Discover the story of the song > Chest Candy – Stray From the Path

The song is about the military and the way they manipulate young people. The protagonist is questioning why they recruit drifters and disposable youth and trade their souls for medals. They are angry at the propaganda used to justify war and want to tell their recruiters "fuck you." The song ends with the repeated line "send 'em to the furnace, thank you for your service" which is a sarcastic take on how soldiers are treated as disposable.
