LastBaron is the closest to the 'true meaning' of the song. Good job.

Cliff Campbell:

"that song was about just never fucking knowing what's going to happen. You never know from day to day. You just try your best and try to get the top, but it doesn't matter in the end; it's all just the fucking flip of a coin."

But the beauty of music is that it's not necessary to interpret it as the artist portrays it. Artists generally want you figure out what the song 'means to you'.

Great fucking song regardless.

Cheers.
