I think the song is about a bad relationship that jumps back and forth between being good and bad. The first two lines "The cycle repeated, as explosions broke in the sky" shows the cyclic nature of the relationship but that its always in turmoil. There is a want to "fix it, but couldn't stop from tearing it down." So the singer feels that he/she is "Building it up, to break it back down." No matter what they try to do, they always end up burning down their relationship into corruption. This is further seen in Mike rap, where he says that they try to "play soldier and king," but that it doesn't work because they end up striking each other down no matter what they do.
So in the end they come up with the solution, they will burn it down once and for all. No more attempts at trying to fix the relationship.
That's my take anyway, its interesting to see relationship LP songs return, considering the last 2 albums have been very political. Looking forward to the album!
This only makes sense if the relationship that you interpreted from this CHAOTIC and CONFLICTED song is that of a gay couple. Soldier and King? Are you insinuating Chester is gay? Striking each other down? This isn't rihanna and stupid ass chris brown over here... you seem to listen to a lot of mainstream, its bad for your braiin. This sad interpretation was not funny at all and could notttt be far enough from the truth.
