Lyrics
Waves of reeds
Reference to the movement or pattern of reeds resembling waves
In the shape of the sea
Metaphorical depiction of the reeds shaping like the sea
Take cover
Call to take cover, suggesting a need for secrecy or hiding
We’re worried you might be seen
Concern that someone might be observed or detected
And I’ll send the letter bomb
Declaration of intention to send a letter bomb
Then I’ll explode
Expressing the act of detonating or causing an explosion
Waves of grief
Reference to waves of grief, emotional turmoil
I taste your disease
Symbolic tasting of someone's disease, possibly metaphorical pain
I’m a nomad all weathered and old
Identification as a weathered and old nomad, implying experience
And I’ll send the letter bomb
Reiteration of the intention to send a letter bomb
Then I’ll explode
Reiteration of the act of exploding, emphasizing intensity
Then I’ll explode
Repetition of the declaration to explode, reinforcing the message
Explode
Direct mention of the word "explode" as an intense action
Explode
Repetition of the word "explode," emphasizing the explosive nature
Then I’ll explode
Reiteration of the intention to explode, building anticipation
Explode
Continuation of the theme of explosion, intensifying the message
Explode
Repetition of "explode," adding to the overall emphasis on the act
Explode
Final repetition of "explode," concluding the song with impact
