Cover art for M4 Part II lyrics by Faunts

"Water down your empty soul..." is a pretty good clue. It's an expression used for coping, via, alcohol.

"Wake the sea of silent hope" is another. Wishing your problems away...hoping they one day will fix themselves.

"Fire the fields the 'seeds' are sown." Is what I think it is and could be interpreted as destroying your life/ life's progress...your family.

"I need you to recover because I can't make it on my own..."

It's about substance abuse. Drinking. The war is a metaphor for what it can be like to stop. Namely, battling your demons. The song is ultimately about making it, at its baser core. So applies to the game for which it was used. Applies doubly so to someone with a substance abuse problem.

Also, I don't think it's "fire the fields the weed has sown." You sow/ plant seeds, but you can burn grown weeds...this can be a significant difference in meaning.
