So I'm just running with my same old theory about how the theme is about 'War for Peace', as this explains all the lyrics.
UNLESS Myndpeace and Johnny can come with some credible explanations for those respective lines!!

Ah, but I did offer an explanation for the usage of the word "peacekeeper"... although whether it's credible or not is entirely up to the reader!
Alas, I made the unfortunate, and completely self-defeating, choice of
first doing a "what if" in regards to Stevie being the "peacekeeper"... and that seems to be the only aspect of my interpretation that people are focusing on.
No one seems to have noticed the comment that followed....

In a more universal way... the "peacekeeper" could be anyone who tries to make a relationship work. Sometimes sacrificing who they are in the process.

THAT is who I really think the "peacekeeper" is.
Someone who has worked hard to make their relationships work out. Who's given their all, to the point where they feel tapped-out, and doubtful of whether or not they can continue on.
My whole Stevie/Peacekeeper scenario was just meant as a silly aside... given however much weight one wanted to bring to it.
