@kimjongsurge I think this, and the realization that he grew up during such a difficult, war-torn time in his country, are what brought this song into being. Raised by wolves...raised in a time where people are tearing each other apart.

I’m gonna detonate in your den...I think this is an amazing image of how war and conflict are brought right into the home, through media, etc, but also through civilian bombings and raids. It's as if we can't be satisfied just killing other soldiers...we aren't serious until we've walked into your safe places and destroyed them.
One of the verses is clearly about a horrific Dublin bombing in 1974 - according to the Wikipedias:
"The second of the Dublin car bombs went off at about 17:30"
"The bomb car was a metallic blue mink Ford Escort, registration number 1385 WZ."
The rest of the horrific account of the bombing can be found here - not for the faint of heart, quite graphic and sad:
