To my mind this is commenting about the atrocities of war and the attacks that the west are raging elsewhere in the world. The people in the houses are asleep in bed at night. They are attacked, open their eyes, turn on the lights, carry their dead ‘sleepers’ into the street, drop to their knees.
The citizens of USA are led by government propaganda, believing the blue sky dream that they’re being sold by their ridiculous country. Which will eventually smother them.
It’s difficult to differentiate Violet from Violent when Matt sings it.

It’s a very sad song.
