Cover art for Soldier's Daughter lyrics by Tonic

"did he poison your views with the water he was raised on"

This is about a girl who is trying to find herself. She has a bad relationship with her dad, but I don't think the song is dwelling on that. It seems to focus more on her life NOW!

"there's nothing sacred here" meaning, ON EARTH.

they are just saying, don't consume your head with hatred for someone who has done something wrong to you, instead, "keep dancing alone" because your life can still hold many great things/feelings before it's time to leave ...

"sweet soldiers daughter ... " is moving in a way that you have to be in the right mindset and in the right setting for it to REALLY touch your heart and sink into your brain. But the combination is overwhelming!
