Cover art for I Better Be Quiet Now lyrics by Elliott Smith

"had a dream as an army man with an order just to march in my place but a dead enemy screams in my face"

i agree with makeartnotmath. the lines above make me think of having a life in order with the same routine and then a someone becomes part of your life and when they are no longer in your life you cannot be your self or live without them. all you see and think about are the memories of you and this person."but a dead enemy screams in my face"
