	the way he says "i've got my eye on the finish line" is kinda of creepy, lol, but all in all this is a good song, and pedro is amazing

	(whimper) so sad. i think you can tell he wants to join her in heaven. i would too.

No Picture Thomas Average	#3 by Thomas Buckman at May 16, 1974 at 12:39 AM EST
	I'm suprised that more people haven't posted for this song, I think it's probably my favorite one on Winners Never Quit.

No Picture James Average	#4 by James Newsome at Oct 15, 1977 at 5:48 AM EST
	I get the vibe that he killed his wife/lover, but maybe she just died another way. In either case, he's contemplating his suicide following her death.

No Picture Dylan Average	#5 by Dylan Donovan at Feb 18, 1978 at 1:28 PM EST
	Without having heard the whole album, and with little idea of any intended meaning for this song, I just hear the sad rendition of some sort of sacrifice - especially with lines like "Though I've been striving for their good, I will be misunderstood". I can't see the part where the narrator killed his wife/lover, maybe she just got caught in the crossfire of something bigger than both of them...

	I don't know how you can say Bazan is seriously referencing Christ in this song. The album is about him killing his wife and his works around this time are just sopped with sarcastic, bitter hate. I think this song is about some delirious post-murder period. He constantly remains "faithful" despite bad things, most obvious during the first track and this one. He's satirizing blind faith while embodying hatred for his ex-wife.

No Picture chris Wanna Be	#7 by chris valverde at Feb 17, 1987 at 1:00 AM EST
	When i first heard this song, i hadn't taken into consideration the story around which the album revolves. I thought it was as if quoting Christ. "Though I've been striving for their good, i will be misunderstood..." and so on. This seems especially apparent when considering Bazaan's earlier works, a lot of which proclaim his Christian faith directly. But considering the themes of everything after Winners Never Quit, i almost wonder if he were combining the two. I wonder if this entire album is written as if quoting God (i.e. Christ, in Bazaan's case at least) and questioning his purpose. To me the entire album seems to question the universal nature of God. But maybe we weren't supposed to read into it that far. Maybe it's just a meaningless story.

	"I've got my eye on the finish line" This week, in the wake of the shootings at virginia tech, these lyrics can be so haunting when you think of all the hurt and pain the narrator is leaving behind to innocent people.

No Picture Brandon Average	#9 by Brandon Weathers at Feb 16, 1994 at 3:23 AM EST
	The song is sad but in a really sick twisted way. I mean he isn't sorry for what he did at all but blames his wife and others for not understanding and claims himself a martyr. He just got finished killing his wife!

No Picture kevin Rhythm Player	#10 by kevin jeung at Jul 29, 1994 at 6:57 AM EST
	I think this song is about the post killing of his wife, where he realizes that his ambitions are over. The line "I've got my eye on the finish line" is almost ironic in the fact that he can see the end but cant reach it. I also believe he kills himself at the end of this song, which would lead into Bad things to such good people, with the drunken brother at his funeral

No Picture Bobby Lead Player	#11 by Bobby Parker at Mar 3, 1998 at 8:20 AM EST
	I've got that killing idea too, looking at it from the 'Winners Never Quit-perspective'
