Victory Lyrics
All of us lonely, it aint a sin
to want something better, then the shape your in
the rain came at the break of day
your light in the windowpane, said come on in
Its a broken heart babe, i know the sound
Feels like your hands, are nailed to the ground
but it'll pass just like everything else
you won't let it get to me, the next time around
Its a hard earn victory
The life that come from you to me
can never be wrong
Grown from a moment and a million miles
here lies the stardust and it slowly dies
borrowed from nothing come back half alive
and the stars the whisper blessings as you walk by
to want something better, then the shape your in
the rain came at the break of day
your light in the windowpane, said come on in
Feels like your hands, are nailed to the ground
but it'll pass just like everything else
you won't let it get to me, the next time around
The life that come from you to me
can never be wrong
here lies the stardust and it slowly dies
borrowed from nothing come back half alive
and the stars the whisper blessings as you walk by

My favorite song by them. Uhg, love it.
"It's a broken heart babe, I know the sound, feels like your hands are nailed to the ground, it'll pass just like everything else."
I think it's about getting over a breakup that was also had great love, a victory.
Wonderful tune. I feel the narrator has met (and fell in love with) a girl who is still heart broken from her last relationship. It's upsetting that she is in such a bad state, but at the same time, if she hadn't gone through the break-up, then he may never have had the opportunity to meet her. So although he has empathy for her broken heart, he points out that the break-up was a blessing in disguise, because it led them to each other. "the life that came from you to me could never be wrong"
I interpreted the lines
It's a hard earn victory The life that come from you to me Can never be wrong
where "The life that came from you to me" was the child of the narrator/singer, and the "hard earned victory" being the death of the mother, possible in childbirth given the old timey style of the band.
or, rather, "hard earned victory" - the death of the wife, but the successful delivery of the child was a hard earned victory. He was victorious in getting his child, but at the cost of his wife, thus being hard earned.

but still missing his wife, so he is lonely, and see's her in things like "the light in the windowpane" which bring comfort to him in times of metaphorical storm (rain came at the break of day).
