just a wild guess but maybe its about John Andrew Barnes III who was a american first class private who fought in vietnam and died by jumping onto a grenade to protect his unit. i think the first line might be about how he had gunned down 9 enemy units. then when it says "last light going down we're stuck in traffic here" its referring to last chance of living but its gonna be tough to get out of here. and the whole snowy scene in this might just be because he had died in november. and then in the next set of lyrics "i found it in your file..." is referring to the fact that pretty much no one would make it out of vietnam. "that sea was made to burn like a fire draped in white, not a soul was left inside" the sea being vietnam covered in snow and no one was left alive inside so he knows now that he can never go home again after goin to vietnam.
