i love this song. it expresses the frustration of being alone in a way only sam beam can. it develops from lofty images of a dream to the beast of war and ends on the same personal level on which it began. so delicate.
pay attention to the subjects and where they are. he speaks of she, he, i, sara jones, and we. SHE (possibly sara jones) is weeping in her room. HE wrote a letter from a foundered boat. I will be alone once the train track takes the soldiers home. and WE lie on the floor. there are at least 3 characters in this story. something to think about...
I guess the "I" refers to "he"
Here quotes a few lines from his letter to her
and the following "we" refers to "he" and his soldier comrades
thus there're altogether two characters in this song
