I think the lyrics are pretty easy to understand. An interesting fact about this song (I saw Mark King say this in an interview) is that it was written to be a hit (which the record label, Polydor, wanted). The members of the band had played together in bands in holiday camps on the Isle of Wight, and 'We'll Meet Again' by Vera Lynn always went down well with audiences. They borrowed elements of the chord progression knowing it was proven to be popular.
