Cover art for Hair-Trigger lyrics by Protest the Hero

Hair-Trigger” is about addiction. I believe the type of addiction is fairly evident through the massive metaphor. It was kind of a cheap way to write an entire song about a burning little stick and not have it consist of only two lines. It was sort of my way of communicating to people that I do not love it. - Rody Walker

Dig the explanation. It shows addiction to something so small can fuck you up the most
