My girlfriend thought this song was about war, but i read a lot deeper than that when i thought about it. I think it's having a 'partner in crime,' a friend or loved one where you can just be whoever you are and whoever you want, regardless of everyone elses opinion.

"I don't need anybody but me. I don't want anybody but you" - a lover or partner in crime "Come on get up get off your knees, we're bringing down the machine" - lets go raise some hell, fuck everyone else

"Burning in the sun When we fight we die together We are the children of the gun" - i take that as how people tell you what to be, like they're putting you on a pedestal of expectations, too close to the sun. This is saying lets stand up and fight against it.

"Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger" - don't get pissed of at me, i didn't start all this shit, just getting word out!

That's just how i took it, it probably IS about war lol. But music is expression, you can feel however you want when you hear something and that's the right answer to you.
