Actually this song is about the lead singer who wrote the lyrics. And the one that dries his eyes is God and the comfort he brings.
"August Winterman is about my biggest fight - which is with myself. See - I am a perfectionist - which means if everything isnt exactly the way I want it to be or how I think it should be, then I get frustrated - to the point that it's just not healthy. Perfectionism reaches a point where it is very harmful to your mental health - with me, sometimes it reaches that point. The beginning of the song states "and if i could teach the world to be, I'd teach them all to be something just like me.." this is me wanting everyone to do things like I would do them. But the way I do things only makes me "frustrated, bitter and depressed." The Chorus is "perfect -as if my wings were like yours" is like i begin to think that i am godly - as if my wings were like Gods.. but theyre not, and I'm falling down (because I have no wings)
the second verse is about when my loved ones get frustrated with me - because i'm this way. but really all i want to do is love people, but my flesh and my selfishness gets in the way of that. I only want to love people - but sometimes thats hard.
the end is about how god is the only one who can cure this disease. and how sometimes I hate who I am when I'm at my worst... "-Brandon (the lead singer of DP)
