So, from what I can guess, I'd say this is about the war on terror and our situation worldwide as a country and super power. And saying how we should probably hold on to what makes our world a unique one by preserving what is peacefull before its too late because its unraveling fast. Also about the government exercising self control.
Hold on to chance, Lest we bleed ourselves- We're pushing our luck and losing numnbers in the war.
Then save for the pets, they're the lonliest- The pets are the soldiers? Who are lonely because of the situation? Maybe??? haha
Put into jars, we'll save this earth- Try to hold on what makes our world good in the midst of a shit storm.
We can't both become the same pawn that's made to fall- (I'm not sure about this one) Possibly saying
the military is designed to be expendable.
Oil that tastes like, blood that steals the summer's scent- The bloodshed of war is on people's minds and detracting from what summer is supposed to be, a nice, leisurely, vacation-like time. Even in "peace time" it still eats at people. And the oil was taken at a price.
From me to you, your stabbing me through you, you're stabbing you through him- The government and "getting the job done" at what ever costs. Even if it means the actions put other's lives at stake.
And betting most of this world, we'll add enough of the world- The government(?) puts the world at stake with there actions. It's important to remember the world in it's beauty to preserve it in a "jar" for viewing and memories.
Steal form yourselves, it never felt so good, And feed from their hands, confuse by opposites- We're slurring the bounds of stealing and recieving. Also, yourselves may be refering to the fact that we are a universal mankind, and to steal from someone, you're stealing from yourself. (Oil?)
Put into jars,keep safe this earth- Before the world kills itself,take part of it to guard and preserve.
Feeling manic for a day, depends on the trends, depends on the surface, if the sun never sets- The sun setting may be a metaphor for the war ending. The public viewpoint (like gas prices and the stock market and things the public sees) will be the ultimate say if the war is over.
This world, we’ll add enough of the world, is the main thing you’ll shout, till the bitter end- Kind of like an "I told you so" deal?
Yaaaa, that's what I pulled from it. But this is why I love CheVelle so much. Every song can be intrepreted differently by everone. And does anyone else LOVE the fact that the bass is so much more sudible in "Jars?" I love CheVelle.
( P.S. I'm not some kid trying to give my political views.This is just what makes sense to me. I'm not saying this is right, and the only way to interpret this song.)
I think you're right on man. To add something, "we can't booth become the same pawn that's meant to fall".

I've got a thought on that. I think he's saying we can't all just do as were told and become expendable. If we all do that, then we'll all be gone before long. I think he's basically saying people need to speak up and act. It's time we all stop being pawns and letting everything we know change and even vanish in front of us because of greed and a thirst for power. I think it all comes together on the second verse.
Steal from yourselves...and so on. I think you're on track there too. Overall I agree with what you've said here. Chevelle seems to be going in a more political direction with this album, and I for one like it.
