Making ofThe 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


Up in the AirThen, 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


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.


VyRT SONGSA lyrics analysis


Northern Lights

Don’t ever take a single second to breatheThey’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 savedBut you eat your young


Northern Lights

We swam among the Northern Lights

And hid behind the edge of nightAnd waited for the dawn to

comeAnd sang a song to save us all


Northern Lights

I am alive just playing deadI’m gonna say what should have never

been saidThe giants of the world crashing

downThe end is near, hear the

trumpet sound


End of DaysI’m tired of waiting for the end of all

daysThe prophets are preachingThat the Gods need the

prayersHeadlights are coming showing me

the waySerpents are singing a song that’s

meant to say


End of Days

All we need is faith All we need is faith

Faith is all we need


End of DaysThe desert is calling

The emptiness of space

The hunger of a lion is written on your face

A maniac’s love songDestruction is his gameI found a new direction ‘Cause I had lost my way


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


City of AngelsThere was truth, there was

consequenceAgainst you, a weep defense

Then there’s me, I’m seventeenLooking for a fight

All my life I was never thereJust a ghost running scared,

Here where dreams are madeThe one.


City of AngelsLost in the city of angels

Down in the comfort of strangers I found myself in the vibrant

hillsAnd let the beauty light

Brought my faith straight from hell, second sight has paid of well


Bright LightsI’ve been dreaming of things yet to

comeLiving, learning, watching,

burning eyes on the sunI’m leaving, gone yesterday

Brutal, laughing, fighting, fucking

The price I had to pay


Bright Lights

Bright lights, big city (She dreams of love)

Bright lights, big city (He lives to run)

To run


Bright LightsDemon, where did my angel go? Faking, frapping, stupid, perfect

You are the oneA new day A new age A new face A new lay A new love A new drug A new me A new you


WitnessWitness, tell me, what you think

of my life?Judge me, jury, if I’m wrong or I’m

rightI’ve got secrets and lies that

would blow your mindYou’re the one who taught me not

to loveI’m the one who taught you to say

no


WitnessAway I goAway I goAway I go

Away I am

A ghost


Cross the lineI lost, then found Dark heart, underground

My life, insane Nothing I would changeWe’ve crossed the lineWe’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)


Overflow

I lost my directionGone in the overflow

Looking for the answers

Only time can tell


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


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


Up in the AirFrom 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?”


Up in the Air

I’ll wrap my hands around your neck so tight with love,

love
