im not sure whats happening, it could be that the dear hunter kills his father, though if he is i dont think the mood of the song fits so im not sure. thought "i kept this for a reason" could be him having kept the stuff he bought from the poison lady to poison his dad.
it kinda feels like its from someone elses perspective but if it is i have no idea whos. because its "THE mother" and "THE father" not 'my' and "everything WE'VE ever wanted is here for US" thouhgh the "i kept it for a reason bit" could be from the dear hunters perspective in the background.
the last line, as in "you look like him" being the son. is whoever it is singing saying that he resembles the boy that hi mother knew but he has greatly changed. matured, grown, loved, lost, probably injured in the war. =)
