In Waves Lyrics

Cover art for In Waves lyrics by Trivium

I think the song is about the Japanese style of warfare in the Second World War, and since Matt is part-Japanese I could really believe that idea.

"I know that death approaches fast": he knows that he will die anyway in this battle

"In waves": waves of soldiers

"What's the purpose if this life won't last? Pulling everyone down with me.": sounds pretty much like the attitude of someone comitting Kamikaze, because, if he will die anyway, why would he die without taking the enemies with him?

Song Meaning

@xTEVINJAYx I totally agree with this. I've been watching a documentary on World War 2 and it mentioned the soldiers coming in Waves. Trivium suddenly entered my mind and I thought... that is what it's been about this whole time!
