The Echelon - Commentary

The echelon
It's a place where people make friendships
They make creative things, they make art
They share things with one another
Ah, so it's a name for this container
For this group of people

Ah, and ah, you know we always had a very
Committed, passionate, loyal, following, uhm
I hate to even use that word, but the community, I should say
Around what we do
And I, I've never thought for 30 Seconds to Mars
From the very beginning I always thought about community
I always thought about that other person in the band
Which is everybody else, right?

I never thought about just as music
Or even just as a band
I was like this is a great place to make art
This is a great place to make music
To do design works, to direct films
You know, go on tour, play shows
Limitless possibilities

Ah, and it's been exactly that
And I think other people have found that, too
Oh, this is a place where I can belong
This is a place I can create
This is a place I can find friendship
This is a place I can believe and be believed in
So, you know, its a really pure, simple and wonderful, a, thing
That idea
