Gerda Taro was a war photojournalist in the late 40s/early 50s. She died in her line of work when a tank collided into the side of a car she was riding on. The other important name in this song was Gerdas romantic interest, and colleague, Robert Capa. During the First Indochina War, Capa retreated from his Jeep in a hostile war zone to take pictures. He stepped on a landmine which blew apart his left leg. He was taken to a medical station where he died with his camera in his hand. Taro died while doing that job years before Capa did. Taros death is the warning to Capa of how dangerous their job can be, Do not spray into eyes. But, Capa ignores this and even knowing full well, he still continues to do that job until it kills him as well, I have sprayed you into my eyes.
