Lyrics ↗What the lyrics are about
The song's narrative centers on a World War I soldier who suffers severe injuries from a land mine explosion, leaving him blind, deaf, paralyzed, and unable to communicate. Despite his desperate condition, he pleads with God for death. The accompanying music video depicts him attempting to contact hospital workers through involuntary movements that form Morse code spelling a distress signal.
