oh it's healing - bang bang bang
I can hear your cannons call
you've been aiming at my land
your hungry hammer is falling
and if you want me I'm your country
I'm an angel bored like hell
and you're a devil meaning well
you steal my lines and you strike me dumb
come raise your flag upon me
and if you want me I'm your country
if you win me I'm forever - oh yeah!
'cause you're the storm that I've been needing
and all this peace has been deceiving
I like the sweet life and the silence
but it's the storm that I believe in
come and conquer and drop your bombs
cross my borders and kill the calm
bear your fangs and burn my wings
I hear bullets singing
and if you want me I'm your country
if you win me I'm forever - oh yeah!
'cause you're the storm that I've been needing
and all this peace has been deceiving
I need some wind to get me sailing
so it's the storm that I believe in
you fill my heart, you keep me breathing
'cause you're the storm that I believe in
and if you want me I'm your country
I can hear your cannons call
you've been aiming at my land
your hungry hammer is falling
and if you want me I'm your country
I'm an angel bored like hell
and you're a devil meaning well
you steal my lines and you strike me dumb
come raise your flag upon me
and if you want me I'm your country
if you win me I'm forever - oh yeah!
'cause you're the storm that I've been needing
and all this peace has been deceiving
I like the sweet life and the silence
but it's the storm that I believe in
come and conquer and drop your bombs
cross my borders and kill the calm
bear your fangs and burn my wings
I hear bullets singing
and if you want me I'm your country
if you win me I'm forever - oh yeah!
'cause you're the storm that I've been needing
and all this peace has been deceiving
I need some wind to get me sailing
so it's the storm that I believe in
you fill my heart, you keep me breathing
'cause you're the storm that I believe in
and if you want me I'm your country

Just a thought.
It's about love and that she met a man that changed her life and gave her the exitment she needed.
Her life was boring and peacefull before, but then she met a man that made her life exiting and opend her eyes.
Parts like "come and conquer and drop your bombs, cross my borders and kill the calm" are just metaphors. This part means come and conquer my heart and cross the boarders into my life and make it exiting.
This song is about everything! A relationship between opposites reveals the storm that rages within everything around us everywhere we look. No other song reveals this more to me than this song. It's been my favorite song for years. It is not the perfection in the world or perhaps the universe which makes it beautiful, it is the flaw, the imperfection, the scar that enables the beauty to occur. There's no light without darkness, no light without shadow, no pleasure without pain, no good without evil. Both are necessary, they need each other to define themselves. It is the storm that rages and is present in everything that exist everywhere we look. The storm is like a kind of magic, wonderful, terrible unsettling, dangerous, mesmerizing and hypnotic. It makes you feel kind of dizzy, unsafe, uncomfortable and liberated! We must have more of this whatever it is! There's a storm coming and it's freaking beautiful! It's unsafe. It is the very opposite of the very comfort zones most people live in. Everyone needs to feel this way to feel happy. We crave excitement to release the adrenaline, cortisol and endorphins that allow us to cool out physically, mentally and spiritually. We need to unbalance ourselves and fall back to the center where we can find balance again. We do this constantly over and over again because it is impossible to be in the center all the time. Everything moves and so we must move with it like equilibrium or be washed away in the current and become hopelessly lost at sea. Life is like sailing or riding the storm out. The storm brings release from whatever we're attached to. Storms are necessary to bring the calm that follows closely behind. The storm frees us. Thats what this song means to me anyways. It means a lot! Maybe I'm just a little crazy, like a storm?
I've always loved the other imagery alongside the war stuff, with the angel/devil angle. She's been "good" for a long time(an angel), taking time out from the dating game probably, but when he comes along and suggests things and asks for stuff(like a devil) she realizes that while she was free of worry and stuff during this time of "calm," it was really boring. The hectic business of romance is what she wants in her life. She wants to do more than just exist, she wants to live life.
I love the nautical feel of this one in the music itself.
I think its both love and sex. She recognizes she loves him and he is good for her. Now, she wants to challenge him to make her seize her and take things to a new level. I think it doubles to challenge him to not only have sex with her but to want her all to himself all the time. Oh yeah. I love this song.
