The song "I Understand" by Jack Stauber seems to describe someone who has gone through some difficult experiences, possibly relating to breaking the law or being in trouble with the law. They have learned to mend their heart through practice and try to do good when they are in town by holding someone's hand. The lyrics mention bending with a bandit, possibly implying that this person has had to associate with questionable characters in their life. However, they seem to have reached a point of understanding and acceptance of their past actions. There is a line about not wanting to be called on the stand, which could mean they do not want to testify in court. However, they have found some kind of comfort or understanding in a "pod" where they have met someone's God. Overall, the meaning of the song is somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation, but it seems to touch on themes of redemption, understanding, and acceptance of one's past mistakes.
