Does anyone think the lyrics could be referring to going down to get drugs?
Please don't scold me for this perspective on the song, it's just, the song so perfectly describes certain situations i've been in, involving being addicted to heroin and having to go down to "the hood" every day to get it. Every day, after picking it up, thoughts that would enter my mind would be 'i know it's gonna happen, i know i'm gonna go down again'(most people refer to going to that area to get drugs to be 'going down'), and 'this is going to be what ends up killing me..i hope it doesn't happen TOO soon'. Last but not least, my friends who did it as well would always blow off plans with their girlfriends or just friends to go down because of their physical dependency for heroin, and would find themselves saying things like 'did i forget that i said to you that i'd be there' (or other variations of that phrase) to them. Ironically enough, my friends and i would always listen to "opiate music" while on heroin, and songs that would fit this description would always be acoustic, calming, relaxing, such as this.
The WWII interpretations seem completely accurate, however, everytime I hear this song, i cannot get my own interpretaion out of my head.

I would very much appreciate feedback on this.
Just commenting to say I understand your interpretation because it's mine too.
