Fifty on Our Foreheads Lyrics
On the cusp of vessel eighteen,
A look of terror in our eyes, The moonlight licked the face of danger, Innocence made us like soldiers, Untouchable and golden, A quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops... I know you're sad i'm leaving, So this may hurt a little, But girl, look from your window late tonight... You think my heart is frozen, While yours is slowly grieving, You see the boy you love start burning in the sky. You are a dozen to the project, With a galaxy of questions, And all we heard was lies about the truth. No choice but be obedient, Like prisoners of war, Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth. We thought about our loved ones, Tallying fifty on our foreheads, With the pen your mother gave me in the spring. The sun beat at the windows, Within an hour James had cried. Let the shipment die, still clinging to the wind. Start burning in the sky... Start burning in the sky... Start burning in the sky... Start burning in the sky...

"On the cusp of vessel eighteen,

Untouchable and golden,

They're heading off for war, where their innocence will soon be lost and probably filled with sadness at the prospect of what/who they're leaving behind, hense the "teardrops" on the "quilt of darkness".
"I know you're sad i'm leaving,
So this may hurt a little,
But girl, look from your window late tonight...
You think my heart is frozen,
While yours is slowly grieving,
You see the boy you love start burning in the sky."
Sung to the girl he loves that he's leaving behind. He's telling her not to worry and that, no matter what happens, he still loves her and always will.
I think that's enough to explain what I think, but if you look through the rest of the lyrics you can probably draw the same conclusions, because this is long enough already. Haha. :)
