When I first heard this song live, Gerard stated before playing it that "this song is about control." Having heard him say that, you can put that idea and concept into view while listening to it, and it really changes the song perspective and decodes it, almost.
Of course this decoding will be different for everyone, as any piece of music is polysemic to listeners. What this represents and means to me could be completely different for somebody else.
