"Let us find perfection and nonsense in all we are. Save defects for later, we're angels now"

I think this song is about living a life where you dont care what happens, where youre "happy and naive". Dont care about death just deal with that day in life.

This song makes me think of war. Specifically a war during the "Age of Disillusionment", like Vietnam or even Iraq. The chorus definately sounds like it:

"As for the dying And the fading And resolve to be Okay with the natural decay I'll choose illusion And safety a hundred times over I'm prepared to be happy and deceived I'm supposed to be happy and deceived"

Yes, I've seen an interview where Dia talks about how they feel about war and they think its just very wrong and doesn't do anything except shed innocent blood. Yeah, this song really reminds me of war

This song also reminds of a war, but this what I think the song means

"Fate leave on my doorstep A soldier, a soldier" - The fate of a soilder haunts her.

"Ever so secret I see What's in store for me" - Secrecly she's always thinking about soilder's fates.

"I won't let it mislead Oh no. No, it hasn't happened yet" - She wont let her thoughts about it refelct on her?)

"As for the dying And the fading And resolve to be" - As for the dying and fading of soilder's and resolve to be means if they havent died yet they eventually will die.

"Okay with the natural decay" - She's ok with the thought of them dying naturally but it bothers her that they will die in a fight and not naturally.

"I'll choose illusion And safety a hundred times over" - If it was up to her then she would choose being safe and staying out of the whole army fighting mess.

"I'm prepared to be happy and deceived I'm supposed to be happy and deceived" - She's prepared and sopposed to stop thinking about it?

"Let us find perfection And nonsense in all we are Save defects for later We're angels for now" - This part is talking about forgetting about the bad stuff and living life good and worry about the effects later.

"Hide my uniform pride Your arrogant side I'm aching already" - It means stop acting arrongant and stuck up and she's tired of it.

"Hide your taciturn, mundane expressions Affection will carry us a little while more" - This means to stop being so plain not caring about the sistuation cause the situation will stay for a long time.

"Let us be entertained Let me believe it ends this way" - This means to let her be enertained by the sisuation, wanting to think its not happining.

"Drop this curtain I'm happy and naive" - She wants it to end so she can be naive and happy.

yeah thats what I think of this song. My other theory of this song is about ghost of past soilder's haunting her and she's trying to make herself think it's not happining. But yeah, thats another story.
