Your commentary is absolutely wrong. You extrapolate from datas tou don't have.
"Soldier" = means "every soldier on planet earth"
Now what is "a soldier" in thhis song : "a human alien"
Which means "not an human anymore"
That brings us back to the beginning of the song : where" does he entering ?
Not on a battlefielf. Beacause he has already seen it (he says he has seen graveyards, etc).
Which only means, one and only thing : indeed, very deep, dark. He enters his own home. ..And yet, he does not see it. Because, precisely, he has the soldier's eyes, nox and became an "human alien", an alien to what "home" means. There is no home once you've seen trouhg the devil's eyes.
I Don't undersatnd how you can believe this is a "pro-military" song. It is the exact opposite: The charactrer depicted says he is like the "human alien" that faces him. There is no good side for the soldiers. While wars are preferable in some cases (think of the fight against Hitler), there is no return ever possible from that place for human beeings. You've become something else, and that simple data, horrible, means the destruction of your mind, of your personality, of your joy, of what defines you as a human.
I just don't know what to say. Every soldier would understand this meaning. But the fact that this singer takes time to write a song about it means that he wants pepole to understand this tragic situation, especially people who see wars as "automatic defensive mechanism". There are soldiers on every field (or behind screens, which doesn't change the meaning, by the way).There are people who never really can't comme home after what they've done,n after what they've seen.
@doray11101 amen.
The song is definitely about a what the soldier goes through when they come home.
I'm no soldier. Never been. But I've seen my brother and cousin came back. And the person that they were before being deployed died somewhere over there. They come back and can't relate to anyone. They don't know how to. And when people talk about flash backs and PTSD. That shits no joke.

@doray11101 I believe you're right and the ptsd angle is undeniable.
The lyrics are open interpretation though, it translates to the mental illnesses caused by war and of course mental health in general.
I suffer poor mental health and the only way I could explain it to a family member who had never suffered from it was to say that it was an endless battle against my demons.
I've seen it in others aswell it's not an illness or disease you live with but a constant fight. Listening to this song it's obvious that whatever the narrator is experiencing he's struggling to not...

Also to the guy who stated the alien angle means they're viewing themselves as non human, I think you are stretching with that one.
If you are fighting in a battle and you aren't on home soil you're classed as an alien but in regards to this song I think the use of alien is more in the vein of something that feels unfamiliar and distant from what the narrator is comfortable with.
