I get the impression from this song that the second thoughts the singer is having in the song is a result of seeing the 9/11 attacks on television. Watching such grotesque violence only makes his cause seem even more senseless. His mentor (and lover?) seems to disagree ("wrong about the feeling, wrong about the sound") with this conclusion, but agrees to put their plans on hold ("right to say we should stand down").
