War Is Glorious

comment
War Is Glorious: Deconstructed in "Celebration Guns". A conflict (implied to be the Iraq War) has ended, hence drums, laughter, and the titular "celebration guns" commemorating the victory, but the narrator can't help but think of the personal cost — soldiers reduced to numbers, a neverending stream of bad news, and blood on the nation's hands as they search for the next target.

Former Teen Rebel: "Barricade" is about two young hooligans in an unstable relationship. Years later the love interest seems to have cleaned up her act:

Saved by the Church Bell: Ringing church bells are part of the melancholy, but hopeful imagery in "In Our Bedroom After The War".

Haunted Heroine: The female singer and implicit heroine of "Dead Hearts" describes what seems to be a ghostly encounter of "kids that [she] once knew", alluding to past pain they bring up.

Shout-Out: The music video for "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" homages Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (with the band members lying on ice and staring at the sky), another work about a relationship that has come to an end.

Mid-Suicide Regret: Metaphorically done in "Calendar Girl" — the depressed and possibly suicidal protagonist dreamed of their death and realized when they awoke (thinking they were still dying) that they wanted to live.

Cross-Referenced Titles: Two songs from Set Yourself on Fire are titled "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead" and "One More Night (Your Ex-Lover Is Still Dead)". Both songs are about an ended relationship, though it is ambiguous if they are about the same couple.
