It's about a woman who takes in a political dissident or 'enemy of the state' and shelters him, caring for him... but the pressure gets to her and she "folds" by turning him in, which she feels horrible about.
As for Pilate... Pontius Pilate is a religious figure; someone who would stand up for his beleifs as long as it did not include any personal sacrifice. According to the Church, Pilate believed Jesus was innocent and did not want to execute him... but while fellow leaders called for Jesus's execution, Pilate sat by idly. "True evil is the complacency of good men".. or something like that.
But anyways... what the line "Like Pilate I have a dog" is referring to isn't the bible, but a book by a member of the Soviet Union called "The Master and Margarita". This is truly an amazing book, and at one point the author incorporate biblical figures into the story... anyways.. at one point, Pontius Pilate is being tortured and facing punishment, yet all the while, all he does is long for his dog... hope that gives u a sense of what it means.
Breath is about getting the F out of a small town and making a difference.
Yellow Ledbetter got it's name from a friend of Eddie's, Tim Ledbetter; and the lyrics are mostly improv. But in all versions there tends to be a sense of loss and regret... but I'm pretty sure this doesn't have anything to do with Mr. Ledbetter himself.
