Everyone is wrong about this song.

Btw, the album is great.

This song is not about Muslim terrorists that will die for hundreds of years to come. No, it's not about 911 and looking to Bush as a leader. Although that is a interesting point of view. But I don't want to spend yrs and yrs thinking about greiving and bleeding at the hands of terrorists... they will not win.

No, I'd rather know that my government is killing State-less, radical, muslim - islamic terrorists across the globe. Just the truth... I do have free speech , yes?


This song is about the coming of Christ. The second coming of Christ will come and he will take his followers while he will leave the others behind... At this time he will judge all...

How can he do this... well, when I think of the coming of Christ I think beyond 3-D. Here on earth we most likely think often of 3-D and we see in 3-D. In math class we talk about 1-D the number line and 2-D the X and Y axis... Well when you think of Christ and God think of something like, say, 10-D... 20-D

We can't see in 4-D, and if you can then you must be smoking something pretty powerful...

Anyhow, the song is talking about planes falling from the sky as Christian pilots are removed from the pilot's seat, corporeal matter and all.

The lyrics also say that the Christians will not look back toward the earth where they might become a sacrifice.

The specific lyrics...

Don't look down don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you don't look down, you'll fall down, you'll become their sacrifice right or wrong can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you if I can't feel, I'm not mine, I'm not real

There are some lyrics there that talk about someone not going to heaven, maybe a boyfriend... "I'm lost without you".

Your not the only one... that would be the Christians realizing that they are not the only ones in this world - because with all the secular people Christians often think they are alone.

One moment in the song she says she doesn't deserve Christ... sounds like Paul from the Bible...

The is one part that talks about not believing the lies of a secular person, evil or say some demon.

I diagree with 'The second coming of Christ will come and he will take his followers while he will leave the others behind... At this time he will judge all...'

Christ doesn't just take his followers and leave everyone else behind- he takes everyone and helps those who are doubtful to be more faithful.

I also disagre with 'Everyone is wrong about this song.' Did you know that you can't be wrong or right on an interpretation, because it is your personal view or opinion.

I agree with what Gummy said.

I must say that as an evanescence fan it's good to hear similar interpretations to mine: cg's thoughts on these songs are almost perfect copies :¶
