in 5.. almost 6 years why has nobody commented on this song??? this is one of THE very best songs written by Derek Webb.
It's about his lack taking of a stance on politics. Through out the song it makes many references to the story of Peter denying Jesus. He sees himself being like Peter, in that he is to proud of himself to admit that he may sin like the others. Pride that cause peter to deny Jesus 3 times. This connection between pride and politics is a bit confusing but they're clearly there through out the song. Perhaps he's too proud of thinking he's not sinful and doesn't want to promote something sinful by compromising his beliefs (like one must in choosing political sides).
