Possibly the War In Iraq or any War that America has been in, and the f'ed up thing/things the soldiers may of done? Then feeling completely alone realizing that they don't even know what they're fighting for anymore or why?
"And our war is the crucible of all your longing at the border,
At the, at the border I'm at the border, at the, at the border
I was there when the clamour got real I was there when your brow smashed the wall
It's like a riot with only two perps, the more I'm here I'm making it worse
But does it feel like you're already dead? (YES!)
And do you feel like your brain stopped delivering?
Yeah break my finger shoot out my black eyes,
What does it matter if everyone dies?
Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone!"
You wasn't there when I orphaned that boy,
(NO!) Your body was, and the white of your rollin' eye
I saw some terrible things on that night, I done a lot of bad things with my life
"I put my fingers in thee, And I breeze past security!
Nobody checking on all of my deeds, I need a checker for all of my deeds
Hey Kemosabe I'm alone! Ayah! I am a! I am alone!"
I still like dianaodd's interpretation better. Just looking at it from a different angle.
