It's about the average hard working family man who lives to provide for his family (I'm a martyr to myself and a hero to my family). He once had dreams of what he hoped he would become in life but now his only source of happiness is the whiskey he drinks along with others who share the same fate as him as they drink to those who found the sweet escape of death (departed friends). Frustration builds up in his household probably because they are poor regardless of how hard he works (shared frustration that makes us fight).
