I started listening to this song when I was reading a book about the Australian Light Horse's charge at the Nek on Gallipoli, lots of blokes getting killed, dying in thier mates arms, running knowingly to their deaths into machinegun bullets with their mates. So that explains my different interpretation of this song (different because it doesn't involve some for of wrecked relationship).
I relate it to the guys who were waiting for their turn to charge and die, or dying in their mates arms. I think of a bloke turning to his mate and sort of comforting him, as in "this is really shit that we're all gunna die, but we're all gunna go out together so lets not be afraid". It's like they know they're gunna die (see the light surrounding you - like an aura) but don't be affraid of dying because it's all gunna be over for us soon and we'll be with eachother again in the next life.
Told you it was different.
