At face value, this song paints a good picture of a post apocalyptic world. Not bathing, killing animals for food, painting the walls with plants, makeshift bombs, couldn't use computers, etc. all help to emphasize this point. Weekend Wars could be likened to other people, or possibly tribes, raiding and looting and the singer is trying to defend himself from them. "100 years to grow an arm" might refer to radiation from the bombs.
The weirdest part of the song is the "Mystics in twisted metal cars". They could be "prophets" of doom going on about how they were right, or people who have a futile desire for peace.
All of this said I think the song compares very well to fighting in a relationship. It all depends how deep you read into it.
