Every time I hear this song I think of divorce. I have had friends growing up that went through it that have almost exactly said "I was prepared for the news but not for full scale war". The verses could be about self worth and longing for the "security" of childhood, but I haven't given it much thought beyond the feeling I get.
It would explain the lines:
These things all end
Who asked you anyway?
You'll have to bend
Who asked you anyway?
It's not like the children have a choice. It's a tragedy we've become too comfortable with as a society.
