly done something exhilarating because he's flashing signs such as smiling and such.
This could mean that it's clear he's been in a fight from all the blood and wounds on his face, "In my face is flashing signs, seek them out and you shall find" The swing my heart across the line is saying that he doesn't care if he steps out of line, it's part of the fun. This line is saying that he sees life like a potential thrill ride, and he wants to swing on it as much as possible. "I see this life, like a swinging vine, swing my heart across the line" That's what I mean) by fighting then wasting his life. He'd rather be knocked out and counting stars (you know in cartoons when a character gets hit on the head and stars start swirling around them. He is sick of society telling him to earn a living, working at a crappy job to simply buy stupid crap he doesn't need. Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars" "But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, The narrator (Edward Norton) is clearly losing sleep dreaming about what his club could become. "Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep, dreaming about the things that we could be" If you don't believe me, I've taken the song and managed to connect it to the movie (and since the movie possess many of the themes talked about here that was quite easy).
