**sorry i accidentally deleted what came after that but..** the lines above can still be in regards to the presence and the fact that it was the presence that actually ended it all. so when zero-sum states: "They're starting to open up the sky, they're starting to reach down through. It feels like we're living in that split second of a car crash. And time is slowing down, and if we'd only had a little more time than this," Everyone's finally realizing that the world's problems with each other was unnecessary because it would just bring destruction. The Beginning of the End can be used as the intro to the storyline. Survivalism, Capital G, and Meet Your Master can be "the body of the essay" that explains to us how we are adding to the end like the uprising of a Demigod and the rebellion of The Resistance. In this case, we wouldn't know that it was coming because we would feel like we Control everything and even a "Warning" like the presence wouldn't scare us because we are so engulfed with ourselves. Trent can just use the presence in a metaphorical way and compare it to the green house effect, the limited supplies that we will have to deal with, or the constant mini wars that are coming from all over the place. To wrap it all up In This Twilight and Zero-Sum are the conclusion to this album or story. We are under the impression that the end really did come but because Trent is still going on about a second album to add to Year Zero, this might be the start of something completely different. Like a world after the Presence has restored some kind of balance or honest scare leaving only the innocent behind. |

damn it. i think i'm over analyzing this one song but if you listen to "In this Twilight" and hear: watch the sun, as it crawls across a final time >>>>and it feels like, like it was a friend. it is watching us, and the world we set on fire do you wonder, if it feels the same? |

okay maybe it was a little TOO out there. but it would be pretty different if all this time everyone's so caught up in what's going on with their war and so on that they were hit from a different side. oh well, it's wrong, but year zero is fucking brilliant. |

i love how raw this song is. When I first heard it at the listening party, i was blown away as everything clashed melodically. As far as the lyrics, what if it was written like this, Some say it was a warning Some say it was a sign I was standing right there When it came down from the sky The way it spoke to us You felt it from inside Said it was up to us Up to us to decide "You've become a virus That has eaten up its host We've been watching you with all of our eyes And what you seem to value most" "So much potential Or so we used to say Your greed, self importance, and your arrogance You piss it all away" "We heard a cry We've come to intervene You will change your ways and you will make amends Or we will wipe this place clean" "Your time is tick-tick-ticking away" In other words, The Presence has always been around but it has finally made an appearance. Everything in quotation marks are the words coming from what it had to say. The last part as far as "you will change your ways and you will make amends//or we will wipe this place clean// your time is tick-tick-ticking away" can be the very warning right before the world was bombed, not necessarily by armed forces but by something a little higher, like the presence. I know it's a little out there but why else would the presence be presented to us if it did not play a key role in the storyline. |

| What if G stands for something a little more simple like Government? Trent could be writing about George Bush, but don't you think he'd rather keep blaming Government. | |
