Lead Poisoning Lyrics

Cover art for Lead Poisoning lyrics by Alkaline Trio

This is by far my favorite song on the album. I think its about a failed relationship but more specifically Matt's failed marriage. Like many alkaline trio songs about breakups, they really capture the emotions of that experience so well. I can really relate to the line "I climbed out limbless to the ledge to bask in my last true regrets". My last relationship is the only one i truly regret ever getting into. It totally rocked me and this song really speaks to how that feels. I also love the way Matt sings this line "I climbed out lifeless to the edge, I waved goodbye and leapt high". The trio really understand what a breakup is like, more than any other band ive heard. Love them and love this album.

PS: I thought that "brass fist" sounded really random haha. "abraxus" makes a lot more sense xD
