A dear heart, a small part, I could have tried more
A sweet smell, a thin shell, a farewell, I should've cried more
I don't eat, I don't sleep, I just fight but what I long for
Is a safe place, a kind face, the sweet taste I nearly died for
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood on your hands getting colder
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood in your veins getting colder
They boil squid in their own ink, their money's all spent
We don't own, we just rent, it's not home until the cheque's sent
But it's too late, the locks break, I won't let them take it all away
Wrong or right, I just fight to keep my world safe
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood on your hands getting colder
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood in your veins getting colder
Another soldier
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood on your hands getting colder
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood in your veins getting colder
A sweet smell, a thin shell, a farewell, I should've cried more
I don't eat, I don't sleep, I just fight but what I long for
Is a safe place, a kind face, the sweet taste I nearly died for
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood on your hands getting colder
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood in your veins getting colder
They boil squid in their own ink, their money's all spent
We don't own, we just rent, it's not home until the cheque's sent
But it's too late, the locks break, I won't let them take it all away
Wrong or right, I just fight to keep my world safe
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood on your hands getting colder
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood in your veins getting colder
Another soldier
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood on your hands getting colder
Another soldier, another soldier,
Another hit to the heart when they told you
Another mistake, another heartache,
You feel the blood in your veins getting colder

I reckon Dan's lost someone to the war. He feels it's his fault, referring to the first verse "A dear heart, a small part, I could have tried more A sweet smell, a thin shell, a farewell, I should've cried more I don't eat, I don't sleep, I just fight but what I long for Is a safe place, a kind face, the sweet taste I nearly died for"
And I think everybody's trying to take his mind off things but he sees them as trying to make him forget about his rested loved one. He is bold and protects the memory of his friend/ lover : "But it's too late, the locks break, I won't let them take it all away Wrong or right, I just fight to keep my world safe" Anyone agree?
