| Have any you who have listened to this song read "All Quiet on the Western Front?' There are some uncanny similarities. I don't want to give away the book, but the song's end resembles the book's very much. | |

| The 'war' reminds me of a part of Johnette Napolitano's "Suicide Note", namely: 'And I wanted to believe You would win The war in your head That I did not understand' To me, this is about overcoming mental illness, how it can change you. And apparently, this person feels like he has lost a lot of himself on the way to 'recovery', like it was part of him, of his personality: 'As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of what I used to be' and obviously 'Empty shell inside of me, I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me' | |

| I don't think it's about how WAR changes people. I think it's about how difficulties of life change people. "War" is just a metaphor. The hard times are over now, but they have really changed him and he needs support, he feels weak. As he is different now, he's afraid his loved ones won't accept him anymore and will turn their back on him (Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over). | |
