Dread and the Fugitive Mind Lyrics

I think this is being taken a bit too deep. Sort of like Metallica's "Of Wolf And Man" isn't about alcoholism or drug abuse;its just about a werewolf. This song, to me, is outlining what a thief or what a criminal feels in their mind. It outlines their thought processes.

"What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgement? If I ’m right I lose nothing If you ’re right I lose it all"

That part of the song is just the way it looks. If the criminal is deemed to be the correct person in a court of law, they don't lose anything, but if they're prosecuted and say, sent to jail, they lose everything.
