Hey John, thanks so much for your compliments!

At first people may be taken aback by Kathy Keogh's lyrics. And for good reason as the title is, well a bit scary.

But yes, you're right -- the lyrics aren't about gun violence at all, but about Kathy's use of military imagery on what appears to a very poor relationship. Note her opening lines: "your eyes are army green, your head is camouflage, you're wearin' your heart half-mast like a flag, ten-gun salute." She is essentially using a military motif to describe a relationship that has gone sour.

And, like you said, this is more about I'm going to get you before you get me (but not in a violent way).
