Cover art for If Only lyrics by Fiction Plane

Aside from the already-interpreted refrain..

"The old man’s been stealin’ She’s holding her grievance for a hundred-odd years We all keep believin’ That history repeats itself year after year

All I fear's that the future is worse We have to give in to a hundred-year curse"

The grandfather steals a pig,Zeroni holds a grudge,all following generations are wary of the curse.

"Sweat in the sun like we’re digging a grave Dig deep enough and our fortune is saved"

Dig deep enough, find Barlow's treasure, the camp shuts down being pointless now,Hector hires investigators to find his family,etc.

"Blisters and blood And the sun makes you blind"

References to the blood(from blisters),blisters(from shovel handles),and sweltering,blinding sun of Green Lake
