I think the title of this song pretty much sums up what its about - we're never going to have peace in the world, always going to be at war.
"The road is running out
We see it over our shoulders with everything we've lost
Fields of flowers, balanced powers"
We can look back but we won't learn anything from it. We can study WWI (what fields of flowers and balanced powers refer to) but that hasn't helped us avoid any later wars.
"When you raise your head
And you fall down to your knees
While you wait for it
We’re running fast as we can
Down a street with no end"
This I think refers to the inevitability of war and conflict, we know its coming and just wait and watch it arrive, and even though we see its happening we run towards it and are going to self destruct.
