Is Nick Berry More than We Think?

Today, for reasons unassociated with this moment, I was deconstructing Nick Berry's groundbreaking song, "Every looser Wins," and in it  found a depth and poinancy I was genuinly not expecting.  Is this a Threnody for the Victims of The Hegemony?  I'll let you decide,

Every Looser Wins

We nearly made it 
We nearly found the perfect combination 
The road was right, we must have read the signs wrong 
And now it's all gone 

But if we'd made it 
Could we be sure that it was for the better 
Who could say we would have stayed together 
Nothing is certain, in a changing world 

Every loser wins, once the dream begins 
In time we'll see, fate holds the key 
And every loser knows, the light eternal shows 
Will shine on you, and all those who knew 
We nearly made it 

Suddenly we seemed to stop and lose our way 
But did it really matter anyway 
For that was yesterday 
And we must live for now 

Coz every loser wins, once the dream begins 
In time we'll see, fate holds the key 
And every loser knows, the light eternal shows 
Will shine on you, and all those who knew 
We nearly made it 

Stand up and count me 
I know you're on my side 
Shine down on me 
And those who believe 
That we can make it
