The Regulator Lyrics

Cover art for The Regulator lyrics by Clutch

I see that lantern trimmed low burning (mood lights?) in our home. (probably referring to a home he belonged to with a lover who gave him the boot, reinforced in a later passage) And though I feel like crying, I swear tonight, I'll cry no more. (possibly because he has revenge in mind)

Is his wallet leather? Is his wallet fat? For not a year later it's got you lying on your back. (the lover who owns the house he once belonged to left him for a wealthier man, so much that she is now on her back giving birth to his child not a year later than he was dumped, signifying she was having an affair with this man, or possibly just giving it up for this guy) You should have closed your windows and got another dog. You should have chained up all the doors and switched up all the locks. (possibly because the narrator is going to murder these people out of revenge)
