Waterwings (And the Other Pool Side Fashion Faux Pas) Lyrics
You always had the blondest hair.
Chlorine stripped your skin pigment.
The cash was worth the fucking change.
At the pool from open to close.
Rake the bottom for loose change.
A job that paid for the luxury.
(The image still hurts my eyes)
But it probably lead to his divorce.
(White chlorine burns so bright)
It's probably the reason why his son hates him
(Sometimes I fear the night. When addiction became surprise)
Now your blood is so toxic
So toxic with chlorine that you only have three months left to live.
(Red stained eyes. Red stained eyes)
Was the, the change worth it?
(Red!)
Was the
(Stained!)
Divorce
(Eyes!)
Worth it?
(Red!)
Now you will
(Stained!)
Never
(Eyes!)
See your son again
(RED!)
Red!

This song is absolutely amazing... One of my favorites from the CD... the lyrics are quite obvious really.. i see it as a rich couple hires a pool boy(man)... who ends of falling for the wife.. and ends up marrying her and deserting his son.
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.

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...=\
damn. . . i think your right semen. by the way Dallas Green is singing (the image still hurts my eyes- sung by other guitarist wade) white chlorine burns so bright, sometimes i fear the night when addiction became suprise...red stained eyes
this song kicks assssss
pretty much one of my fav songs ever.
anyone know where to find alexisonfire lyrics with the background vocals (not the screamo parts)?
I always thought this song was about a drug problem that tore the family apart. Cholrine could be heroin. I maybe completely wrong.
i think you could be right about the coke addiction. the video is pretty cool too. vellox the lyrics are here.
the image still hurts my eyes white chlorine burns so bright sometimes i fear the night when addiction became suprise red stained eyes
Anyone see the video to this song? It's awesome.
It opens with a thirty second speech in Latin, and then just goes nuts from there. Download it if you can find it.
yea, this song is totally amazing, even better live. this video also kicks some huge ass. all the 'dancing crews' are local bands from the area around me, Chore, Blue Skies at War, At the Mercy of Inspiration, etc.
i dont think it actually has anything to do with a pool boy, but a father who put work over family."the cash was worth the fucking change" could mean working all those hours for money u changed your family,and its not worth it.
