I think My Rival is about having a child (probly a boy).
one clue...
"I still recall when I first held
Your tiny hand in mine"
but the other clue,
"Sure he's a jolly roger
Until he answers for his crime"
i think this part means that he stole his father's heart (the singer)
This song also could mean how having a child takes attention away from the father and is now put on the child and this is what the singer is singing about.
