The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the president to those wounded or killed while serving with the U.S. military.

[...]pinned on a fossil thats not quite dead - > the warrior that was heavily wounded, possibly of an old age, that suffered a great damage during battle

im invincible here ->celebrated survivor by people taking care of him at the hospital?

Just a connoisseur of dirt, celebrating my worth ->connoisseur of dirt -> people in military do kill on field, in other words - specialist in dirty work that is taking life (despite it being for country - taking a life is taking a life)

can count on one and, useless or not ->referring to what he has done that could value to his worth, theres not much of what he has done to prove it(on field, mst likey), and it isnt necessarily much - probably has done very little compared to others on field

{ The number of useless things my useless hands have caught Fix me medicine, fix me cast Fix me strong, so I can last } -> i feel like this part is the narrator rethinking wether he's worth it, i mean - he feels useless, probably a lot of better warriors died doing better things than him, it feels almost ironic when he's saying ''fix me, so i can last'', '' fix me - i apparently deserve it'' -> which he doesnt feel like he does deserve it

//chorus - a bomb?

Planned out like a chemistry set -> carefully

dogfight - close combat between military aircraft./ a ferocious struggle for supremacy between interested parties ejection - firing the pilot from and seat from the aircraft using rocket motors

{ A dog fight with no means to eject They never taught us about that. } ->when its impossible to eject, you have it do it manually, but they weren't taught on what to do when ejection is impossible
