| Pedro the Lion – Winners Never Quit Lyrics

This comment pretty much sums up the album perfectly. I think the first song is basically just an allegory which explains the general theme of the album: A brother who has lost his way, and a brother who is self-righteous and is only in it for selfish reasons.
I'm not quite sure what this last song is though. I think it may be David himself saying that you don't need to be one of these holier-than-thou type people, because their reasons are not sincere. It is better to be a bit of a screw up with good intentions. |

I think the murder in this song is the girl's father who raped her. The "glow" is him justifying the murder by believing that she is happy with his death. |

My favorite song on the new album. It's about what sometimesmisguided said. He's thinking of a specific person who everyone wants for superficial reasons, whereas he is in love. |

Also, in the last part, (say the wings won't break) he is essentially saying that he does not want to die now because (after this reflection) he realizes he has contributed nothing to the world. |

This song is about the narrator considering his own death, and how he has never really done anything in his life to create any consequences if he died.
He never married, thus "no widows", never had a child. He goes on to state that he has no belief in a heaven or a hell, so he will basically just vanish from the Earth without an impact. |
