Oblivion
▼ 30 Seconds to Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Escape into the night
Everybody run now, everybody run now
Break into another time
This enemy of mine
Divinity defines
Everybody run now, everybody run now
Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
I'm waiting for the day to come
Come with us to the right
Join in the fight
Everybody run now, everybody run now
Break into another time
The enemy divides
Division will unite
Everybody run now, everybody run now
Everybody run now, everybody run
Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
I'm waiting for the day to come
Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
America, it's all so beautiful
Until it goes away
Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
Under the burning sun
I take a look around
Imagine if this all came down
The lyrics to 30 Seconds to Mars' song "Oblivion" describes a sense of urgency and chaos as the enemy arrives and everyone is running for their lives. The singer reflects on the idea of a potential apocalypse, imagining what it would be like if everything were to come crashing down. The repeated lines, "everybody run now," emphasize the urgency and the need to escape into another time.
The song seems to suggest that the enemy is powerful and dividing, but in the face of such danger, people should come together and fight against it. The line "division will unite" implies that individuals should put aside their differences and come together as one to overcome the enemy. The end of the song reflects on the beauty and fragility of America, suggesting that even something as beautiful as America can be destroyed if it is not protected.
Overall, "Oblivion" is a song about the need for unity and strength in times of uncertainty and chaos. It encourages people to come together against the enemy and fight for their survival.

''Up in the air''
I've been up in the air
Out of my head
Stuck in a moment of emotion I've destroyed
Is this the end I feel?
Up in the air
Fucked up our life
All of the laws I've broken, loves that I've sacrificed
Is this the end?
I wrap my hands around you neck so tight with love, love
A thousand times I've tempted fate
A thousand times I've played this game
A thousand times that I have said today, today, today
I've been up in the air
Lost in the night
I wouldn't trade out for you lies you lost for my life
Is this the end
You were the love of my life, the darkness, the light
This is a portrait of the tortured you and I
Is this the, is this the, is this the end?
I wrap my hands around you neck so tight with love, love, love
A thousand times I've tempted fate
A thousand times I've played this game
A thousand times that I have said today, today, today
A thousand times I've tempted fate
A thousand times I've played this game
A thousand times that I have said today, today, today
I've been up in the air
Is this the end I feel?
Up in the air
Chasing a dream so real
I've been up in the air (I wrap my hands around you neck)
Is this the end I feel
Up in the air
Chasing a dream, Chasing a dream
Take no more
Take no more
Take no more
I'll take no more
A thousand times I've tempted fate (I'll take no more)
A thousand times I've played this game (I'll take no more)
A thousand times that I have said today, today, today (I'll take no more)
Today (I wrap my hands)
Today (hands around)
Today (your neck)
Today (with love, love)
Today (I'll wrap my hands)
Today (around your neck)
Today (with love, love)
Today
I'll wrap my hands around your neck
I'll wrap my hands around your neck with love, love

Stuck in a moment of emotion I’ve destroyed
Is this the end I feel?

You lost for my life

You were the love of my life
The darkness, the light
This is a portrait of the tortured
you and I
Is this is end?
I wrap my hands around your neck
So tight with love, love

Chisom Anyanwu I know around 2002 before I knew who they were they performing in a small venue I was bartending I didn't reconize Jared was talking to me telling me I was hot I just said to him thank you and so are you. Until my boss came up to me and told me you know you were just talking to Jared Leto from TSTM he's also an actor. I didn't have a clue at that time.
