It wakes me up and shakes my bones
It makes me miss my friends
You wated days, I hung my head
I wore these blinders
So I'll hide from you
You can hear the sound
When walls break down
You wasted my days
Building on shaky ground
You can't carry on
When walls break down
Such wasted days
Building on shaky ground
Sitting face-to-face, tides will rise
Our light is in your eyes
We will be heard, our voice is strong
You shamed yourself
And we're done with you
This is your life you led
This is my life you bled
These tides sweep us out of reach
It makes me miss my friends
You wated days, I hung my head
I wore these blinders
So I'll hide from you
You can hear the sound
When walls break down
You wasted my days
Building on shaky ground
You can't carry on
When walls break down
Such wasted days
Building on shaky ground
Sitting face-to-face, tides will rise
Our light is in your eyes
We will be heard, our voice is strong
You shamed yourself
And we're done with you
This is your life you led
This is my life you bled
These tides sweep us out of reach

To say that the song is about the war seems like a bit of a stretch to me.
I thought the song was much more obviously about the end of a relationship, not necessarily romantic, though.
I think clues like the 'We' references make it sound like perhaps a friend betrayed them in some way.
I also think the references to destruction and violence are merely metaphorical, a way to portray his mental anguish in more vivid and real way.
