The song is about a man wanting to throw everything away and become "a loser" He wants to live an unsustainable lifestyle, sleep during the day, get high, drunk, gambling, have sex with prostitutes at night. Dreaming of learning the saxophone and playing at a high level is never going to happen because it takes years of discipline. Yet, he wants a grandiose title like the football team that never won; the Crimson Tide. If they can have a name which invokes a blood red unstoppable force, he should be able to have a name that invokes a title and attitude "Deacon Blues"
