♫ 30 Seconds To Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Six billion people, just one name
I found tomorrow in today
Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change
You want to be the one in control
You want to be the one who's alive
You want to be the one who gets sold
Stand out on the edge of the Earth
Stand out on the edge of the Earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right in the sight of a gun
Look into this new future's face
I know you know enough to, say
I know you know enough to, play
The game
You want to be the one in control
You want to be the one who's alive
You want to be the one who gets sold
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time
Stand out on the edge of the Earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right in the sight of a gun
Look into this new future's face
Stand out on the edge of the Earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right in the sight of a gun
Look into this new future's face
Stand on the edge of the Earth
Stand on the edge of the Earth
Stand on the edge of the Earth
Look into this new future's face
Stand on the edge of the Earth
Stand out on the edge of the Earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right in the sight of a gun
Look into this new future's face

On the day of my wedding I was just letting whatever music play as I was driving the hour to the venue. I had been stressed, worried about everything, missing the presence of my father who died when I was just starting adulthood. This song came on and I had to pull over and have a solid sobbing cry for a good 10 minutes. I didn't know I needed this song. I never cried once at the wedding. It's Iike suddenly everything was OK. Now I put it on and suddenly everything seems a little more ok.
