Cover art for The Kill lyrics by 30 Seconds to Mars

This song is actually (got this from the actual artist) about the process of losing your mind. The video shows intense unrealistic hallucinations that are due to them losing site of reality. The song is about someone who has indeed tried to change but in the process has lost it. And when it comes down to it. The person is battling within his own mind against someone who is not real. The band explains this song to be the process of someone losing all sites of reality and going crazy. The kill explains that the person who cannot differ between what is real and fiction within his own mind and its killing him. Whether it be suicide or just the loss of his mind.
