Band stated in interview that each song is about a different comic book character(s), but that the lyrics are also written vaguely enough to be relateable.
Characters: I struggled with this one at first. I thought maybe Lex Luther, but this character was obviously more good than him. My wife was the one to actually figure it out. It's Tony Stark, IRON MAN. Rich? check. Sold weapons for wars? check. Became advocate for peace? check. Bonded to a machine that can touch the sky"? check.
General message: A "sentinel" is a soldier or guard whose job is to stand and keep watch. In general the song is about watching out for others and trading wealth and fame for heroism.
