God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be out fought, it can't be outdone
It can't outmatched, it can't be outrun, no
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be out fought, it can't be outdone
It can't outmatched, it can't be outrun, no
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God bless everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
God save us everyone
When we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue
The sins of our father, the sins of our young, no
God save us everyone
When we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand, the sins of our tongue
The sins of our father, the sins of our young, no
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God save us everyone
When we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns, oh
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away

Far from the world of you and I

Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be out fought, it can't be outdone
It can't outmatched, it can't be outrun, no
Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go
(And it can't be out fought, it can't be outdone)

I love Linkin Park, they are so deep, like this song, something that no one truly understands, yet this song makes sense.
Myensa
Love the song as well. The fact that it's hinting at a very dangerous future is eye-opening. Love this entire album.

The song is about the state of the USA at the beginning of the twenty first century. The nation is the only remaining global superpower, yet its citizens feel a sense of anxiety about the future as the disparity of the rich and middle/poor get wider and wider. Fading is the sense of optimism that Americans have felt in the previous decades. It is giving way to a sense of pessimism as international rivals seem to be gaining in power as time goes on.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's about the state of the world as it develops into the 21st century. With threats of nuclear war ("and when I close my eyes tonight to symphonies of blinding light"), the ineffectual push for peace all around the world leading to more war, with the sins of our actions and words ("hand... tongue"), the sins of our predecessors and our successors ("father... young"), what we have been walking into is a world in which humanity is no longer safe because all of humanity is a threat to humanities very existence. A thousand sons are warheads. It's a common metaphor; "burn[ing] inside the fires of a thousand suns" implies either a final ground-shattering war or nuclear apocalypse, and Linkin Park is attempting to warn people of this fact the way they know how. "God save us everyone" refers to everyone's equal standing in front of whatever power they believe, whether it's Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, Shinto, etc. We're all humans; we all deserve to live.
