White Lies is an English post-punk band that makes basically gloomy songs. It has the basic meaning but lots of various meanings in every line of lyrics of this song. The general meaning boils to the necessity to be freed from the danger and terror, to raise truth over lies, and to survive in the battle. There are several lines about the death of some guy named Jim, as he was gone in an hour clinging with his wings. And some other people gave the tags to the foreheads of killed people to count them as war casualties. Many times, you can listen to this song and many times find the facets of new essences.

Fifty on Our Foreheads Song Lyrics

On the cusp of vessel 18

A look of terror in our eyes

The moonlight licked the face of danger

Innocence made us like soldiers

Untouchable and golden

The 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'll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky

We were 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

Tallied 50 on our foreheads

With the pen your mother gave me in the Spring

The sun beat at the windows

Within an hour James had cracked

Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings

Start burning in the sky...
