No Widows Lyrics

Wow, I just heard this song, and it is absolutely haunting and beautiful.

At its core, I think this song is about the serenity of being alone. As I heard the lyrics, I imagined a soldier somewhere in a foreign land. He has no one waiting for him back at home. If he dies in his vehicle (If the wheels jump off the road) or shot down in the sky (Say the wings won't break) there will be no one waiting for him to come back home. Although this sounds depressing, I think he finds some peace in this (No perfect love above, There's no punishment below).

Whatever the meaning behind this song, this has to be one of best songs I've heard this year.
