From all the comments I've read on youtube and what I've seen with Chevelle's lyrics in the past, this song is about public shootings and the way they are publicized. If you take it from that point of view, the song is written from the would-be hero's stance. "point the gun at the eyes, or at the knees, had to shoot, had to fight."
"Eyes huge" I would say refers to being shocked and surprised, not being on drugs as someone else suggested. Although I can understand when the next lyric is "so little empty something", but the line " I can't believe the way we publicize " at the end should clear up any confusion. Though could be that maybe the shooter "gunman" is on drugs (medication) as that is often a factor. That would make sense if you took it on the whole: "eyes huge, so little empty somethings". Idk, just my thoughts on it. Great song regardless....
