"must erase it fast"- "Until we dead it, forget it let it all disappear". The "fire" here is good, its like in the "resistance" from muse "let our hearts ignite"-"it could be wrong, it could be wrong.but i should had been right". waiting for the end to come, because "this" was never meant to last".its the end of a cycle, the end is the beggining.
When the "fight" ends,("It's hard to let you go") he was holding to something "i haven't got", he is "picking up the pieces, now where to begin ,The hardest part of ending is starting again." moving on. Imo this song is about an inner struggle, like when they say "We say yeah with fists flying up in the air", i think "air" is the fight in his mind, "What was left when that fire was gone,", its like a fight between good and evil, or between two universal forces, I felt that while viewing the video, you know the blue and red, or maybe its the other way around "I thought it felt right but that right was wrong". I agree with you, but i think the catalyst fits better with your doomsday description. needing to find a way to move on from "the end" which is the hardest part. later they mention picking up the pieces, the remnants of the chaos and destruction. "What was left when that fire was gone I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on" the word fire can easily stand for the destruction. no one knows what its like to live without our technologies and gizmos and such. after this destruction we will be living in pain and fear, pain from the great losses we all will experience and fear from fear of the unknown. i think this song is talking about the upcomming doomsday as not the end or the beginning. " /artist/linkin-park/album/a-thousand-suns/…" thats the article there in the quotes. i read an article about linkin parks new album having references to 2012 and the apocalypic destruction of our planet. but i think you guys are thinking to small. My Interpretationi agree with everyones concept on this song. Things can get better, but you do have to start again. With depression, the fire is gone and you feel like you are in the eye of the storm. The hardest part of ending is starting again!" They are trying to hold on but feel like they don't have anything to hold on to, or they don't have anything to hold on to, but they are trying to hold on.Īnd trying to figure out what it's like moving on Those with depression lie often about how they are doing. They don't have the strength to fight on. These verses make me think of someone with depression who has given up the fight. Many people who struggle with depression put on a brave face, but they feel empty inside with a battle that rages within - one that no one can see.įighting depression is hard and scary and they are holding on to anything they can - even that which no one else can see. My InterpretationThis song fits those who have taken their lives or those who are struggling with depression. 'Cause we're living at the mercy of (holding on to what I haven't got) Rocking every revision (I'm holding on to what I haven't got) The hardest part of ending is starting again So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin? My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead Tryna figure out what it's like moving onĪnd I don't even know what kind of things I've said I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
