To me this song is about a solider being prepared for war. and the general brutality of humanity.
"We're catching bullets in our teeth
And though it's easy when you know how it's done
They split the secret up six ways before they gave it to us just before dawn
And now we don't remember"
they soldiers were taught how to kill in 6 steps and they were told its easy once you know how its done. now that bullets are being fired at them "catching bullets in their teeth" they dont remember how to kill cause its different when someone else is trying to kill you
"Our blood and guts are out"
they are getting killed
"We spread our bones across the table at night
We cut our fingers off
To give ourselves those little extra insights
this part is about an age old game that soldiers use to play putting their hands on the table to play a stabbing game. to have a little insight of the pain of dying and killing another,
