alright so I think this has more of a holocaust ring to me
I’m saddling in here for the long haul
Can’t hide forever is what they say
In with the wind, out with a bang
Meanwhile nothing has changed
he's either in the Warsaw ghetto awaiting transport to a "village" (meanwhile nothing has changed)
or still hiding from the nazis (can't hide forever is what they say)
he went running and wound up caught after the nazis shot out a couple of his freinds/family, who were all transported to either the ghetto or the concentration camp (in with the wind, out with a bang)
With each one slowly ordered
A storm brews in her eyes
A miss shot at the buzzard
Time whether wasted or well spent is still time
We are not brave, we are not wise
We stand at the end of the longest times
But we stand here all together
We have been damned, we have survived
We came back to homes we don’t recognize
But we return here all together
now this is where I picked up on the holocaust vibe
the war is finally over and they have been liberated (we stand at the end of the longest times)
the line "We have been damned, we have survived" shows how they survived the holocaust itself, and all the death that occured
"we came back to homes we don't recognize" they come back to their old homes only to find them destroyed or bought by someone else
"but we return here all together" describes the people that survived with him
this is just my interpretation, the war veteran thing is sounding pretty good but I'm still sticking to my own
