i agree that hes joined the army and hes seeing what it was like and how its all hideous acts an all that.
its all from his perspective or the perspective of his fellow soldiers accept from the line
"We've never been so
excited to see you before."
which is clearly the leaders or recruters who are willing to take advantage of anyone with their propaganda just to get them to fight for their cause.
the last softer section i like to think is himm sitting in some underground bunker all muddied in his uniform between fights with a vinal player playing the song and him sitting smiling thinking of miss leading.
the whole thing is supposedly going to be a film or a musical and i find picturing it as such helps me decifer the lyrics
