Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques

	To be honest i don't think this song is about a relationship ending or something around those lines at all. People assume 30 Seconds to Mars is one of those bands that sing of relationships, but they really don't. Take the kill for example, people think it is about someone telling someone its over and its hurting them etc, but its really about a battle with one's inner self, as the lead singer, Jared, stated to the press. I'm not too sure what this song is about but i know for sure it is not about a relationship.

	I luv this song!It is amazing>xand jared leto is so sexy!

	I get the feeling a relationship is ending, of course. But I think he liked the relationship, loved it even. I think maybe she changed or stopped loving him, ending the relationship. He still loves her, but can't stand not being with her. He has to kill a part of himself off (And I know what I should do/Its time to set myself on fire). Even though he knows it has to be over, he still wishes it was alive, he was so happy in the relationship that he wonders if it was real or not, if maybe it was a dream. But it can't be, because he has the photograph of them together.

	Everyone sayys the relationship is ending but I say its already over....he thinks about it....and he realizes everything he loved was over, everything was a fake, so thats why he asks if everything was a dream cause the only evidence he has of what happened is a photograph....no feelings, nothing else!! You should comment more since this is an awesome song!

No Picture Johannes Wanna Be	#5 by Johannes e at Sep 27, 2007 at 8:56 PM EST
	do any of u ppl realize the lyrics are wrong one critical part is missing...... 30 SECONDS TO MARS LYRICS "Was It A Dream?" Your defenses were on high Your walls built deep inside Yeah I'm a selfish bastard But at least I'm not alone My intentions never change What I wanted stays the same And I know what I should do it's time to set myself on fire Was it a dream? Was it a dream? Is this the only evidence that proves it A photograph of you and I Your reflection I've erased Like a thousand burned out yesterdays Believe me when I say goodbye forever Is for good Was it a dream? Was it a dream? Is this the only evidence that proves it A photograph of you and I Was it a dream? Was it a dream? Is this the only evidence that proves it A photograph of you and I (A photograph of you and I) Was it a dream? Was it a dream? Is this the only evidence that proves it A photograph of you and I A photograph of you and I A photograph of you and I... in love...

No Picture Christian Wanna Be	#6 by Christian Chavez at Sep 29, 2007 at 5:53 PM EST
	this is about a relationship that has ended and he tried so hard to forget everything that now when he thinks about the relationship he can't remember if it ever really happened at all... and the only reason he knows that it had to have been real is because he has a picture to prove it... that's what i get from it... this could be included in the soundtrack of my life... cuz i definitly relate to this song

No Picture murderotica&tra Rhythm Player	#7 by murderotica™ at Sep 30, 2007 at 7:09 AM EST
	I think maybe it was a great relationship that suddenly and unexpectedly ended, and all that is left is a photograph(maybe a metaphor for a memory even). He is unsure of whether or not it really happened because it seemed too perfect til it all went away

No Picture Kane Average	#8 by Kane Timson at Sep 30, 2007 at 4:15 PM EST
	One of the weaker songs on the album.

No Picture Hey Retard Wanna Be	#9 by Hey Retard at Sep 30, 2007 at 8:24 PM EST
	yeah the kill can't possibly be about a relationship.....even the music video shows that

No Picture Jamie Wanna Be	#10 by Jamie Smith at Oct 1, 2007 at 4:15 AM EST
	I agree with docpostal to an extent, it's just the first line "Your defenses were on high Your walls built deep inside Yeah I'm a selfish bastard But at least I'm not alone" Seems like he's feeling guilty about something and maybe doesn't feel like he deserves to be with her but he stays anyways to kill off the lonely ness, but later in the song he leaves her "Believe me when I say goodbye forever Is for good" He's telling her that beleive him, cause it's over for good this time, there's no going back, the song is very vague and open for your own meaning.

No Picture adrian Average	#11 by adrian zamora at Oct 1, 2007 at 12:00 PM EST
	As much as I think you all have good insight toward this song, I happen to know none of you are correct. I heard a live version of this song where Jared introduced it, and he said he wrote this song while in Africa, and it talks about the beauty that he saw, while also seeing the failure of humanity with everything going on around there. A pretty powerful piece, and definitely one of my favorite 30 stm songs.

No Picture Justin Wanna Be	#12 by Justin Kenney at Oct 1, 2007 at 10:21 PM EST
	this can be about the time everything was normal, when they weren't popular... this is one of my favorite.

No Picture Matt Average	#14 by Matt Wirta at Oct 3, 2007 at 2:42 AM EST
	to me this song is about being with someone and knowing that things are completely over. like he doesnt want her anymore...but he's wondering if being with her was a dream you know proving that there really was a connection there...but he doesnt want her anymore..and hes saying that when he says its over and goodbye is forever he's meaning the realtionship is over..hes erased her from his mind completely just knowing he did that he's wondering "was it a dream is this the only evidence that proves a photograph of you and i" such a beauitful song

No Picture ian Average	#15 by ian mckinly at Oct 3, 2007 at 4:57 PM EST
	no photograph,no proof anything happend. of course,a relationship is ending... i think jared took too much nyquill,and couldnt remember if it was all a dream,or reality.

No Picture Hey Retard Wanna Be	#16 by Hey Retard at Oct 4, 2007 at 10:16 AM EST
	protect me even though i don't deserve it and i don't like you, but i can't forget you, was it real or a dream?

No Picture Albert Wanna Be	#17 by Albert Piccolomini at Oct 4, 2007 at 11:51 AM EST
	I can relate to this song, me and my ex broke up because she cheated on me and I will never forgive her for it, I have gotten over her and everytime I see her picture I get sick to my stomach. Back when we broke up I thought it was a dream and it wasn't.

No Picture Dany Average	#18 by Dany Meyerink at Oct 5, 2007 at 1:17 AM EST
	Ohhh! I

No Picture jake Rhythm Player	#19 by jake lee at Oct 5, 2007 at 4:12 AM EST
	This song cops Prayers For Rain by The Cure pretty badly. At least Jared doesn't deny it. 1
