Electric President – Ether Lyrics 16 years ago
i see an alcoholic who talks his way out of things and his kids getting taken away as well as his house.

"While you slept it off
Your empire was lost
Now we're not your sons
Your old silver tongue
It don't work too well now"

silver tongue means eloquent speech.

Then as his kids are going through the rest of their life they have more trouble then normal
"We wandered off
With our heads nice and soft
But we were still numb
And we burned in the sun
And got torn to pieces"

The kids then went out of their way to get attention. not sure about the "flying" things underneath the floorboards. seems like they got in a fight, at a bar.

"I walked across from eyes
And scratched my name into the sky
The things beneath my floorboards fly
I'll never let them out
And all my teeth are down at my feet
And all of the blood comes in a flood
Start counting sheep"


the kids grow up ending up with the same problem as their father. they have health issues as well as they try to get by with little money. they're not scared of the problems because they are older.
"While we slept it off
All the money was lost
Now we can't stand up
Yeah, the blood in our guts
It just weighs us down now
We'll crawl along
Despite what goes wrong
'cause we're not that young
Takes more than your guns to scare us off now"

at the end i see one of the kids dying and not caring, seems almost peaceful. like the struggle in their life was so unnecessary and now they can finally be free of things that weren't their fault.

Electric President – Monsters Lyrics 16 years ago
--It seems to me its telling a story of how your friend basicly fell apart.

In through your window the sky will fall.
You'll trap the stars in jars and line them along your walls.
As the moonlight fills the veins beneath your skin,
You'll hear us knocking, oh, but you won't let us in.
--a friend of the theirs gets depressed
--stays inside and traps "stars", hopes and dreams, in a jar
--"the moonlight fills the veins beneath your skin" means that they stay up a lot and probably do nothing during the day.
--they see their friends trying to see whats going on but ignore it

Because you've got no friends,
And you've got no heartbeat.
Your insides are rotten now.
So there's nothing to fix.
--self explainitory
--they don't care anymore.
--they have a bad personality and don't care about being friends
--so there's nothing to fix

But you said it often, before you were lost,
That it's only a day. That it's only a day.
But now you're a monster, and your backbone is soft.
Because you threw it away. Because you threw it away.
--used to have a different view
--friend used to be optimistic and still try
--they turned out bad and now they have no "backbone"

You called me out; I shrugged you off.
I don't have the time to watch you bash in all their skulls.
'cause there's a new boss in town, his heart is black, but his hands can reach through anything.
Stick your head in the ground. You might just dodge the guns.
--they eventually tried to fix the relationship they had, person no longer cared
--they were still the same
--either talking about the friend or themself.

But I'm not your friend.
And I will not fix you.
My insides are hollow now.
So you're all on your own.
--they got hurt real bad, moved on from being friends, so they didn't wanna try again.

But I said it often, before we were lost.
That it's only a day. That it's only a day.
But now I'm a monster, and my blood all runs cold.
Because I threw it away. Because I threw it away.
--because of what happened they are in the same state now. probally the both of them were really close.

But now we've forgotten. And we've sold our blue skies.
But there's nothing to say. We'll be gone in a day.
And yeah, you can't take it with you. But I can sure as hell try.
Now there's nothing to say. I'll be gone in a day.
--not sure

30 Seconds to Mars – Attack Lyrics 18 years ago
This song, to me, means that he's obiously at a point in his life where he's not gonna be hurt anymore or give up.

"I won't suffer, be broken
Get tired or wasted
Surrender to nothing
Or give up what I started
And stop this
From end to beginning"


He's starting over, and is free from what ever pain he had.

"A new day is coming
And I am finally free"


And that he's finally changed and ready to help someone else whom he cares about stop hurting and giving up. Or that he's threatening the person who hurt him.

"Run away, run away
I'll attack
Run away, run away
Go change yourself
Run away, run away
I'll attack, I'll attack, I'll attack"

He had someone whom he loved but for some reason let him go and he's changed because of that, so that he finally sees things clearly.

"I would've kept you forever
But we had to sever
It ended for both of us
Faster than a . . .
Kill off this thinking
It's starting to sink in
I'm losing control now
Without you I can finally see."

The person whom he loved lied to him and hurt him and now he's finally free of them.

"Your promises
They look like lies
Your honesty
Like a back that hides a knife
I promise you
I promise you
I am finally free"

;)
