I might be completely wrong, but to me this song sounds like it´s told by someone who´s come back from the war and is hurt and traumatized. In a hospital, with honor medals (purple heart pinned on) and all these horrible memories (and it got so bright it died and blew up all over the inside - maybe a bomb going off?) and wishing for healing. I don´t know, maybe I´m way off, but that´s what I got from it.
