i agree with everyones concept on this song. but i think you guys are thinking to small. i read an article about linkin parks new album having references to 2012 and the apocalypic destruction of our planet. "http://www.reviewrinserepeat.com/artist/linkin-park/album/a-thousand-suns/review" thats the article there in the quotes. i think this song is talking about the upcomming doomsday as not the end or the beginning. after this destruction we will be living in pain and fear, pain from the great losses we all will experience and fear from fear of the unknown. no one knows what its like to live without our technologies and gizmos and such. we are too attached. "What was left when that fire was gone I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on" the word fire can easily stand for the destruction. fire is a destructive force. later they mention picking up the pieces, the remnants of the chaos and destruction. needing to find a way to move on from "the end" which is the hardest part. starting our civilization over again.

My Interpretation

i agree with you, but i think the catalyst fits better with your doomsday description. imo this song is about an inner struggle, like when they say "We say yeah with fists flying up in the air", i think "air" is the fight in his mind, "What was left when that fire was gone,", its like a fight between good and evil, or between two universal forces, I felt that while viewing the video, you know the blue and red, or maybe its the other way around "I thought it felt right but that right was wrong"... When the "fight" ends,("It's...

I think the concept of "knowing what it takes to move on" indicates the processs of ascension into the next dimension. apperently the 3rd Dimension is only a stepping stone to the next dimnesion where we belong.

it also could be lyrical Genious like many artists, and they could be meaning to trigger the emotions of relationship endings and other interpretations. ive found this with a few of their songs, atmopshere is also a great candidate for implaying different meanings within one song.
