I see this song as a conversation between the American leaders and Al Queda.
"Tell me would you kill, to save a life?" This is Al Queda asking the westernised countries would they kill their terrorist group for the sake of saving the lives of their own.
"Tell me would you kill, yto prove you're right?" This is the westernised leaders asking them if they would kill for the sake of what they believe in... to prove to everyone that they are right about what they believe in.
"crash, crash, burn. let is all burn. This hurricane's chasing us all underground." Jared is basically saying here that were are in a vicious circle ("hurricane") they we cannot get out of. we are running round in circles trying to find the answer to make everyone happy with their beliefs... but while these westernised countries are trying to keep the peace, everything is crashing and burning around us (eg 9/11, 7/7, going to war in afghan...)
"where is your God?" this could be both sides asking that question. the westernised leaders could be asking them where is their god to prove they are right about what they are saying? where is their god to show them they will go to paradise when they carry out their plans (suicide bombing). but they could be asking the westerns where is their god to look after them while they are attacking them?
"do you really want me dead or alive to torture for my sins?" they are asking the westerns... do they want to killthe terrorists, or keep them alive and torutre them for their sins first... this was definitly questionable during the capture of bin laden and sadam hussain.
I dont know.... I think im pretty on key with this... would be nice to know what you think about my interpretation anyways :)
@EllieElectriic In that conversation between the American leaders and Al Queda, how do you explain this verses:
@EllieElectriic In that conversation between the American leaders and Al Queda, how do you explain this verses:
"The promises we made were not enough
The prayers that we had prayed were like a drug
The secrets that we sold were never known
The love we had, the love we had, we had to let it go, oh"

@EllieElectriic that's a very interesting interpretation. I like it a lot!
Maybe this is a long shot, and it's just my interpretation, but to me "Kings and Queens" is about Native Americans and their history/legacy. That and the eagle call at the beginning makes me think of nature which then reminded me of Native Americans and Eagles in their art. Idk. Take from this what you will. I think "Hurricane" can have more than one meaning but I definitely like yours. Have a nice day. :)
