Is this about Rob?
-
I don't get that at all. I get Rob on Born Feral, but not on EN. Bit clueless on where EN come from at all to be honest. Echo November in the phonetic alphabet is EN, obviously, but that isn't helping me either. If anything, I'd say Tommy Tee, but I'm out on a limb here.

Maybe its a updated take on the book of the same name, not read it personally but I think its about Russian American tensions . A total shot in the dark

I don't see how that could be got from the lyrics at all.
Fireworks Night on Carnival was a very candid and personal song about Rob Heaton, and I don't think it left anything unsaid/in need of repeating.

Certainly a link with the phonetic alphabet. I think the song may have more to do with the current state of affairs though.
Love the lyrics, especially 'the sound of something praying'.

Obviously there was something left unsaid. "Ghost" on BDAW was very much about Rob.

I didn't pick up on that as it was 'Ghosts' pluralised. Saw it more about the universal way in which losing loved ones changes us, and how they tend to 'haunt us' in our heads and hearts.

From listening to it over again, I get that it's about Rob in particular and the history of the band in general. 'Shouted out from the city walls, but they were too busy fighting'. That's surely about not finding a wider audience? Or am I being to literal?
