I think this is a song about the struggle of the human spirit to stay alive. I imagine this soldier going into this conflict with these romantic views of war and battle not realizing the brutality and the savagery that slowly takes over. His descent into this very animalistic mindset (I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste/Of the blood on my lips, again) is a poison that he eventually embraces, knowing that he will never forget what he's seen, the men that died, the things he has had to do. And in the end he only has what's left of someone's eyes, their face. Who they were to him is a mystery now, a memory long forgotten. But they are etched into his brain, watching, judging, and he will never know if he will see them again. It makes no difference. His shattered soul just pulls him forward, the basic survival instinct the only feeling that moves him anymore. |
