  My Interpretation:Someone should put the romaji up
  It is: mochi agete, tokihanashite
  
  If you do translate it, the literal translations are: mochi - hold, agete - all, tokihanashite - release.
  Now i know it is 'lift me up, let me go' but the best aspect of a concept album, let alone music, is that we can perceive them any way we wish.
  So my interpretation is that we have everything as a well functioning civilisation, but we're letting it go and compromising them by conflict.
  
  Just putting it out there, the interlude is just mesmerising. I can listen to it for days. Definitely one of my favourties in the album.

  General Comment:yes, i agree with you guys and i want to add that it's one of the 6 songs in a thousand suns album which are little and are used just to make an atmosphere. that's why a thousand suns is a concept album.

  General Comment:Also would like to add that the song title is a reference to Jornada Del Muerto, a desert in New Mexico where the first atomic bomb testing was held. The lyrics are in Japanese to comply with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
  
  Another hidden little tid-bit fact that has to do with the concept.

    OMG!! I didn't even touch the translator and i figured out the lyrics were 'lift me up, let me go.' Because I know Linkin Park likes to have these short tracks in their albums that normally refer to other songs on the same album. On the song 'The Catalyst' he repeats the lines 'lift me up, let me go' and i noticed that Mike was repeating two lines over in this song and in the same sort of way as he does in 'The Catalyst.'
