I think this song is actually about war veterans, most of this lyrics seem to match men going off to fight in the war of terror, and coming back to a home that isn't what they were fighting for. (I have also made changes to the lyrics to what I think they should be) I’m saddling in here for the long haul Can’t hide forever is what they say In with the wind, out with a bang Meanwhile nothing has changed [Saddling in for a long haul fly to deployment, can't hide forever is describing the insurgents, "In with the wind, out with a bang" could describe missiles, Nothing has changed despite all they've done] With each word slowly uttered A storm brews in her eyes A miss shot at the buzzard Time whether wasted or well spent is still time [Speaking to his girlfriend/life about what he's doing over there, with her getting angrier with each word she says, saying it doesn't matter if he's doing a good thing or not, he's still not at home] We are not brave, we are not wise We stand at the end of the longest lines But we stand here all together We have been damned, we have survived We came back to homes we don’t recognize But we return here all together [Pretty self explanatory one you get into the mindset, soldiers coming back home, being damned for being over there, coming back to homes that aren't the same, all coming back home at the same time from deployment] The moments of clarity here are short lived Bleed through the bandages again But when is a lie, no longer white But black as a day without sun [Starting to question why they are out there, and each time it's explained it keeps them content for less, old wounds are starting to hurt, and wondering if they were lied to] Passed out in a gutter Woke up in your arms Nursed back into color The same touch that heals me Left the scar [Injured while on duty, woke up in the hospital, "The same touch that heals me Left the scar" it was government care that got him better, but its because of the government he got hurt in the first place.] We are not brave, we are not wise We stand at the end of the longest times But we stand here all together We have been damned, we have survived We came back to homes we don’t recognize But we return here all together [Same again from above chorus] And the world works in ways that I never Have claimed to know We got out and fought over the weather But it followed The view from here isn’t better But it’s all we know It’s all we know [Beginning to understand that there was some bigger plan by higher up people and it wasn't about why they came over in the first place, people have been fighting over the credibility of climate change because of the fossil fuel consumption, and people aren't changing because they are afraid] We are not brave, we are not wise We stand at the edge of the borderlines But we stand here all together We have been damned, we have survived Who we become you won’t recognize But became them all together All together [Waiting to check back into the country, still damned by their country, and no-one understands but the people who have been there] |
