"Clean My Wounds" seems to be a song about the horrors of war and the psychological scars it leaves behind. It’s about someone grappling with despair, looking for salvation but realizing that some wounds can never truly be healed.
War and violence: "I see the world thru blood shot eyes.
Streets filled with blood from distant lies." - A world plagued by war, conflict, and deception—perhaps alluding to how governments or leaders manipulate people into war under false pretenses.
Spiritual Disillusionment: "Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds," suggests is a desperate cry for salvation, healing, or redemption. The response—"He said he cannot heal that kind"—implies a deep, irreparable wound, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. This could symbolize the futility of seeking divine intervention in a world so broken, or his own feeling of being beyond redemption because of what he's done.
Suicide: "Buckshot through the dome makes a big fucking mess" is almost surely a reference to suicide. "He said it happens every time..." suggests a cycle of destruction and death that repeats endlessly, with no lessons learned, no change, and no salvation.
