If I had to guess, I would say this song is about the departure of former guitarist Al Glassman. He joined Despised Icon in 2006 or 2007 and quit in 2008 to join Job for a Cowboy. I haven't read or heard anything about the split, but the lyrical references support my theory.
"It merely took a year for your pledge to disappear."
-referring to his brief membership with Despised Icon
"May the desert bring you comfort."
-Job for a Cowboy is from Arizona
"Enjoy your precious game of cowboys and Indians."
-Clearly, a reference to Job for a Cowboy.
Like I said, purely speculation....But yeah...great song, great album! I was fucking thrilled to hear Despised Icon step it up and go completely balls to the wall!
