There is an old expression "aim for the sun and you will probably hit the moon" in other words if you set an impossible target and strive hard you will achieve more than you could normally. This is a great metaphor and philosophy.
I agree with Lucians take on the lyrics. It is also apparent that everyone has a different take on the hidden meanings and general storyline. A huge amount of songs are about being jilted or cheated in love therefore it is natural that the lover getting his own back theory is adopted by some. It is also possible to adopt a more general take in that this person is just making a statement that he is not downtrodden. He has taken part in LIFE the "silly game played in vain" and that there are no winners. He is simply pointing out that he has got the upper hand despite what others might think.
He is also down to earth, knows his roots and asks people not to judge others too harshly. All in all there are some pretty clever and powerful messages in these lyrics.
Lucian has said he is going to re-write and I wish him well. I think this song could be a commercial success but I hope the finished article does not cut out too many of the great images and metaphors he uses in the original. Musically it could and maybe should be tidied up. It does need a memorable chorus. It also needs a great performance especially the vocals. That is one area that Lucian could try to improve.
No disgrace in getting someone else to record them. I think others also mentioned that it detracts from an otherwise pretty good demo. All these things are not too difficult for him to fix.
