Capricorn
.30 Seconds to Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll start again with a brand new name
And eyes that see into infinity
I will disappear
I told you once and I'll say it again
I want my message read clear
I'll show you the way, the way I'm going
So I run, hide and tear myself up
Start again with a brand new name
And eyes that see into infinity
I was almost there
Just a moment away from becoming unclear
Ever get the feeling you're gone
I'll show you the way, the way I'm going
So I run, hide and tell myself
I'll start again with a brand new name
And eyes that see into infinity
So I run, start again
With a brand new name
With a brand new name
So I run and hide and tell myself (so I run)
I'll start again with a brand new name (start again)
And eyes that see into infinity (with a brand new name)
I will disappear
At its core, "Capricorn" is a song about the desire to start anew and leave everything behind. The opening lines "So I run, hide and tell myself/I'll start again with a brand new name/And eyes that see into infinity" suggest that the singer is running away from their past and wants to begin again with a fresh identity. This is reinforced by the later lines "I was almost there/Just a moment away from becoming unclear," which indicates that the singer is on the verge of letting go of their old self but hasn't quite succeeded yet.
The repetition of the lines "I'll show you the way, the way I'm going" and "I will disappear" emphasizes the singer's desire for a new beginning and the need to leave their past behind. Furthermore, the reference to "eyes that see into infinity" implies that the singer is seeking a new perspective on life that will allow them to gain a greater sense of understanding and meaning.
Overall, "Capricorn" is a song about the desire for change and renewal. It speaks to anyone who has felt stuck in their life or weighed down by their past and yearns to start again with a clean slate.

Just a moment away from becoming unclear
Being so close to losing sight of who I am and what I want, and having to start over from scratch
Ever get the feeling you're gone
Feeling like a shell of my former self or like I don't belong in my current situation
So I run, start again
Choosing to start fresh and leave my past behind, despite the unknown future
With a brand new name
Embracing a new identity and persona, hoping for a better outcome
I will disappear
Repeating my desire to escape and start again, even if it means leaving everything and everyone behind

@A7XKoRnRocks1
The real 30 Seconds to mars, the first album is the best.
@miguli
+3rd World Gamer Oh yes ;)
@Rodrigombia1990
I hate to say it but Jared is really wise but also an asshole he practically sacrified his fanbase from the start and they got more posers than ever. And I'll tell you what if they continued with this sound yeah they'd probably be an underground band but more respectful as well for sure.
@desiree7916
Yeeeah! Just wondering what happened
@Rebirth_ramz
The second one is to good too. To me, it's the best of all four albums.
@Venus-zn3qo
A beautiful lie is also really good
@carolinem.100
10 years later and I can't believe this is the same band. I really miss the old days and I understand Tomo more than ever.
@holly.l7321
Same
@monn.y
It's even older, the album is from 2002.
The mv is from 2003 I think
@davidnissim589
This was made before Tomo joined the group
