This and The Suburbs are my favorite songs of the album.
From my point of view, the whole album thaks about the grown up, the suburbs refers to their childhood, and each song its a chapter in life, check out the lyrics of each song in the right order, and perhaps you will agree with me.
I think "Suburban War" its about choosing different paths in life and leaving the past behind, go away from the suburbs. In this song he went back to his old town, and without the people he used to know its like visiting a new strange place. They used to live in the suburbs together till the person he talks to in the song choose his/her own path and after that, evertone else do the same thing. The "cut of hair" means the way to go and the "grew of hair" its the time walking across that path. All the final paragraph could mean that he had walk away from his friends paths, and thats why they dont know him now.
