Q&A
White Dove Lyrics
I met my new neighbor
Had a drink on her veranda
And watched the ocean batter Bonita Point
"Do you have any children?"
Air around us changed
As grief washed across her face
White dove, white dove
White dove, white dove
What are you thinking of?
We had a daughter
Disappeared at eight
We gave them money
All we could do was wait
She's found
Garroted, bound
White dove, white dove
White dove, white dove
What are you thinking of?
Don't come around here no more
It's not about mercy
Not about tears anymore
White dove, white dove
What are you thinking of?
Sword of vengeance
Occupies my mind
Who would do such a horrible crime?
Across the Qadaas
Killing off our side
Walking bombs
Don't wear camouflage
White dove, white dove
What are you thinking of?
Don't come around here no more
It's not about mercy
Not about tears anymore
White dove, white dove
What are you thinking of?
Had a drink on her veranda
And watched the ocean batter Bonita Point
Air around us changed
As grief washed across her face
White dove, white dove
What are you thinking of?
Disappeared at eight
We gave them money
All we could do was wait
She's found
Garroted, bound
White dove, white dove
What are you thinking of?
It's not about mercy
Not about tears anymore
White dove, white dove
What are you thinking of?
Occupies my mind
Who would do such a horrible crime?
Across the Qadaas
Killing off our side
Walking bombs
Don't wear camouflage
What are you thinking of?
Don't come around here no more
It's not about mercy
Not about tears anymore
What are you thinking of?

White Dove is about how when horrible things happen to us, it can cause us to lose our humanity and abandon all possibility of forgiveness. And within the context of the album, it is of course about how once we do that, we can do horrible things like fly planes into buildings, or invade other countries without good cause.
pretty sure your Disappeared at [Aix?] is disappeared at eight.
as in age eight
This is the saddest song ever.
yeah it's so sad...but the tune isn't...in fact it kinda makes me want to dance a little...
It's such a great song though, so powerful with the white dove symbolizing peace, when, in fact, the song is anything but peaceful. Actually quite disturbing.
Yeah, I believe senatorface is correct. Sounds like he sings " Disappeared at eight"
Y'all were correct about "eight". Corrected that, along with Bonita Point - http://www.rudyalicelighthouse.net/CalLts/PtBonita/PtBon99.htm
I was reminded this song existed today. I love it despite it's depressing subject matter.
Qadaas is a reference to Palestine?
A Qadaa is the word for an administrative division for a bunch of countries in the Middle East, like Iraq. It's a lot like a county.
