Well since it's been failed to have been mentioned so far, it should be acknowledged that the song is based off of the book "A Fairwell To Arms" by Ernest Hemmingway. The Song uses symbols from the book and is basically about the sacrifices of war and questioning if they are worth what in turn becomes lost.
Hemmingway's books seem to have a great effect on songwriters since this is his third novel to be converted into a song (the first two being "For Whom The Bell Tolls" & "The Thing That Should Not Be")
I really enjoy this song and it is definately one of my favorites on the album and it is a great way to end a nearly perfect record. Hopefully they'll play this song when i see them in January.
