lyrics from the silversun pickups’ new album, swoon. i like the song, yet can’t seem to wrap my head around the lyrics. anyone have any ideas?

We are ready for the siege / We are armed up to the teeth / Be careful how you live and breathe / Release what’s broken underneath
How many times do you wanna die? / How many ways do you wanna die?
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder / Very carefully look over your shoulder
We can laugh about it now / We hope everything works out / Be careful how you lick your wounds / Believe that change is coming soon
How many times do you wanna die? / How many ways do you wanna die?
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder / Very carefully look over your shoulder
You used to do a little, but a little won’t fly / Right before you hit your prime / That’s when we fell in love, but not the first time
Can I please you still? / Remain in your father’s will / Or does it make you ill?
Let us bruise their knees / We went in straight for a defeat / You will be relieved
So relieved, so relieved to the flow, and desire / Bitter sparks to the friendly fire / Misery inspires
Your throwin’ me cuts several times before / Never noticed the size of the flow / Make it be ignored
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder / Carefully look over your shoulder
You said you believe, but believing won’t fly / Right before you hit your prime / That’s when we fell in love, but not the first time
And when it’s all over and you open your eyes / You see the room turned on its side / And you’ll be lying down and over on the floor; signed,
The Royal We / The Royal We / The Royal We / The Royal We / The Royal We / The Royal We / The Royal We / The Royal We / Love The Royal We
