A pillbox is a type of long-term fortification, like a bunker of sorts.
The Maginot Line in France, taken by the Germans twice, had plenty of them. It saw a lot of use over the years.
So what I imagine while i listen to the ThouShaltNot cover, is a worn out soldier (doesn't matter what side) taking sheter in a pillbox during shelling, and the ghost of someone from a previous war talking to him, saying that the world as we know it might well be over, but he'll be safe here for now, long as he is willing to lend an ear "and listen to my pillbox tales".
"The screaming queen
On the TV screen
Is never coming back" this bit makes me think that it's set during a major conflict yet to come, as the television phenomenon hadn't really kicked yet off during the last two world wars.
