This song is about war, more so from what I can tell as it was said World War II. There is one part that gives it away completely: "It's a world of hate / Gone incredibly wrong / We cared to late / We just followed along / And the boys went down / With their gun in their hand / Their weapon of choice / Their knees in the sand / If that field nearby / Was still there to be used / Would you ever have known? / Those words were for you".
When I think about that war from the 1940's, usually an picture this as it was when they were in Germany fighting against the Axis powers and also when they hit the shores in France on D-Day is more evident with the part "Their knees in the sand".
My grandfather was there and I've seen pictures. This song describes how men bonded creating their own band of brothers. Guys that became family/best friends.
I do notice that the one part states how we choose to get involved too late for the war, cause we were literally like one of the last few countries to step up and take action. I love how AVA did a song about this war!
