I might think this song this song is about Osama/Al-Qaeda and the US or something, I don't think this is a song about a relationship, it is 30STM, I would assume there's more to it.

There is a meaning for all of their songs but it changes from person to person....what I think the song is about could/would be different to what you think....I see it as a severing of ties with the old and starting with the new..geting over th past....but thats just me biggrin.gif

I think it's about some person. As well, because Jared's vioce is desperate and full of pain actually. (I never heard so much emotions listening to the 1st album) I wonder when this song has been really written. No names either.

i think... Jared is seeking for something noble... immortality or Reality.

he feels whatever we say, they are lies.
he wants the absolute truth.

he attacks our fake life. he attacks us.
he wants us to seek our lives.

I think bands love it when their fans come up with their own perception of the songs. So many different meanings from everyone, no two alike, I think they like seeing what we come up with and seeing if someone hits the nail on the head.

I'm at school and the sound doesn't work, but I am playing it in my head so stay with me. I will only be able to really focus on the chorus....

I feel that it is about a sacrifice that one makes for another. the words being "Run away, run away, I'll attack" symbolize throwing yourself into harms way for someone who is weak. I look at it as more of a emotional attack aposed to a physical one...

This is a very sweet thought, but I think when he says, 'go chase yourself', it's a clue to something more bitter towards whoever he's addressing. I do agree that he is making the statement towards a person/persons who is/are 'weak'. He is definitely reaffirming his strength, even in the face of all the lies and backstabbing.

Then again, our perception of a good song will always change, depending on where one happens to be at in a particular moment in time.

I think you have a point here, I suppose the song must be dedicated to a person that's close to the band than to polytics.

Maybe more like close to Jared? He's the writer, right? Or used to be close.

I am not sure if Jared wrote the song, so I that's why I noted close to the band, but if someone has more info, please share it with us:)

Does anybody have the song saved to their computer? It won't play here for some reason and I'd really like to hear it!

thanks.
