Making of The fourth album was recorded during 2012, after the end of the massive world tour supporting “This is War” The band has come up with a new direction and has experimented new sounds. In 2011, Tomo said “Night of the Hunter” was in line with what the future would sound like In April 2012, Jared played some of the new tracks on VyRT. It was the first time Tomo and Shannon heard then too Echelon Conference London 2013

Up in the Air Then, the first single “Up in the Air” was released and the world came crashing down. Since it debuted, March 18th, criticism has hit hard. Some Echelon LOVE the new sound – which reminisces on Search & Destroy and Closer to the Edge in it’s upbeat – and some Echelon HATE it. People have announced they are leaving the fandom because they don’t like this (R)EVOLUTION Lyric video surpassed one million views on YouTube one week after its release Echelon Conference London 2013

Up in the Air “The recorded version is a big, huge, fun, energetic Thirty Seconds to Mars song and we’re so incredibly proud of it. We hope you guys love it. It’s called “Up in the Air” and it’s the first song we’ve confirmed the title to.” Jared Leto during VyRT: The Mars Lab So, he warned us. Echelon Conference London 2013

VyRT SONGS A lyrics analysis Echelon Conference London 2013

Northern Lights Don’t ever take a single second to breathe They’re gonna send me on a murdering spree I cannot wait to dance upon your grave They don’t even have a soul left to be saved But you eat your young Echelon Conference London 2013

Northern Lights We swam among the Northern Lights And hid behind the edge of night And waited for the dawn to come And sang a song to save us all Echelon Conference London 2013

Northern Lights I am alive just playing dead I’m gonna say what should have never been said The giants of the world crashing down The end is near, hear the trumpet sound Echelon Conference London 2013

End of Days I’m tired of waiting for the end of all days The prophets are preaching That the Gods need the prayers Headlights are coming showing me the way Serpents are singing a song that’s meant to say Echelon Conference London 2013

End of Days All we need is faith Faith is all we need Echelon Conference London 2013

End of Days The desert is calling The emptiness of space The hunger of a lion is written on your face A maniac’s love song Destruction is his game I found a new direction ‘Cause I had lost my way Echelon Conference London 2013

Both songs are dark, almost triumphant in reverse. They mix their heart’s darkness with social criticism and a sense of destruction, overcomed by what ultimately saves us all – music and faith. The lyrics seem simpler on this album. Not in any way less meaningful Echelon Conference London 2013

City of Angels There was truth, there was consequence Against you, a weep defense Then there’s me, I’m seventeen Looking for a fight All my life I was never there Just a ghost running scared, Here where dreams are made The one. Echelon Conference London 2013

City of Angels Lost in the city of angels Down in the comfort of strangers I found myself in the vibrant hills And let the beauty light Brought my faith straight from hell, second sight has paid of well Echelon Conference London 2013

Bright Lights I’ve been dreaming of things yet to come Living, learning, watching, burning eyes on the sun I’m leaving, gone yesterday Brutal, laughing, fighting, fucking The price I had to pay Echelon Conference London 2013

Bright Lights Bright lights, big city (She dreams of love) Bright lights, big city (He lives to run) To run Echelon Conference London 2013

Bright Lights Demon, where did my angel go? Faking, frapping, stupid, perfect You are the one A new day A new age A new face A new lay A new love A new drug A new me A new you Echelon Conference London 2013

Witness Witness, tell me, what you think of my life? Judge me, jury, if I’m wrong or I’m right I’ve got secrets and lies that would blow your mind You’re the one who taught me not to love I’m the one who taught you to say no Echelon Conference London 2013

Witness Away I go Away I am A ghost Echelon Conference London 2013

Cross the line I lost, then found Dark heart, underground My life, insane Nothing I would change We’ve crossed the line My heart on fire No love, just desire. My life, insane, nothing I would change We’ve crossed the line (never coming back) We’ve crossed the line (never coming back) Echelon Conference London 2013

Overflow I lost my direction Gone in the overflow Looking for the answers Only time can tell Echelon Conference London 2013

Biographic much? Jared let’s us inside is own personal history and feelings. How Los Angeles became his home, building him up and tearing him down over and over again. “Bright lights” might be one of the most beautifil and emotional songs MARS have ever released. Watch out, Alibi. “Witness” was praised after VyRT. Not sure it made it into the album Echelon Conference London 2013

Wanna know something interesting? They cut out some lyrics from “Up in the Air” Echelon Conference London 2013

Up in the Air From VyRT: “ I’ve been up in the air, out of my head. Stuck in a moment of emotion I distroyed Is this the end I feel? Up in the air, fucked up on life I can remember your surrender cut like a knife Is this the end?” Echelon Conference London 2013

Up in the Air I’ll wrap my hands around your neck so tight with love, love Echelon Conference London 2013
