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.

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...

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.
