In this song, Tom uses a physical war as a metaphor for a personal war, which I have to say is genius, because I've never ever heard of anyone doing something like that. That was sarcasm. Tom Delonge is a stupid egotistical retard who now thinks he's a legitimate artist. ------------------- http://www.freewebs.com/thejakesite

Jakebert MAKES A GOOD POINT. PHYSICAL WAR IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THEN PERSONAL WAR, AND THE TWO SHOULD NEVER BE COMPARED METAPHORICALLY. THIS IS NOT ABOUT IRAQ ITS ABOUT D-DAY. TOM HAS ADMITTED THAT HE HAS AN INTEREST IN WWII AND IT IS OBVIOUS HERE. "The ocean is on fire, the sky turned dark again as the boats came in.And the beaches, streched out with soldiers, with their arms and guns it has just begun." *watch SAVING PRIVATE RYAN*

I was in a chatroom interview with Tom, someone asked about "The War" and he responded: "The war represented a conflict in every person's life and the idea of having faith and the ability to overcome anything if you have faith and believe in it." Amazing.

Great song, one of my favorites. It's about someone who'se close to a soldier, and they're hoping and praying that their soldier comes home alive. Tom's brother is fighting in Iraq so its about him.
