The main theme of this song is freedom. This song is about being controlled by somebody and breaking free from it.

The song does not have some hidden evil meaning, and it is not about a relationship. You might describe The Kill as a song about a relationship, but it is one with yourself.

Anyways, it is about breaking free of people that judge and critize you, and showing them what you can be.

"Fuck the non believers"-They said it themselves.

Videos have nothing to do with the song. This band says themselves that there is no exact meaning for their songs. This one is about freedom. But can be taken on different levels, this is not a typical song about a girlfriend/boyfriend thing.

I agree with anonymous, but all the other theories are good too. The song in fact is about freedom.

Jared says himself, but what lyrics gives this away?

I won't suffer, be broken, get tired, or wasted, surrender to nothing or give up what I started....and I am finally free.

to be free is to not give anything of yourself away or surrender to anything or anyone.

Anyone who said that this song is about freedom is absolutely correct, but more specifically, it's about not relying on anyone or anything.

"I would have kept you, forever, but we had to sever"

"I'm losing control now, and without you I can finally see"

"Your promises, they look like lies
Your honesty, like a back that hides a knife (knife)
I promise you (promise you)
I promise you (promise you)
And I am finally free"

All of these lines refer to someone or something Jared Leto has "freed" himself from. He is stressing individual thought, self-reliance, non-comformation. Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best, "To be great is to be misunderstood." Leto has basically taken these words and run with them.
