I think the song is about the narrator having to leave his girlfriend/wife.
(Slow down this is slippin' through my mind, this conversation has run out of time.) He tells her he's leaving.
(I know that you really wanna go, my mind is runnin' outta gas just relax, and recap, and relapse.) They are fighting about him leaving and he just wants her to calm down, relax, and think about it.
(Tonight, my body's jumpin' and I, go through the motions and I'm leaving on this journey, maybe someday I'll come running home to you.) Hes excited/worried and he promises that he'll come back for her.
(I don't wanna see the day, my words cannot make it safe.) Hes trying to comfort her because she still doesnt want him to leave.
(Come running home! Come running home!) Shes telling him to come home alive, obviously.
(I don't wanna see the day, her tears are falling on my grave.) he doesnt want her to have to deal with his death.
(This is my one chance, to take back, no regrets...) he wants to take back the feelings he has for her so she doesnt have to deal with his death but he doesnt regret loving her and he wont regret leaving her because he knows its best for her.
To sum it up i think the song is a story about the narrator going to war but his girlfriend/wife is trying to stop him. He thinks that hes not going to come back alive and she thinks it too but he still comforts her so that she wont worry but he also knows that if he dies that it will break her heart so he wants to take the feelings he has for her back cause he thinks its better to hurt her that way rather than have her to deal with his death. he doesnt regret loving her or leaving her and he wont let his love for her die but hes leaving her because its best for her but he still wants the war to end so he run home to her and get her back which would explain the urgency of the song.
this song was written before the band became The Fall Of Troy but any true TFOT fan can tell you they were originally The 30 Years War and that would explain why the song is about war.
this is an amazing song… great lyrics. musically (and, somewhat, thematically), it sounds like a cross between Achilles’ Last Stand, by Led Zeppelin, and Wire, by U2. this song could definitely be about war…it feels very desperate, very apocalyptic. awesome :)
