okay: i think this is about loosing your faith. 'all those words we wrote' = new testament--and he's chucked out he rules because something in his life is haywire ('a girl in the war') and god doesn't seem to be helping.
the keys to the kingdom--come ON, saint peter guards the pearly gates & holds the keys to the KINGDOM of heaven--and he's lost the keys, ie his faith. faith isn't easy for him anymore. 'angels fly around inside but we can't seem them'.
i do like the anti-war reading too but i think the faith metaphor can be applied to that too, and i also think that the biblical allusions are too strong to be ignored. peter (the rock on which the chruch was founded) is starting to doubt and paul says, come on man, just trust, believe that it will be okay.
