Lyric discussion by Shotgunn 

Cover art for Man O' War lyrics by Casiotone for the Painfully Alone

By far my favourite song from Vs. Children.

It seems to me that the first verse obviously describes the death of a father, and the second verse describes the ongoing effect that this has had on the child who was aged 9 when his father was killed by jellyfish.

Sorry, I meant "her father". Clearly a girl.
