Skin To Bone

okay so here's my thoughts Skin to bone, steel to rust Ash to ashes, dust to dust Will tomorrow have it's way With the promises we made Skin to bone, steel to rust.

Is saying that over time things die things decay, but will tomorrow have it's way? is refering to a political figure saying something and if they will follow through or not. the following line saying skin to bone,steel to rust. is saying no because things will stay the same.

by doing so the next verse is saying that since thins didn't change I'll be happy when your gone. thus being very rebellious and saying down with how the things are run.

Right to left, left to right Night to day and day to night As the starlight fades to gray, I'll be watching far away Right to left and left to right

is the closure of the song, showing escape from what we were or even watching from death (Heaven) as the world becomes decay

to me this means that we all will die and tomorrow ( or the future) wil keep our promises from being kept. ash to asheds dust to dust. in the three major religion islam, christainty and judaism we all come from clay, dirt or dust and we return to dust. ash after cremation eventually becomes dirt or dust and becomes part of the ground. the most meaningful part ( for me) is "will tomorrow have its way with the promises we made" we make alot of promises not only to others but also to our selfs. things like i will never give up on this (in my case i will never give up on some one) but eventually time has it way with us and we forget those pormises that we made which is so sad :(

The song Meaning (in my opinion) is about broken promises (or somebody that got betrayed).

the first half of the first verse:

Skin to bone, steel to rust Ash to ashes, dust to dust Will tomorrow have it's way With the promises we made Skin to bone, steel to rust.

It's actually about the promises that they make...

The other half of the first verse:

Ash to ashes, dust to dust Your deception, my disgust When your name is finally drawn, I'll be happy that you're gone Ash to ashes, dust to dust.

That's about after the writer got betray

So the song is mostly about the betrayal... nothing else...

"when your name is drawn" the higher self will be happy to see the revolting lower self / body fall back to dust.

I feel like Linkin Park can make song really deep and meaning while still being enjoyable.

Sucks.
