To me this song is about soldiers. Spit shine alone is a tactic used to shine your boots. I think its talking about how soldiers are made to think a certain way, and in becoming that; seeing death, seeing war they lose their innocence. I think they are trying to find a way to cope, spit shining like taught to try to make their halo shine again, to deal with the guilt that comes with taking a life. IDK, thats how I relate.
