Attack
30 Seconds to Mars · A Beautiful Lie [2005]
be broken,
get tired,
or wasted,
surrender to nothing,
or give up.
What I started and stopped it from end to beginning.
A new day is coming,
and I am finally free.
Run away, run away,
I'll attack.
Run away, run away,
go chase yourself.
Run away, run away now,
I'll attack, I'll attack, I'll attack.
I would of kept you forever,
but we had to sever.
It ended for both of us faster than a--
Kill off this thinking,
it's starting to sink in.
I'm losing control now,
and without you,
I can finally see.
Your promises,
they look like lies.
Your honesty,
like a back that has a knife.
I promise you,
I promise you..
I am finally free.
Attack
Attack stands as a defining track from 30 Seconds to Mars' breakthrough album, A Beautiful Lie. Released in 2005, the song helped propel the band into mainstream rock prominence, showcasing their signature blend of alternative rock and post-grunge intensity. The recording captures the group's evolving sound during a pivotal era, moving away from their debut's experimental textures toward a more polished, anthemic style. As part of a catalogue that would later include the expansive This Is War, this track exemplifies the band's ability to craft emotionally charged, stadium-ready rock. The song remains a staple of their live performances, reflecting the high-energy dynamics that characterize their broader discography and enduring influence on the genre.
