Pedro the Lion – Almost There Lyrics 20 years ago
Concerning Christianity and David Bazaan, it's obvious that i couldn't speak for him, but it seems apparent to me that by the time control and headphones and achilles heel rolled around, i doubt he is still the same church kid he was when he wrote the Whole EP and It's Hard to Find a Friend. Maybe i'm way off, but he seems to have matured further up the chain of spiritual evolution.

Pedro the Lion – Eye on the Finish Line Lyrics 20 years ago
When i first heard this song, i hadn't taken into consideration the story around which the album revolves. I thought it was as if quoting Christ. "Though I've been striving for their good, i will be misunderstood..." and so on. This seems especially apparent when considering Bazaan's earlier works, a lot of which proclaim his Christian faith directly. But considering the themes of everything after Winners Never Quit, i almost wonder if he were combining the two. I wonder if this entire album is written as if quoting God (i.e. Christ, in Bazaan's case at least) and questioning his purpose. To me the entire album seems to question the universal nature of God. But maybe we weren't supposed to read into it that far. Maybe it's just a meaningless story.
