What is the meaning of the song Jars by Chevelle?

Answer 1

The meaning can be inturperated in many ways. The most common is talking of Saving the earth, from where it says "Oil that taste like blood, Stole the summer scent" Is referring to oil spills, or the most recent oil spill that was so tragic to our waters, our environment, only causing more harm. Also where it says "We can't both become the same pawn that's made to fall" meaning if we both become careless of this earth, and fail at saving what's left in our humanity, in our world, then it will all end, yet if we were different we could do something now before it all comes crashing down. (We could help save Earth)

And the whole song title "Jars" also relates to the lyrics of The jars and saving earth, just means if you preserve earth in every area of it, we could make it out of this cracked up life alive. I think if you put the other song lyrics together, you can see the meanings of it more clearly. But overall this song is coming together to safe our earth while its still possible.
