Lead Paint
Acid King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lead paint doesn't taste so bad
Slow thats the only way i know
Just one more trip around the block
I'm not ready to go
That's the only way i know
In the first line of the song "Cracked window paint," it seems like the singer is describing a place that has not been maintained properly. When they sing, "Lead paint doesn't taste so bad," they could be talking about the lead paint that was commonly used in houses before it was banned in the late 1970s. Perhaps the singer is referencing the dangers of lead paint and how it can affect one's health. The lyrics "slow that's the only way I know" and "just one more trip around the block" could be interpreted in a few different ways, but it seems like the singer is saying that they have a certain way of doing things and they are not ready to change. The repetition of "that's the only way I know" drives home this sentiment.
Overall, the lyrics to "Lead Paint" are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. The themes of decay and stubbornness come through clearly, but it is unclear exactly what the singer is trying to say. The repetitive structure of the lyrics gives the song a hypnotic quality, which adds to the overall feeling of unease that the song evokes.
