Green Day – 21 Guns Lyrics 15 years ago
second verse is talking of after the war, unlike getting drunk, the after effects (hangover) never goes away. You're gonna be messed up for life.

And in the third verse i believe it to be talking of how soldiers will burn down another families home. could you really live with yourself after killing someone in a fire? or maybe going crazy as some people do after a war, not being able to live by yourself and needing help.

After you have killed the other soldier, you can never take it back. There are no second chances on taking another life. Once it's done, a part of you dies inside, No matter how tough you may be.

Green Day – 21 Guns Lyrics 15 years ago
the way I interpret this song is that war is so terrible, the people who fight in it and have the pride can be messed up for life for taking someones life. "And you look for a place to hide? Did someone break your heart inside?. You're in ruins"

Just have one 21 gun salute to honor those who have died. then lay down the guns and hope you never have to pick them up again. "One, 21 guns. Lay down your arms. Give up the fight"

People are constantly left in ruins from what they were forced to do in war. Just end the war and throw the guns in rejoice that it's all over. "Throw up your arms into the sky, You and I" <--- you and I meaning us and our enemy. Let's just give it all up. :)
