I'm not a fan of authorial intent... I like to make my own meaning from what people say. Anyway here is a line by line brake down.

The title is a reflection of the 'Are we the baddies?' meme, symbolizing the realization that capitalism causes much of the world’s suffering. 'We are all soldiers pre-manufactured' speaks to the idea that capitalism sows the seeds of its own down fall; that once you recognize that capitalism is full of lies, you begin to fight against it. 'Asleep in a psychedelic liquid' and 'awash in false memory' represent how we are drowning in propaganda, while 'fractured' refers to the division within the proletariat. 'To one day wake full of righteous anger toward our enemy' is about the intense anger that comes with waking up to the reality of oppression. 'Built to hate the systems embedded within us' reflects how capitalism has ingrained itself within us, and how hard we’ll have to work to undo that. 'Assembled' could refer to the masses putting bodies in spaces or to individuals being shaped from birth. 'With a destructive lust' speaks to our revolutionary potential, and 'to live only in our dreams' touches on a utopian vision of the world, as well as my personal experience with people (mostly liberals) telling me that communism works in theory but not in practice.

thank you for your interest in what I was saying.
