I thought it was kind of a song about the Columbine shooting. Taking them down one by one, and taking the big kings down both echo that, plus toasting/celebrating their own death. Imagining that it will cause a change forever, resulting in the 'seasons,' or that it rips through everyone's perfect lives (the silence) trying to say something also kind of fits to me. Plus - 'Elephant' is also a film loosely based on Columbine. I could be totally off, that's just the feel I got.
It is, in a way, about travelling and wanderlust. This song is about how he wants to travel and go on safari but does not have the means to do so. Instead he drowns his sorrow in booze and plays his trumpet in an effort to end his bored desperation.
