Breaking Benjamin – Unknown Soldier Lyrics 13 years ago
I think the line
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white,
refers to how soldier's perspectives on things change. I realized early on when I went to war that the enemy is only my enemy. I am my enemy's enemy. I think hes "bad" and I'm "good", and he thinks the same from his perspective. I soon started to realize if two people can think the opposite thing is "good" then there really is no such thing as good or bad, black or white. Cut and dry distinctions don't exist. That extrapolates to everything in life and makes it much more depressing of a life.

He has realized this same thing and wants to go back to the simpler perspective of things being either black or white, good or bad, righteous or evil.
