These are just basic thoughts and opinions
Audience of One...The one being George W Bush.
"As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement"
-The election of George W Bush
"We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears"
-Everything was fine for awhile the shit started to go down
"We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons
But even then we should have stayed"
-Those who voted for him decided they made a huge mistake. They are rethinking it and they know its too late.
The next verse Im still thinking about.
"I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness a name"
-I think its basically the fact that a soldier may have killed someone and was expecting praise maybe afterwards but all he felt was emptiness,depression, and regret.
"We’re all ok, until the day we’re not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on"
-I think it means We act like it was all okay when we know for a fact that it isnt. We may live a perfectly normal life when on the inside we're in pain. We thought we stopped the chaos when we know its still happening.
but the part when he says, "i brought down the sky for you, but all you did was shrug"
i think its about how much people trusted him, and he screwed everything up. and he didnt care about how everyone felt afterwards

" we're all ok, until the day we're not
The suface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset, and we almost won
We slammed the breaks, but the wheels went on"

i think he's talking about how people thought he was going to help...
i think he's talking about how people thought he was going to help us... and they thought he was a really good person, but inside he was really wasn't. He made promises to us, but he broke them. now he has nobody to blame but himself
You nailed it tw15ted. Though a powerful song like this can be open to many interpretations (the relationship theme being one of the most common), I have no doubt they had politics in their minds when they wrote this one.

Just watch the video closely and you'll notice the little boy with big ears (W.) playing with soldiers surrounded by secret service agents. Could it be a little less self explanatory? Good job.
