[Verse]         I like my town with a little drop of poison   Nobody knows they’re lining up to go insane I’m all alone I smoke my friends down to the filter But I feel much cleaner after it rains [Chorus] She left in the fall that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison She left in the fall that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison [Verse] Did the devil make the world while God was sleeping Someone said you’ll never get a wish from a bone Another wrong goodbye and a hundred sailors   That deep blue sky is my home      [Chorus] She left in the fall that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison She left in the fall that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison [Verse] A rat always knows when he’s in with weasels       Here you lose a little every day         I remember when a million was a million            They all have ways to make you pay       [Chorus] She left in the fall that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison She left in the fall that’s her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une atmosphère mélancolique où l’artiste se sent isolé au sein de sa ville, marquée par une certaine déchéance. Il parle de la solitude, des souvenirs d'une relation perdue, et de la manière dont le poison, symbolisant des désirs ou des émotions néfastes, fait partie de la vie quotidienne. Les références à la douleur et aux souvenirs, comme la photo accrochée au mur, soulignent un sentiment de nostalgie et de désillusion. Le contexte semble se dérouler dans une ambiance sombre, où la perte et la désillusion sont omniprésentes. La réflexion sur les choix de vie et les conséquences, ainsi que la critique des illusions de bonheur, comme celles d'autrefois, s'entrelacent. Tout cela fait écho à des sentiments universels de tristesse et de quête de sens.
