"You change all the lead/Sleeping in my head to gold" is probably a reference to alchemy, and the idea of changing something ordinary into something special. I think it's a description of someone special to you and how being with that person makes you feel

I'm not a Christian, hell I'm not even sure if I belive in God or not, but for some reason I find that I can't stop myself from singing along with the end of this song whenever I hear it. |

| The PAper ChAse – At the Other End of the Leash Lyrics

First off, this is probably my favorite track off of "Now You Are One of Us."
I think the meaning of this song is pretty clear. This one is about a man who had a one night stand/moment of indiscretion with a woman ("this isolated incident") who's involved with somebody else, and he's become obsessed with her. He's jealous of the other man ("if he touches you again with those grubby little hands, I'll have to break them"), to the point that he's fantasized about killing him ("chopped up to bits"). There's also some implication that the other man is abusive, specifically the line about a wheelchair and leg braces. He wants the woman to leave the other man ("So won't it feel good to admit this isolated incident don't need a reason") and be with him. The last verse is the life he imagines he'll have with her.
