Search and Destroy

30 Seconds to Mars

Grab your gun
Time to go to hell
I'm no hero
Guilty as charged
Search and destroy

Found my faith
Living in sin
I'm no Jesus
But neither are you, my friend

I'm a whore
Above the broken dreams
The simple answer is never what it seems

A million little pieces
We've broken into
A million little pieces
Are stolen from you

Search and destroy (x4)

Sold my soul
To heaven and to hell
Sick as my secrets
But never gonna tell

I do believe
The burden of my dreams
Because your faith is a blessing
I believe (x6)

Search and destroy (x5)

Let go
Let go
Let me go
Let me go

Let go
Let go
Let me go

(Search and destroy)

A million little pieces (x7)

Stolen from you

Woah, oh oh, woah
Woah, oh oh, woah
Woah, oh oh, woah
Woah, oh oh, woah

Search and destroy (x4)

A million little pieces
A million little pieces the start

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
