He also knows that soldiers are getting killed every day
He has no control over what will happen to his dad
Lightning keeps striking and he has no control over who it is striking.
they sound nice but i dont really take lyrics in, just the sound of the way the words are sung. but thats just me, i know a lot of pj freaks who need to know every word & meaning. i guess some songs are good for it but what about these:
i will walk with my face blood, into your garden of stone?
i thought the world, turns out the world thought me?
evacuaaaaation evacuaaaaation evacuaaaaation
So when I think about it in the context of my life I think about news that could shatter my child's happiness like lightening.
I have always thought the same thing. I think it is speaking about our choices, and what they will mean to our children's lives.
just a thought

"I can see it coming" - "it" could be anything negative; trauma, death, an accident, etc., but I think of the war and how it affects people who are in or close to it.
"looks like lightening in my child's eye" Have you ever seen a little kid get scared when there is a storm? Truly scared? The kind of lightening bolts that make your heart skip a beat, the hair stand up on the back of your neck and you can feel the electricity in the air. A child who is frightened will show it in their eyes- it speaks volumes. Their reaction to a bolt of lightening will show their fear- especially if they haven't experienced a storm before or a really bad one rolls through.
This same type of fear and reaction that strikes suddenly and unpredictably with war can cause the same reaction- you don't know who will be hit or when. But you know it will happen- that's where "I can see it coming" comes in. You know it's going to happen, you just don't know how bad, when, who, etc.

yeah that's kinda what i had in mind as well.
I think sometimes in order to understand the meaning of some lyrics or poems, you need to look at the whole picture, and feel, instead of thinking...
Most of the times, a line on a poem means many things, and thats what makes it so good, you know?
well, is really hard for me to express all of this in english, I hope you can understand at least some part of it
y esclavo de lo que habla.
The line to me means:
the mother can see the effect the war has had. She can "feel this war on her face" but she can also sense how other family members react. Her child, I take it to be a child not at war, but at home, has been so effected by the fact their father is at war, that the mother can sense the effect of the war just by looking at them.
I personally feel effected by the war, and this line is chilling. I kind of feel like it. I feel like the war has changed my life, I can feel the effect it has had on me.
So overall, the line I think refers to the feeling of impending doom this mom must feel, the feeling at any moment her son might be slaughtered. And it refers to the loss of innocence that the children of soldiers must feel. That they have to live with the fact that their father/mother may be killed in a war.
Ed and damien echols accomplished their goal here. To make the listener feel the pain that family's/loved ones of soldiers must feel
wow, thats awesome. thanks for bringing that to our attention.
does anyone else think Army Reserve should have went without a chorus, kind of like Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald? i just love stone and mikes guitar work in the song that the chorus just stops the flow of it. either way, amazing song.
Well, isn't it obvious??? It's about Eddie being really mad at stone because he put a new fence in his garden, and forgot to warn him about it...So he stumbled over it, and got his nose hurt (noses can bleed a lot)...
My grandma told me this story...
y esclavo de lo que habla.
lol hee hee!
