Lyric discussion by Desaparecida 

I just heard this song for the first time ever, and I loved it pretty much instantaneously.

And I'm pretty sure the line is, "On a mountain he sits, not of gold, but of shit." Because there's a rhyme pattern there, you see it? Sin doesn't fit the rhyme pattern... sorry...

I just love the line, "On his face is a map of the world"... it's so lovely.

As for the meaning, people have been saying it's a soldier, and I guess that could be right...but maybe it could be just about anybody in general, maybe somebody who went through a tough life. It doesn't really specifically HAVE to be a soldier... maybe the killing is a metaphor, or something... I'm not really sure, I haven't listened to it enough to really get a good beat on it.

And by the way, just what exactly was the plot of the video? I found it quite confusing, and not only because I was ogling Jared Leto the whole time.... ^_~
