I'm going to be a jerk again and point out how easy it is to misconstrue anything. For instance, this song could be about Nazi Germany, and the rise of the Third Reich:
In 1915, the height of the first world war, Germany definitely had to make some tough choices, and lots of their choices at this point affected their history, and their tumble into the Nazi government. Still time for them indeed.
1922 was approaching the terrifying hyperinflation that crippled the country, not to mention the weakening government. It was around this time that Hitler was elected leader of the National Socialist party, and the timing of the Beerhall Putsch. "We're on fire" and "feels better than ever" for the party definitely applies.
1933 - Hitler takes power. He is a man, but also a they (The royal 'we', perhaps) in the sense that he alone controls an entire country ("family on my mind").
1945 - "the sea is high" and "heading into a crisis"? Couldn't be clearer.
Don't get me wrong, I love this song - I'm just poking fun at some people who can read anything out of anything at all!
