I think this song is all about the generational gap that technology has created. Hunting and gathering has pretty much taken a back seat.

how to pull that wire and steady the bow
send that arrow into her beating heart
how to cut her and use every part"
There's no way the narrator could do the things that his grandfather did to survive. He's got all of the store-bought canned goods he needs in his little hut in the woods.
