Well, Kayla, it's a good theory, but I'm not quite convinced. Some of the things they say in the lyrcis seem to suggest an event that occurred during WWII. For example:
"This is where the Allies bombed the school, they say by mistake."
"Just another three-day foreign tour we'd never forget."
Both of which seem to suggest that the song is written from the perspective of someone else at the sight of WWII bombing sites, not necessarily themselves at Columbine (although they could be making a comparison between that event and their Columbine concert request).
@Imnotsure We, the US as well as many large allied countries have accidently bombed schools in recent years.
This is written from the point of view of a journalist who is stuck reporting on the violent terror and such throughout the world. NOT a columbine. That was an assumption in a blog and not supported by the band.
