I really think that sometimes that Geoff misleads with his song meaning explications. To me. as I try to interpret this song... is Geoff throws in all kinds of side meanings to his songs.. "We're coming to the capitol" repeats over and over and I don't really see how that relates to his friend dying. I just see it as the distance between us (the people) and those in the government and the decision makers in life. We want to make friends, they want to drop bombs and rupture walls and what not. a total stab in the dark besides what Geoff says in that interview.
