Lyrics
On and on
Expressing continuity or persistence
You're told which side you're on
Being instructed or influenced to choose a side
You're forced, you're thrown
Compelled or thrown into a situation
To become side as to cut the corn
Forced to align with a particular perspective, like cutting corn along a side
Aah
Exclamation, possibly expressing emotion or realization
And all your friends they
Friends collectively
Ride into the sunset
Embarking on a journey or transition
Fly into the sunset
Moving away swiftly, possibly with a sense of finality
And away they blow
Departing and scattering
And all your friends they
Repetition of friends leaving, reinforcing the theme
Ride into the sunset
Similar to line 8, emphasizing departure
Fly into the sunset
Continuing the imagery of friends flying away
And away they're thrown
Friends being thrown away or discarded
Into the fire
Transitioning into a challenging or intense situation
Ten below
Numerical reference, possibly indicating extreme conditions
The call come on the radio
Receiving a message or communication via radio
Ahh
Exclamation, signaling a moment of realization or surprise
Over you go
Proceeding or moving forward
And the red now all the rivers flow
The color red symbolizing intensity, and rivers flowing with change
The poppies grow
A reference to poppies growing, possibly symbolizing remembrance or sacrifice
All your friends they
Reiteration of friends departing into the sunset
Ride into the sunset
Repeating the image of friends flying away
Fly into the sunset
Continuing the theme of friends flying into the sunset
And away they're blown
Friends being blown away, emphasizing departure
All your friends they
Friends departing into the sunset again
Ride into the sunset
Friends arriving into the sunset, possibly suggesting a cyclic nature
Arrive into the sunset
Repetition of friends arriving, hinting at a continuous cycle
And they're taken home
Friends being taken home, possibly signifying a destination or finality
Open fire
Command or call to initiate a fire
Open fire
Repetition of the command to open fire
Open fire
Continuation of the command to open fire
Open fire
Repeating the instruction to open fire
Open fire
Further repetition, possibly emphasizing urgency or intensity
And fire
Just arrived, possibly signaling the arrival of a significant event or consequence
Just arrived, the fire
Emphasis on the presence of fire, possibly as a metaphor for a crisis or conflict
