Unwritten Letters
Unwritten Echoes of Sacrifice: Mouldy Grubs' Poignant War Tale
Lyrics
On a black bicycle
Setting the scene with a black bicycle.
In a green uniform
Describing a character in a green uniform.
They went to help the wounded men
They went to assist wounded individuals.
What were they fighting for
Raising the question of the purpose of their fight.
In their uniforms
Reflecting on the impact of war through uniforms.
Never to return again
Expressing the permanent loss of those in uniform.
Missed by familys and missed by friends
Highlighting the sorrow felt by families and friends.
Crawling through mud and rocks
Describing the harsh conditions soldiers faced, crawling through mud and rocks.
Terrified with shell shocks
Depicting the fear and trauma of shell shocks.
And the screams from all the men below
Conveying the horrifying sounds of war.
A kiss from the girl you love best
Highlighting a sentimental moment - a kiss from a loved one.
The heartbeat in her chest
Emphasizing the emotional connection through the heartbeat.
The sweet love and the afterglow
Reflecting on the positive aspects of love and its lingering effects.
Isn't it pretty to think so
Questioning the beauty of optimistic thoughts.
The poppies dance in the fields
Symbolizing remembrance with poppies dancing in fields.
There to remind us of what is real
Stressing the importance of remembering reality through symbols.
The war to end all wars
Referencing a war with the goal of ending all wars.
A chance to settle the score
Viewing war as an opportunity to settle disputes.
They're just like millions of red ambers
Comparing fallen soldiers to millions of red embers.
The souls to remember in November
Connecting souls to be remembered, particularly in November.
We heard it all before
Expressing skepticism, having heard similar sentiments before.
And we bet it's gonna happen once more
Predicting the recurrence of tragic events.
Blisters from mustard gas
Portraying physical consequences of war with blisters from mustard gas.
The broken down British tanks
Depicting the wreckage of British tanks.
A photo of a love back home
Evoking a sense of longing through a photo of a loved one back home.
A letter unwritten still
Highlighting the unwritten letters, symbolizing unfulfilled communication.
