War On War Lyrics

Cover art for War On War lyrics by Wilco

I still have no idea what this one means, but it's so catchy :) The part about learning how to die in order to really live seems to be a recurring Wilco theme. Echoes Christianity, but I suspect Tweedy is referring to any number of transforming experiences in which a person completely submits to some overwhelming force and comes out a changed person.

At any rate, I love the lyric, "You are not my typewriter/ but you could be my demon moving forward through flaming doors."
