I feel like they wrote the song about their frustration with fans who act as if they own the band and are very vocal about what they expect from LP and get really pissed when LP chooses to go into a different direction. The line"I'm not your soldier I'm not taking any orders" in particular seems to suggest that. "I'm a five star general, infantry controller" suggests that they have control over their own musical choices and are not influenced by people who are "looking for a purpose".
Like I said, this is my personal interpretation so it might be wrong.
This my interpretation so I might not be right.
