Lyric discussion by Peppeche 

Cover art for Young Men Dead lyrics by Black Angels, The

I agree, about young men fighting. The whole song is full of things that a young soldier would be told by a superior, presumably an officer or maybe (metaphorically) by his country.

I love the sound of the gritty guitar, it just seems to grind and roll its way through the entire 5 minutes

@Peppeche 100 percent agreed. Your interpretation is confirmed by the other songs on the Passover album.
