Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is war
To the soldier, the civilian, the martyr, the victim
This is war
It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
And the moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight,
To the right to the left
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth,
It's a brave new world from the last to the first
To the right, to the left,
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world
(Whoa oh, whoa oh)
A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest
This is war
To the leader, the pariah, the victor, the messiah
This is war
It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
And the moment to live and the moment to die
The moment to fight, the moment to fight,
To fight, to fight, to fight
To the right, to the left,
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth,
It's a brave new world from the last to the first
To the right, to the left,
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world, it's a brave new world
I do believe in the light, raise your hands up to the sky
The fight is done, the war is won, lift your hands towards the sun
Towards the sun, (it's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
It's the moment to live and the moment to die, the moment to fight)
Towards the sun,
Towards the sun, (it's the moment of truth and the moment to lie
It's the moment to live and the moment to die, the moment to fight)
The war is won (to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight)
To the right, to the left,
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth,
It's a brave new world from the last to the first
To the right, to the left,
We will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world, it's a brave new world, it's a brave new world
A brave new world
The war is won
The war is won
A brave new world

I think that song and the video revolves around the search for who they are and their purpose in life, as well as the challenges they encountered along the way. All of them are in search of who they are and their life purpose. Along the way they receive messages that life send to them, and face several obstacles, which are their deepest fears. The relationships are shown as sadomasochistic, implying that the pleasure and the pain they provide, turn into ties that arrest us, thus becoming the biggest obstacles to our search for ourselves and our purpose ...
One aspect that is in the lyrics of the song, but is also shown in the videoclip is that sometimes you have to abandon a dream to follow another one, and that life is about choices. When we choose something, sometimes we have to give up another.
In my opinion, the lyrics is a monologue about mixed feelings about a choice that he made in life when he had to leave the love of his life behind to meet his purpose in life (which here is metaphorically exemplified as God.)
When he sings:
"The promises we made Were not enough
The prayers That We had prayed Were like a drug
The Secrets That We Were sold never known
The love we had, the love we had, we had to let it go, oh"
he meet three blond children, drawing symbols on the floor. Once they see him, they get up and run away. Immediately, many symbols of the band are tattooed on his body. In my opinion, this scene symbolizes the resignation of a dream to achieve another dream. The children who run away, symbolize the lost dream of having a family with the woman he loved. This dream was replaced by other dream - 30 seconds to mars.
This is quite a dramatic love story, but this is how i perceive it. Do you agree with me?

No matter how many times that you told me you wanted to leave
No matter how many breaths that you took, you still couldn't breathe
No matter how many nights that you lie wide awake to the sound of poison rain
Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
As days go by, the night's on fire
Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground
No matter how many deaths that I die I will never forget
No matter how many lives that I live, I will never regret
There is a fire inside of this heart
And a riot about to explode into flames
Where is your God? Where is your God? Where is your God?
Ooooooo-ooohhh Ooooooo-ooohhh
Do you really want...
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead,
Or alive to torture for my sins?
Do you really want...
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead,
Or alive to live a lie?
Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground
The promises we made were not enough (Never play the game again)
The prayers that we have prayed were like a drug (Never gonna hit the air)
The secrets that we sold were never known (Never sing a song for you)
The love we had, the love we had, we had to let it go.
(Never giving in again, Never giving in again)
Tell me would you kill to save a life?
Tell me would you kill to prove you're right?
Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn
This hurricane's chasing us all underground
Whoa, This hurricane [x3]
Whoa
Do you really want...
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead,
Or alive to torture for my sins?
Do you really want...
Do you really want me?
Do you really want me dead,
Or alive to live a lie?
