My Justine Lyrics

Cover art for My Justine lyrics by Larkin Grimm

I imagine that the narrator was staying in Justine's home when a hurricane or heavy flood hit, and Justine is lost outside somewhere. The narrator is trapped in a lead-painted room, and as the song progresses she slips into a madness brought on by lead poisoning. Very creepy.

The govt put an end to the use of lead paint in 1976 or thereabouts. The singer was born in 1981. I am guessin' the room really isn't "lead-painted," rather it's simply a metaphor...a poisonous environment, perhaps emotionally or mentally threatening and confining. Oh, who knows. I just enjoy bursting the balloons of those gifted with incredible intelligence.
