Lyric discussion by Azazel23 

Cover art for Volunteers lyrics by Paul Dempsey

"It's a song about that precise moment, when someone realises that they've taken everything for granted and fucked everything up. But really trying to zone right in on that exact moment, not necessarily the events leading up or the aftermath, but trying to pinpoint that exact moment. So it’s almost like the protagonist of the song is almost saying... It’s sort of someone in shock. The protagonist of the song is in shock as they are still not sure what just happened happened... But it’s funnier than that" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w11_KS95ws8
