Wow. Compared to all the political hoo-ha here, I feel as though my interpretation is simple. But:
To me, this song is about love. Plain and simple. Love is confusing and contradictory and way too intoxicating, and you should never turn your back on it or anyone who is in it. Love is the ultimate motivation for everything we do (we breathe in and out for it, we give in and out for it), and we would do anything in the name of it - kill, maim, betray, abandon. It makes us a weapon.
And Matthew's only advice is: "Be careful. You be careful."
