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 sin
Through the blood he can learn,
See the life that he turns
From a council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/30_seconds_to_mars/from_yesterday.html ]
Oh his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
Oh 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 doesn't want to read the message here
He doesn't want to read the message here!
I think it's about like, what you've done in the past, affects your future. Like when they say "from yesterday the fear"
i think they're talking about how he doesn't want to face the fact that he can stop whats going on. Like if my friend told me their dad was abousing them, i could call the police and stop it. So taking resonsibility for your actions and relizing that god has a perpous for you, and that you have to live up to it. Idk, thats just what it means to me.
I agree with jamie loves dylan- he is hot and has an amazing voice!!! More to the point.. I think this is about how what you do in the past, can effect your future and will bring back memories, fear. I think it is about a killer or murderer "not of gold but of sin" or "through blood he can learn" or "he'll decide when he's done with the inocent" and this fear that is returning could be that people might discover what he really is
In my opinion this is a sang about a veteran soilder who has changed due to him many battlers in the past and trys to get over his past but it keeps catching back up with him. "through the blood he can learn, see the lives that he turned". And the map of the world is his past battles he has fought all around the world. But knowing it is scaring his body and even his life, he can't get enough of it because it make him feel like he is making a difference. "he can never get enough get enough of the one". And i think the "message" might be the fact that he needs to stop for his own sake. But he doesn't want to because he feels that is all he has left.
Jared leto is so freekin hot and i love his voice... I also love this song bc it has a good meaning and i think more ppl think that it should deserve a higher,popular rating just lyk 30 seconds to mars... :)
I kinda go on with lunajadetree. I think it's about how what you've done in your past affects you. "from yesterday, it's coming! From yesterday, the fear! From yesterday, it calls him
but he doesn't want to read the message here. "
its like, things from his past are calling him back.
In a a sense lunajadetree is right but for a song like this there could be many different meanings for this song, like what happens in your past may come back to haunt you but maybe that only happens depending on what has been done to cause that situation. Or any other views you may have but do see where lunajadetree is coming from
Jared leto is a great singer, and he looks so cute, his eyes are beautiful... It's probably their best song, althought their other songs are great 2 ;) i agree with lunajadetree and asmodean, i think they might be right :p
I think that this song is basically about how there is just too much pressure and there's so many things going on with this person. Like when he says "on his face is a map of the world" basically sounds like there's just a lot of pressure. Then when he says "from yesterday its coming" well tells me that well maybe he's trying to forget everything and he can't forget it keeps coming back everything and trying to forget is putting on pressure.
