Guster – Lightning Rod Lyrics 16 years ago
I believe it is about war as well. The honest soldier being the lightning rod for our country, standing in the ,"boiling clouds" and getting hit randomly like soldiers do. Also notice how his description of the soldier changes from "return the honest soldier" to "remain the honest soldier" adding a sense of finality and fatality. As a deployded soldier myself I can empathise as he seems to moan the word home.
