Well, yeah, I do believe it is about missing someone.
The song gives off an impression of two people who knew each other very well. I don’t think they engaged in fights like the ones we normally depict in our minds, but rather they challenged each other (not necessarily to prove superiority, but to introduce a new way to look at something). They were both individuals unlike everyone who were alike in that manner, but they constantly challenged each other because well, each had a creative way of thinking.
She misses being subjected to a new idea or being proved wrong. “I want to be wrong but
No one here wants to fight me like you do”.
They were rebellious. And when I say rebellious, I don’t mean like the “let’s do drugs-let’s be anarchists-let’s blow shit up” type thing. They did things together that others wouldn’t normally take pleasure out of.
Hence the line:
“Get back in town, I wanna paint it black…”
I’m not suggesting that she wants to literally paint the town black. But the speaker in the song wants that person back in order to have fun again and do something crazy. Everyone around is probably dull and lacks vitality and they’re “faux punk fatigues”. If the other person was around they could “fight off the lethargy”.
I mean, I don’t know…maybe I’ve just been listening to it too much lately. Or it could be that’s nearly 2 in the morning and I lack caffeine.
most definately this is what the song is about. like, in my mind, i see a group of people that would have really heated intelligent debates, both testing the limits of their minds, and one day, for whatever reason, the "combat baby" leaves, perplexing his ex-lover, who is lost pining the diversity he brought to her life, even if it wasn't the healthiest.
