Piano
Hammerforce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Father used to play the piano
Down in the dining room
But the autumn came
He was taken away
By the cruel doom

Gone to war
Home under threat
Far away
Gone he had

Mom weeps at night
Treats me right
Telling nothing about the dad
Once we were knocked




At the door
We got a letter

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hammerforce's song Piano paint a vivid picture of a family torn apart by war. The opening line of "Father used to play the piano / Down in the dining room" sets a nostalgic and sentimental tone, evoking memories of happier times. However, this sense of warmth and comfort is short-lived as the lyrics quickly take a darker turn: "But the autumn came / He was taken away / By the cruel doom." The father figure is torn away by the ravages of war, leaving his family broken and bereft.


The lyrics continue to paint a portrait of a family in crisis in the wake of the father's disappearance. The mother "weeps at night" but "treats [the singer] right," while refusing to reveal anything about the father's fate. The family's hopes are briefly raised when they receive a letter, but it's unclear whether this brings any news of the father's whereabouts or simply confirms his absence. Overall, the lyrics are a poignant reflection on the impact of war on families and the way it can shatter lives and tear apart what once seemed unbreakable.
