Lyric discussion by pierre.ar 

It's my opinion, and I may be wrong, is that it is a sort of sequel to The Island: Come and See/The Landlord's Daughter/You'll Not Feel The Drowning. The Island (I don't feel like typing all that over and over again), is first about the discovery of a new territory, then about a new society being built there (with all the attendant problems, then about the horrific end of that society. Sons & Daughters, on the other hand, is about the discovery of a new place, and the optimistic feeling of safety that comes with that. Where the people in The Island just wanted the land for expansion, the people in Sons & Daughters need it for safety. I also think it's the same Island. Maybe I'm reading too much into this. I think it should be "Here all the bombs fade away", as the song is about a place, not a sound.
