Linkin Park: Iridescent Meaning

Song Released: 2011

Iridescent Lyrics

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
With the cataclysm raining down
Your insides crying, "Save me now"
You were there, impossibly alone.

Do you feel cold and lost in...

   I think the song is about a person who is going through a self destructive period of life 'You were standing in the wake of devastation' and this is due to their 'failures'
   
   the song is telling them to 'Let it go' because if they don't they won't mend.
   
   I also think that when mike sings 'And in a burst of life that blinded every angel' it symbolizes new life because it could be representative of the big bang 'sky had blown the heavens into stars'
   
   I am not saying this is the offical meaning behind the song. it is just my interpretation of the lyrics of a brilliant song

   this song is telling us about the doomsday of the earth. there is nothing can hold on to. the phrase : "You build up all the failures, all you've known.
   Remember all the sadness and frustration
   And let it go."
   means that you realized that you have made a mistake in your whole life but, you wants to relive back as the way before and did not want to make any sins anymore.
   the phrase : "And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
   As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
   You felt the gravity of tempered grace
   Falling into empty space
   With no one there to catch you in their arms."
   means that when everything you see in the doomsday, it is like the mother earth has raged and throwing all single life in the earth away.

   I believe this song is about everything bad in your life, coming to haunt you. You can never live in the present instead of the past. Since you ARE living in the past...You're utterly depressed and try not to cry over what HAD happened, but you do. This song says you SHOULD live in the present. You SHOULD let go of your past. You SHOULD never forget, but also never let it bother you. Some people think living in the past is the only option, but it's not. If you let it go...You'll have a happier life...

   Best song of this album.It means that a person should not be hopless and always try to think an idea to forget the past.This all makes a person confident to bear pain.
