Has anyone else noticed that Elliott adds some military jargon into some of his songs??? There's the reference to "an army man with an order just to march in my place" and, "The reflection in the water showed and iron man still trying to salute, people from a time he was everything he was supposed to be." From Everything Means Nothing to Me. Clearly, I listen to Elliott too much to pick up on these things, but I think there are more references to being a washed up army man in other songs as well. Maybe he's using it as a metaphor for his life being more or less a war that he's tired of fighting.
