lol Johhny you covered everything except 'Peacekeeper'! That's to me what makes it more about Peace/War than the usual broken hearts club anthem.
PEACEKEEPER... dont be afraid to fight, love is the sweet surprise.
'Peacekeeper' doesn't imply 'loveseeker' to me at all - cause love is certainly not peace, at least not in the, as you said, cynical framework this song is presented in. No, I think 'Peacekeeper' and the whole 'War for Peace' is a whole new concept. But if you disregard those interpretations of 'peacekeeper', then the rest of the lyrics follow your 'lovelost' interpretation.
