It's about mankind making its first ventures in to space. Even though it seems like we've been at it for a while, space travel and astronomy with instruments that aren't Earth-based are still in their early stages.
When we study deep space, we have no idea what could be out there, because we've only scratched the surface. Thus, the observers have to pick through every single thing, because something previously unknown could go undiscovered just because they didn't know to keep an eye out for it. Thus, people who study space are "in constant search for everything." (And that is my favorite line in the song!)
The point is that we need to get used to the idea that we are no longer truly "Earthlings." Now that we've taken the plunge, the events that will let us go, or even live, anywhere, have been set in to motion. With these first steps in to space, we have claimed our place as citizens of the universe as a whole.
This is probably my favorite 30 Seconds to Mars song. The sound and atmosphere are great, the imagery is stunning, and, being a space nerd ever since I learned to read at age three, the meaning I see in it really enthralls me.
So you wrote that comment like 3 years ago but I still feel compelled to say I disagree. :P

It's a coming of age song, its about deciding who you want to be when you enter into the world. Your time of sitting back and doing nothing has ended, its time to take charge of your life, and be who you are set out to be. I'm not sure the lyrics are palid silvered sky (are they confirmed?) I hear "balance libertine" (I have all 3 cds, and 30stm lists none of their lyrics >.<) as...

So I think they're saying come join the rest of the world, but don't lose yourself in it. People are searching for something to fulfill them, they try different ways, and some have luck in finding fulfillment while some don't. Welcome to the Universe. A welcoming of sorts. The universe not to be taken literally as space, but more of society as a whole; all its different communities and sects.
