Meaning - is about a letter that was written to verbally destroy a man’s image.
Lyrics
The Letter
I read the letter a thousand times
and every word it got darker
I couldn’t believe all the things they said
What were they thinking if anything
Oh, and what they did to you
Again, and what they did to you
My friend, and what they did to you
in the letter
Pay no attention to consequence
seek out the truth for injustice
ignore attempts when they call your name
don’t count the stones that are constantly thrown at you
Out of here is where no one feels certain
By simple ways I learnt to live my life
I’ve seen my friends in the faces of strangers
in other towns in foreign places
