I've always thought about this song about an ening relationship.
"Well, I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain
The fire in the sky-- a dim light in my eye that's long faded
And I've stood where heroes have fallen their names turned to stone
Yet I remain nameless, the best friend the hero has known"
The guy or girl always carried the relationship, but never got anything from the other, he or she was in the place of the other persons ex-lover, but that same person doesn't take that in mind.
"Now I'm saving my strength for running
These days I'm saving my strength for running"
Now, he or she doesn't have the energy to fight anymore, just run away from that person
"From the age of kings when pride decided all fate
Long before war machines took charge and I was still 'wake
It was blind hope and blinders, with young men to carry between
All the death and the glory; believin' they're one and the same"
That persons significant other was the one that decided everything, but there was always a false hope that it would change, and that same person thinks that what his or her boy/girlfriend is doing is fine
"Yes I've carried the world on my back with no more to obtain
The sword and the shield perched upon saddles and reins
But the stampedes of thunder, the cavalry's charge leaves me now
Your last war will come but I can not follow you there"
The love is gone from her or him, and his or her "last war" is a new relationship, and she obviously can't follow her or him.
