I think this one's talking about how frightening this life is. War, gangs, shootings, and just all around shitty people.

"flat line no pulse but eyes open
single file like the soldiers on a mission
if there's no war outside our heads
why are we losing?"

talking about there is really war going on! its not just in our heads, people are dying! And the chorus pretty much explains itself

"I don't ask for much, truth be told I'll settle for a life less frightening, a life less frightening"

LOVE Rise Against! they sing about real life things but ya different for everyone but this is how I see this song.
