It's about how we go through life trying to do great things and screwing up.
"These machines feed on the tears of broken lives and dying dreams"
Other people profit from your failure. If you're thinking politically, we die to keep others alive, but what do those we keep alive become?
"You can lead me to the bloodbath
But you can’t make me drink"
We all have to try hard to make our own paths. Again, thinking politically, shouldn't we be learning from mistakes instead of repeating them in wars. We can't just follow someone else's plans and footsteps, we'll gain nothing. No one will gain anything except the "machines"
That's what it means to me. I think it can be a very political song if you think about it.
