This might have something to do with me being an Iraq War veteran, but I see it as an anti-war song. "I did my time and I want out." The character is referring that he did his required time, either in Iraq, or in the military as a whole and wants out. "Go drill your deserts, go fill your graves" Pretty self explanatory. "Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save." While on deployment, troops make a lot more than back in the states. It's still not a lot, but compared to state-side, it's a small fortune. "I'm done! It has begun, I'm not the only one." The character is at his breaking point, he's fed up with the system as a whole. However, his psyche has been corrupted by what he has seen and done. There are others just like him. The chorus of the song refers to the overall corruption and death of a generation as a result of this war. "Fake anti-fascist lie." The lie based off of the poor intelligence that caused us to invade in the first place. "I've tried to tell you, but your purple hearts are giving out." The part about the purple hearts seems to have more than one meaning. The purple heart is a medal that the U.S. military members receive for being wounded in combat. Purple heart could also mean a literal heart that is in poor health. "Can't stop the killing idea. If it's hunting season. Is this what you want?" Now the character is out of the combat zone, back state-side, but all he has is a messed up psyche. Once the "kill switch" has been turned on, it doesn't turned off. All he has is pent up stress, homicidal and suicidal tendencies with a society that does not care or even blames him as part of the problem. Hence the whole term "Psychosocial."
Slatdogg....I agree brother. They take advantage of our fates, turn us loose and then want us to be good little citizens once back home. After a life time, I decided to change my fate.

@Slatdogg
I noticed nothing was brought up about them saying, the rain will kill us all, which is another thing that reminded me about military. There was something called steel rain when I was in sometimes. Not sure if that is the rain they are talking about but its the first thing I thought about when hearing that part.

@Slatdogg I agree in the sense this is trying to society about the military. I honestly believe they are talking the government as a whole (the rain; reign) and the lies the tell us to cover up their deceit and crimes against humanity. Yes we are all just here for them to experiment on. Look at the state we are in now a days and the world. As far as line I've done my time and I want out. Well I've never been in the military and never would be I'm so antigovernment. In the sense I've done my time...

@Slatdogg fill your mouths with all the money you will save has nothing to do with the soldiers pay. It’s talking about the government using OIF and OEF to also collect oil. Saving money. You obviously was not in the military. Saying the pay was worth it. Acting like we made good money for what we and others sacrificed. Hundreds of brothers lives.

@Slatdogg I'm not a veteran, but that's exactly what I thought when I heard it as well, so it's not just you ;)

@Slatdogg I'm assuming when they say the "Rain will Kill us all" They might be referring to Bomb/Missiles Being dropped or getting killed by Shrapnel.
