You're not in this alone
Let me break this awkward silence
Let me go, go on record
Be the first to say I'm sorry
Hear me out.
when if you take me down
or would you lay me out
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now
We walk in single file
We light up rails and punch our time
Ride escalators colder than a cell
-Chorus-
This broken city sky like butane on my skin
and stolen from my eyes
Hello Angel tell me where are you
Tell me where we go from here
(Repeat)
And in this moment we can't close the lids on burning eyes
Our memories blanket us with friends we know like fallout vapor
Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun scorched and black
It reaches in and tears your flesh apart
As ice cold hands rip into your heart
That's if you've still got one that's left inside that cave you call a chest
And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now
-Chorus-
Let me break this awkward silence
Let me go, go on record
Be the first to say I'm sorry
Hear me out.
when if you take me down
or would you lay me out
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now
We walk in single file
We light up rails and punch our time
Ride escalators colder than a cell
-Chorus-
This broken city sky like butane on my skin
and stolen from my eyes
Hello Angel tell me where are you
Tell me where we go from here
(Repeat)
And in this moment we can't close the lids on burning eyes
Our memories blanket us with friends we know like fallout vapor
Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun scorched and black
It reaches in and tears your flesh apart
As ice cold hands rip into your heart
That's if you've still got one that's left inside that cave you call a chest
And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now
-Chorus-

Let's give them one more reason now
I find these lines a little problematic. What do they mean? Who is he addressing? Is he being political? It seems like a call to arms to fight the terrorists or somethign.
When he says "Let me go on record, Be the first to say I'm sorry" is he apologising for the western worlds oppression of other countries that led to things like the 9/11 attacks? or something else? Because that seems a little at odds with the later line "let's give them one more reason", it sounds like he's encouraging people to meet aggression with aggression. which is quite an unfashionable thing these days, what with all the political fallout the 9/11 attacks had (Iraq etc), but then this was written close to the actual attack so he can be forgiven for being a little emotional. I don't know.
Gerard has said it himself many times, he wrote the song just after the 911 all on his thoughts about the 911.
Are we clear now?
:D
