Arsonists Get All the Girls – Shoeshine For Neptune Lyrics 17 years ago
After reading the lyrics to this song it is evident that he kills his girl by drowning her with cement shoes. This is done due to the fact that the "sea king" Neptune requests this from him. The man which is likely going through a difficult time must be experiencing symptoms of psychotic behavior when he is "told" by Neptune to kill his girl. It seems as though she did something to upset him when he says "you tapped my phones". Invading someones privacy in such a way can reveal twisted secrets. Upon the discovery of this she must of slipped something in his drink. When he realizes this he throws her in the trunk and gets going. By the time he gets to the coast line and kills her the effects of the poison take full affect. He falls to his knees. He sinks down into the ocean and dies. This can be confirmed when he says "as i sink down i remember what the sea king said: "you die here"". At the end of the song he says:
"i am my own victim
i was meant this way either way
you tapped my phones
i made the set up
it was meant to be Neptune's plan
no fate involved"

This seems to imply that he was going to commit suicide this way regardless. Conclusion, he dies with his girl at the bottom of the ocean where he plans on meeting Neptune in his after life since he suggested this solution which resolved his problems.
