Easy on it previous posters. I'm clearly not the opinion this is about a certain topic in particular any of us could name. My interpretation is that it is either something outside of our knowledge or something more general.
General as in we're meeting it every day. Let it be "relationship stuff", let it be "work related", let it be "people you have a private relationship to" and more ...
Let it be any kind of "Are you buying what I try to sell although I know you know you're not buying?", let it be "Why am I doing this to myself?". Let it be "What lies deep within me I haven't yet lent an ear to?".
Don't let yourself get distracted by the gun parts as "violence" of writers intention could be put into many different expressions. Of course the obvious is preferred to be presumed at first...
"Hungry nations" I hear you say? Could be again a symbolic meaning referring to those in help you would not ask for the "Why" and just help instead; hungry, lonely, poor, homeless, yearning and more are just different expressions of what one could have in mind to describe a situation highly unpleasant.
Fun fact: Before I looked up the lyrics I understood "Why do we TELL this to ourselves?" instead.
