In my opinion, this song is from the perspective of a soldier who is "far from home." When I say "far from home," I mean that it can be either a physical, mental, or emotional detachment that the person is feeling and suffering from. Although I have never served and can only imagine what a soldier may go through, these lyrics have deep meaning behind them. I have heard about instances when a soldier returns home and still feels distant from his/her loved ones. War takes a toll on everything and everyone. That's why it's great to see that this band writes awesome songs like this. I think this is a very talented band and this is one of my favorite songs by them. I also like the version with the acoustic guitar more versus the one that is all electric. Just my liking though. Two thumbs way up.
