I always thought the line at the beginning was "from green to red", like a battlefield being stained with blood, but on seeing this and listening to the song again, it does sound more like "and". Regardless, this song seems to be about how sometimes as we struggle through life, we end up alienating people by accident - "when everyone becomes afraid of you" - but in the end nothing we do really matters, and life is always going to throw us random curveballs that we can't avoid and just have to swing at the best we can ("see how pathless life can be")
Fantastic song - makes me tear up a bit
