This song is about soldiers who do their duty when they go off to war. They are trained to kill enemy targets, but the psychological effect changes when those targets become flesh. The soldier in the song becomes upset, hurt and mad that he took another humans life yet he did what he was supposed to do meaning what he was trained to do. The soldier feels what he did was wrong, causing him to see the faces of the men he has killed. Every time he shuts his eyes, he hears the horror, the screams, and the bullets in every daily routine. He wants an end to the pain; he wants to take his own life. He feels as if he is not a hero, because he doesn’t feel like he is defending his country by taking someone else’s life. He also doesn’t feel strong enough
