Alexisonfire – Waterwings (And the Other Pool Side Fashion Faux Pas) Lyrics 16 years ago
you always had the blondest hair.
-just relating the blonde hair to the chlorine. there is a chemical (chlorine), almost like bleach, that can dye your hair really blonde. he was just being sarcastic about that part.

Chlorine has stripped the pigment from
your skin.
-his father is aging, he's pale, and just doesnt look like himself

The cash was worth the fucking change.
-asking "was the cash worth what you got in the end?"

At the pool from open to close.
-like his dad was around the drugs/dealers/drug addict buddies all the time & never was home with his family

Rake the bottom for loose change.
-took money & belongings from family members?


A job that got him his luxurious house and cars but it probably lead to his divorce.
-again, his father is a dealer & he chose the money & drugs over his family

Its probably the reason
why his son hates him.
-because the father chose the drug over his own kid

Now your blood is so toxic with chlorine that you
only have 3 months to live.
-he does so much drugs & it probably lead to some kind of disease / problem with vital organs and what not


Was the change worth it? Was the divorce worth
it?
-asking "was the drugs worth losing EVERYTHING?"

You will never see your son again.
-just basically saying I dont want to see you again, you'll never be my father again, you're just the drug now. the drug has basically consumed you.

-------

this song really touches me.
I think it's about a boy & how
his father has an addiction to
heroin. & how his father chose
the drug over him & his family
& now he resents his father for
all the pain he put him and his
family through.


but god, do i love this song...=\
