I agree with all these. It's a powerful song and is about not giving up. It's also very meaningful as

SPOILER you play as Jack at the end and fight to avenge John's death. So you literally get "your hands on a dead man's gun" and by "looking down the sights" it means you're fighting for what he was fighting for :) as Jack goes to kill Edgar for killing John. As Landon Rickets says in multiplayer when you avenge (maybe others too I don't know) "An eye for an eye" /SPOILER :)
