Permalink Reply by Henry Popovic on August 25, 2012 at 12:55pm I was sure someone would have put what I think the song is about somewhere, but I can't find it.
Anyways, I believe the song is about the nuclear bomb.
"It can't be outfought,
It can't be outdone,
It can't be outmatched,
It can't be outrun"
I would say the nuclear bomb certainly applies to all those, considering it is a weapon of mass destruction.
"And when I close my eyes tonight,
To symphonies of blinding light!"
The bomb is basically made up of blinding light visually.
"Far from the world of you and I,
Where oceans bleed into the sky!"
The weapon itself is very powerful, and somewhat "beyond us". When it goes off, everything is in chaos, so oceans could "bleed into the sky" from a certain point of view.
"God save us everyone,
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns?"
This one is pretty clear. Obviously if you're going to be in a nuclear explosion, there's pretty much a 100% chance of your death, and your last straw to grasp at is praying for salvation. And generally the entire "A Thousand Suns" theme refers to the nuclear bomb, so that part is pretty straightforward.
Anyways, I'm posting this a while after the album came out, but this is the conclusion I've come to.
Permalink Reply by Brad Kurtz on October 11, 2012 at 9:36am This song has relevance to many things, but in essence, I believe it is about nuclear weapons as stated above. However I think the song also makes specific references to the dropping of nuclear bombs on Japan.
"And when I close my eyes tonight,
Two symphonies of blinding light!"
I heard it as "two symphonies." While we slept, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki the bomb went off. Perhaps this is supposed to be the idea of being responsible for the deaths of so many haunting the nightmares of people like Oppenheimer, whose quote about the bomb appears in the intro to the album: "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
"Far from the world of you and I,
Where oceans bleed into the sky!"
Japan was far from the US, so the effect we were having on them by dropping the nuke was a distant concept, happening in a "land far away" far out in the ocean.
"For the sins of our hands,
The sins of our tongues,
The sins of our fathers,
The sins of our young."
The people who were killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not directly responsible for the war; they were mostly civilians. They were being punished for the "sins" of others.
I think there are many other references to nuclear weapons, and the way the world has changed after the fear that they bring.
