Lyric discussion by YeahDogg 

I ahve no idea what it means. But I love the song

I think the song is about a war. Perhaps one were someone stormed a beach, and the defending soldiers might be portrayed as innocent children because they are simply defending themselves and others and didn't wish to fight. Synthetic fighting might just be the battle because they used bullets and such. There not in trouble any more so it's over. The shiny toy guns are guns. The soldiers were taken away so either killed or captured. They prey the find the clues needed to get them back. And fathers sleeping and watching from far away because he's dead.
