I think this is sort of the turning point of the album, where the narrator becomes more of a moral person. In earlier songs like Rumbrave he revels in death and destruction, but here he's troubled by it. He hasn't completely changed yet since he still does it, but he makes a distinction between himself and his accomplices "I know I'm with 'em, but I ain't like them." It's clear that a fundamental change in his life is coming
