From Yesterday Lyrics
He’s a stranger to some
And a vision to none He can never get enough, Get enough of the one For a fortune he'd quit But it’s hard to admit How it ends and begins On his face is a map of the world (A map of the world) On his face is a map of the world (A map of the world) From yesterday, it’s coming! From yesterday, the fear! From yesterday, it calls him But he doesn't want to read the message here On a mountain he sits, its not of gold but of shit through the blood he can look, see the lives that he took From a count to the one He'll decide when he's done with the innocent On his face is a map of the world (A map of the world) On his face is a map of the world (A map of the world) From yesterday, it’s coming! From yesterday, the fear! From yesterday, it calls him But he doesn't want to read the message he doesn't want to read the message He doesn't want to read the message here On his face is a map of the world From yesterday, it’s coming! From yesterday, the fear! From yesterday, it calls him But he doesn't want to read the message here From yesterday, From yesterday, From yesterday, the fear From yesterday, From yesterday But he doesn't want to read the message He doesnt want to read the message he doesn't want to read the message here

i think it could be about a soldier maybe?
"He’s a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the world
For a fortune he'd quit
But it’s hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world"
but other than that i'm not too sure
maybe its talkin about the daily fear and duty of a soldier and saying its from yesturday saying here it comes again...maybe
but yes fabulous song

On a mountain he sits, its not of gold but of shit
through the blood he can look, see the lives that he took
From a count to the one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)..
the lyrics seem to point out to someone powerful.. and i guess that's what the music video was about.. you know the emperor and stuff.. i'm just guessing though.. great song..

I think that the lyrics above are mostly right except for a few lines.
I think it really just depends on how you hear it. 30 seconds to mars are probably the only ones that know the lyrics perfectly.

On a mountain, a city, not a gold, nor blood
He can learn, see the life that it turn
From the count to the one
He’s decided when he’s done with the air
i'm listening to it and i'm not really sure what it really is. anyone got the answer to this??
yeah the soldier idea sounds logical. Awesome song and quiet powerful. this album is much more artistically expressive than the last. good job 30 stm!

"On a mountain, a city, not of gold, but of shale.
Through the blood, he can learn, see the life that it took. From the count, to the one, he'll decide when he's done with the innocent."
Love the song, although the album overall is a bit disappointing. Still a very good album, just not what I expected, it's a lot more bland. I think it's about the past catching up with a soldier or someone similar who's done things they weren't especially proud of.

"On a mountain, a city, not of gold, but of silver" instead?
I've been trying to work this one out for about 2 months now and that damn verse was giving me hell...
Oh, and I'd got this bit:
"Fighting off the world all around he can pay attention"
To be:
"Fighting off the world, all around he can message you"
(Only most of the time it drops the "you")

"On a mountain he sits not on gold but when sift'd through the blood he can not see the life that he took..."
some things here don't match up...but it's a thought

Y don't these guys just save us the trouble,hehe. It's a beautiful song with a lot of feeling; once again. I like the energy of the bridge; i hope somebody understand the entirety of what i mean... (for starters that last note or the last time he says "Fighting off the world all around he can pay attention" is incredible on a whole host of different levels.

On a mountain he sits, its not of gold but of shit
through the blood he can learn, see the lives that he took
From a council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent
I thought it was pretty clear in the song.. oh well.
The song made me think of George W to be honest... ;)
But yeah.. quite fitting looking at it from the perspective of a soldier.

He’s a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one
For a fortune he'd quit
But it’s hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
On a mountain he sits, its not of gold but of shit
through the blood he can learn, see the lives that he took
From a council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message
he doesn't want to read the message
He doesn't want to read the message here
On his face is a map of the world
From yesterday, it’s coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message
He doesnt want to read the message
he doesn't want to read the message here
There, the correct lyrics :D

however here's what i think this song is about, might be way off but here goes...
i founded my interpretation that it's about a soldier as you've already said, sounds right to me.
"On his face is a map of the world"
i think this means that you can tell by his face (scars,aging etc) some of the experiences he's been through (fighting, travelling....)
"He’s a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one"
no one knows who he is and nobody gives a shit, "the one" might be a war or something.
i think pretty much the whole chorus is how war might be frightening but that's what he grew up to and it's the only thing he knows how to do.
"On a mountain he sits, its not of gold but of shit"
he doesnt get any credit for what he's done, he just does what his superiors tell him to do, and people keep bitching at him for doing it (killing ?)
"through the blood he can learn, see the lives that he took"
assuming the whole "fighting is the only thing he knows how to do" is correct, this might be him reflecting and wondering about the lives, families etc of the people he killed, how everyday people with normal lives get dragged into wars against their will and being killed
From a council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent
He ultimately decides what to do, when he's had enough of listening to his superiors and killing people that doesn't deserve it
that's it, might be way off but now don't be too harsh on me now =)

"But it's hard to admit how it ends and begins"
People don't like to admit that they began a conflict, so it's hard to admit how it begins, and people don't like admitting they're wrong, so that's the "end" part.

here it is...
On a mountain he sits, not a gold but of SIN
through the blood he can learn, see the life that it turn
From council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent

"Writing on the walls all around he can message you?" That seems more likely in that it has the correct number of syllables, but it doesn't quite sound right...in short, fuck knows what he's saying, lol.

And it's not a poiltical song, not against bush.. keep that shit out of the conversation because it has nothing to do with it.. post your opinions about bush elsewhere..
... but the lyrics here are still wrong... it's on their site...
He’s a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one
For a fortune he'd quit
But it’s hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
A map of the world
On his face is a map of the world
A map of the world
From yesterday, it’s coming
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of shit
through the blood he can look
see the lives that he took
From a count to the one
He'll decide when he’s done with the innocent
On his face is a map of the world
A map of the world
On his face is a map of the world
A map of the world
From yesterday, it’s coming
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message
But he doesn't want to read the message
I don't want want to read the message here
On his face is a map of the world
From yesterday, it’s coming
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message
He doesn't want to read the message
He doesn't want to read the message here
those are the CORRECT lyrics..
