The Frontlines Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for The Frontlines lyrics by Machine Head

In short, this one is a war requiem of sorts, told from the eyes of the soldier forced into war as a condemnation of the corruption in politics, the trauma they suffer, and the dehumanization caused by war. It embodies the political anger and human empathy during a time of global conflict. The frontlines, it mentions, are not just the physical battlefield, but a metaphor for the mental and emotional breaking point that war drives soldiers to face/or jump from.
